McLaren MP4-12C MSO Concept Revealed
Created to show off what the McLaren Special Operations division is capable of, the British automaker has revealed the MP4-12C MSO concept.
The McLaren 12C MSO sports an updated hood, new front aerodynamic bits, rear wing vents and a unique air brake. All those additions have been crafted with lightweight carbon fiber while titanium wheel bolts, oil and water filler caps help the 12C lose some unwanted pounds. Completing the exterior package is a new set of lightweight wheels.

Though the brand didn’t share just how much weight savings is involved, but considering the 12C already weighs in at a scant 3,161 lbs, it’s probably not a noticeable difference. On the inside, more carbon fiber can be found on the instrument cluster.
The British automaker didn’t announce whether or not the MSO concept will be available for purchase, but we imagine customers could custom order one to their liking through MSO.
