a range of exterior carbon fiber parts selected from the MSO collection also features on the 720s ‘velocity’, further enhancing the bold and purposeful appearance of the second super series. in addition to the red carbon fiber bonnet, a gloss carbon rear deck vent, gloss carbon fiber service cover, gloss carbon rear aero bridge, and satin carbon full length sill cover are also fitted.

stepping inside the spacious, light and airy cabin of the ‘velocity’ supercar, occupants are presented with a carbon black alcantara trim throughout, providing a technical, sporting feel with a luxurious tactile finish, contrasting with ‘harissa’ red leather details. complementing the exterior ‘velocity’ theme, ‘harissa’ red highlights are continued throughout the interior, including on the fascia, steering wheel, doors and across the sports seats, enhancing mclaren’s most luxurious super series interior to date. 

‘the MSO mission is to fulfil customer desire for exclusivity in their choice of mclaren,’ explains ansar ali, managing director of mclaren special operations. he continues, ‘the lean, sculpted beauty of the new 720S provides the perfect starting point for owners to be creative and the specification of this MSO 720S ‘velocity’ showcases a taste of the customisation options that are possible.’
