Official: McLaren MSO HS Revealed With Full Specs and Pictures

Though McLaren isn't quoting official weights, the HS is bound to tip the scales at a far lower figure than a standard Super Sport vehicle. Carbon-backed buckets borrowed from the P1 and the extensive use of Alcantara and carbon fiber have already stripped 40 pounds out. The polycarbonate engine cover, two circular titanium exhaust pipes that exit through the exposed bodywork, superlight ten-inch alloys with matching gloss-black carbon ceramic brake calipers, and lighter glass have shaved even more pounds off. Further accentuating the MSO HS's obvious track-focused nature is the addition of the McLaren Track Telemetry, or MTT, system.

Along with registering and displaying info on lap deltas and sector times through the car's IRIS display, an array of cameras in the bumpers and cabin that further complement the data-logging functionality allowing the driver to further analyze his or her performance on the circuit. It's all incredibly clever stuff, and those who get a kick out of this sort of thing (which is bound to be the people who buy a car as focused and committed to track work as the MSO HS) will undoubtedly adore the functionality and features provided in the MTT setup. If you'd love to own an MSO HS and haven't approached McLaren already, then you're out of luck.

All 25 examples that will ever be made have been allocated homes - too bad for the rest of us who'll never get the chance to own such a magnificent motor car. Hey, there's always the second-hand market.
