McLaren showed up to the Pebble beach Concours d’Elégance in July 2011 with the announcement of its McLaren Special Operation Program - a program that would offer their customers the chance to customize their MP4-12C
in any way they desire. The first model to receive the special
treatment was an MP4-12C in a Volcano Orange exterior finish and now we
have the second model to don the changes. The second MP4-12C to receive
these modifications is called the High Sport and features exterior and
interior updates, as well as an extra 75 HP.
Clearly,
the exterior benefited from the exquisite orange paint finish, but it
also received a new rear bumper with rear vents inspired from the
MP4-12C GT3 race car, an extended diffuser, and a modified active rear
wing. The MP4-12C also received a redesigned front nose in order to
maximize downforce. The extra 75 HP was achieved by increasing the
airflow to the turbo intercoolers.
The McLaren
MP4-12C High Sport is limited to only 5 units and is now available in
Miami dealerships. McLaren hasn’t announced pricing for these special
edition units, but expect to pay an extra 50%, at least, over the car’s
standard price of about $230,000.
UPDATE 03/05/2012:
McLaren has released the official photos of the uber limited MP4-12C.
Only five models of this special edition McLaren supercar have been made
so if you had any dreams of owning one, you’re going to be left out
because all five have already been spoken for. Photos come courtesy of
McLaren Special Operations’ official photographer, Tomirri Photography
