Midas Touch: McLaren 765LT Spider by McLaren Special Operations revealed

The origins of McLaren Special Operations date back nearly 30 years, the division growing out of the McLaren Customer Care Programme that was set up in the early 1990s to service, maintain and personalise the McLaren F1. Today, MSO offers a complete tailoring service for any McLaren model and continues to expand under tiers of personalisation that include MSO Defined, covering series options, MSO Bespoke offering near limitless level of personalisation, MSO Limited creating limited-run and special editions of the latest McLaren vehicles and MSO Heritage, responsible for maintenance of the brand’s legacy models such as the McLaren F1.

The 765LT Spider in MSO Bespoke Pacific Colourstream showcases the artistic finesse and design subtlety that are possible with an MSO Bespoke order. Photographed next to the 765LT Spider is another example of the 675LT adorning a paintwork executed by MSO and inspired by the Gulf colours seen on the McLaren F1.

Lighter and with even higher levels of performance on both road and track than LT predecessors, the McLaren 765LT Spider is the latest in a line of ‘Longtail’ McLarens. The most powerful-ever convertible supercar raises the bar for driver engagement in the McLaren LT experience.

The car opened a new chapter in the ‘Longtail’ story that began with the McLaren F1 GTR race car in the 1990s and elevates to new levels the attributes that underpin every LT: extreme design, driver engagement, track-focused dynamics, minimised weight, optimised aerodynamics and increased power. The LT promise of being ‘limited to the few’ is also fulfilled, with just 765 individually numbered cars available globally, which are all spoken for.
