MSO Reveals Two New Special Edition McLaren 720S Models


Two new McLaren 720S designs have been brought to life as bespoke commissions by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), after being previewed earlier this year in Geneva.


The 720S Pacific Theme and 720S Track Theme are said to be from the same porfolio as the McLaren 720S Velocity Theme, the latter also a visitor of the 2017 Geneva Motor Show and future attendee of the Salon Privé at the end of this month.


“The 720S is an exceptional car in every respect in standard form but there is always the potential to make it even more special with additional, individual, creative input, which is where McLaren Special Operations comes in,” stated MSO exec, Ansar Ali. “We were overwhelmed by the reaction to the 720S Velocity at its unveiling and to bring to life two more versions of the MSO 720S Themes portfolio further demonstrates that MSO can fulfill any request to ensure that a car perfectly meets and customer’s vision.”


The first 720S Track Theme has been commissioned by McLaren Manchester and is finished in Anniversary White, which is an MSO Bespoke exterior paint inspired by the McLaren Formula One cars of the 80’s. The exterior of the car features hand-painted detailing on the bonnet, doors, rear quarter panels and carbon black airbrake, as well as McLaren’s F1 color from 2017 (Tarroco Orange), which can also be found on the outer rim of the gloss black wheels.


All exterior and interior carbon fiber bits have a satin finish, while the cabin is trimmed in Jet Black Alcantara with McLaren Orange contrast stitching.

The 720S Pacific Theme came out of McLaren Glasgow and draws its inspiration from the world’s largest and deepest ocean. Its exterior is painted in Cerulean Blue, while the door intakes are finished in a darker Estoril Blue.


Other features include the tinting of carbon fiber components, as Cobalt Blue-tinted carbon is used on the roof, front splitter, air intakes, mirror casings, rear diffuser, rear deck, rear bumper and engine cover.

Inside the 720S Pacific Theme there are bespoke blue inserts and contrast stitching, and a discreet blue center band on the steering wheel.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
