MSO-Tuned McLaren 600LT Coming To Pebble Beach


This new McLaren 600LT in Stealth Grey by MSO will be unveiled on the Concept Lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, on Sunday, August 26.


Its exterior is finished in a Stealth Grey MSO Bespoke paint, while the rest of the car packs a wide range of upgrades from the MSO Defined catalogue of options, as well as a few MSO Bespoke customer choices.


The McLaren 600LT was first launched at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, and marketed as the British automaker’s lightest, most powerful road-legal Sports Series car ever. Power comes from a 600 PS 3.8-liter twin turbo V8 engine, allowing you to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 2.8 seconds, before maxing out at 204 mph (328 km/h).


“MSO Bespoke was established to help customers realize their dreams and allows an almost limitless level of customization where imagination is the only restrictive factor,” stated MSO exec, Ansar Ali. “With MSO Defined we offer a range of personalization beyond the standard factory options.”


“For this special 600LT we have combined a sprinkling of both to create a car that showcases the lightness and track-focused performance of this latest Longtail variant.”


Exterior features include the Stealth Grey paint finish with a Matte Black, McLaren Orange Exterior Pack, the visual carbon fiber roof scoop and all three Carbon Fiber Upgrade packs available for the 600 LT – they include door mirrors, exterior door inserts, front splitter, rear bumper, diffuser, rear deck and service cover.


Then there is the MSO Defined Carbon Fiber Roof and Cantrails, plus the fender louvres, made from the same lightweight material. Also fitted are ultra-lightweight 10-spoke alloys with a gloss black finish.


Since the McLaren 600LT is in the business of being a track-focused supercar, its interior boasts features such as the super-lightweight carbon fiber racing seats (from the Senna), a carbon fiber interior upgrade pack (central tunnel and door insert panels), and the harness bar and 6-point harnesses from the MSO Clubsport Pro Pack.


There is also the carbon fiber roof scoop cover and the twin visual carbon fiber intake hoses for the scoop, which are seamlessly integrated into the 600LT’s interior design.


For an extra touch of Luxury, McLaren went with an upgraded 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system, bespoke embroidery in the headrests, the discrete etching of ‘600LT’ on the throttle pedal and a custom set of hand-painted keys.

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
