will use anything as an excuse to show off the customization prowess of its McLaren Special Operations (MSO) division. In the past, it has released bespoke cars to celebrate

. With its recent creation, McLaren is using the 2019

Geneva Motor Show

to display what a

600LT Spider

could look like with a few special touches.

According to McLaren, about half of all 600LT Coupe buyers use MSO in some form or another, so it assumed fans and customers would like to see similar treatment on the open-top Spider version. McLaren has shown MSO projects regularly at Geneva, and with overall demand and production ramping up, it wasn’t about to stop in 2019.

This show car is meant to be somewhat of an ode to the 600LT’s predecessor, the

675LT

, and uses Napier Green as the accent color, an original paint from the

675LT

. The main body color is called Dove Grey and gives the car an under-the-radar smoky look.

To apply the Napier Green — which outlines several aero pieces, appears on the brake calipers, and stripes across the side of the body — McLaren used a method previously only done on race cars. As it did with the 720S GT3 and

570S

GT4, McLaren applied the paint by compressing it into a “light and flexible film.”

No

supercar

is complete these days without splashes of carbon fiber, and the MSO 600LT adheres to the trend. The exposed carbon fiber aero kit and the door scoops were given a satin finish to contrast the gloss black wheels.

The interior has several optional features, as well. It has carbon fiber racing seats that were first developed for the McLaren Senna, with 600LT embroidered into the headrests. It also features an Alcantara headliner and steering wheel, as well as green contrasting elements all over the place. More carbon fiber was applied to the door inserts, the tunnel sides, the gear select housing and the infotainment surround.

The 600LT by MSO is not one of McLaren’s most outrageous works, nor does it have a specific theme for its debut, but it will surely draw plenty of attention in Geneva.

Since driving one

, we’ve spent most of our time daydreaming about what it’d be like to craft our own.
