As the McLren 600LT Spider is all set to enter production, the McLaren Special Operations (MSO) has prepared a bespoke version of the newcomer for display at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show 2019.
The McLaren 600LT Spider by MSO is draped in a ‘Dove Gray’ livery enhanced by elements made in ‘Napier Green’ finish, which was one of the original shades of the 675LT Spider.

This ‘Napier Green’ hue is also significant for the fact that it is applied through an innovative, lightweight and flexible film, which is so far used by McLaren in its 720S GT3 and 570S GT4 race models.
For the 600LT Spider, the film is applied to the splitter, sills and door inserts as well as the rear diffuser, where the four outer vertical ribs create a highly distinctive look.
The car features the full suite of carbon fibre options, including the MSO Defined Visual Carbon Fibre Front Fender Louvres, the ‘gills’ that have rapidly become one of the most popular options for the 600LT.
In another homage to the 675LT, all the Visual Carbon Fibre exterior elements feature a satin finish. The retractable hard-top is MSO Bespoke Carbon Black while the 10-spoke Ultra Lightweight forged alloy wheels have a gloss black finish.
Napier Green is the MSO Bespoke choice for the brake calipers and this provides the inspiration for contrasting stitching and the 12 o’clock mark on the steering wheel inside the cabin. Unique among Sports Series models, the 600LT is also optionally equipped with super-lightweight carbon fibre racing seats, originally developed for the McLaren Senna.
MSO Bespoke additions on show include 600LT headrest embroidery, Alcantara headlining and steering wheel and a range of MSO ‘surprise and delight’ features for owners to find. These include an accelerator pedal etched with 600LT branding and an MSO dedication plaque.
The 600LT Spider houses the 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine tuned to produce 592 bhp. It sprints from a 0-100 kmph in just 2.9 seconds while attaining a top speed of at 324kmph with the retractable hard-top in place.
