McLaren 570GT XP Green by MSO is a very BRITISH Limited Edition

The McLaren 570GT XP Green by McLaren Special Operations is a run of just six special 570GTs evoking the original McLaren F1 XP GT Longtail.

If you buy a McLaren, the options to customise to your tastes are as deep as your pockets, although as a result customer cars are not always the epitome of class and style.

But McLaren has a way round that by using its Special Operations Division (MSO) to create short-run, bespoke creations of regular McLaren models which really are sensibly enhanced. 

The latest creation is the McLaren 570GT XP Green, a run of just six cars for the UK and Europe and with a look which evokes the legendary McLaren F1 XP GT Longtail, the original homologation model from 1997.

The 570GT gets the same XP Green paint job as the Longtail, with a Tan saddle leather interior featuring green leather inserts and green stitching, and a plaque denoting its special model status.

Exterior tweaks – in addition to the XP Green paint job, include Saddle Tan Aero pin-striping edging on the front aero blades, side skirts and rear diffuser, a same colour stripe on the doors, a silver grey Union Jack emblem and black exterior trim highlights.

All six cars are staying close to home – UK, Germany and the Netherlands – with prices starting from £188,567.

Unless you choose to dip heavily in to McLaren’s endless options, that is.
