A showcase of the MSO-designed and engineered upgrades is now available for the McLaren 650S coupe and 650S spider

The car is being shown in China over the coming weeks with an array of special features, among them a carbon-fibre rear diffuser and carbon-fibre side blades.

RUBY RED FLAKE

The 650S coupe concept has a stealth-like appearence with subtle upgrades made to the bodywork and cabin. It's  finished in metallic black with a deep ruby red metallic flake to give the car a colour change in direct sunlight.

Light carbon-fibre accents, including the prominent front splitter and air intakes, are complemented by carbon-fibre side blades and the unique rear diffuser.

The MSO branded side blades are a full length interpretation of the door blades seen on the 650S coupe and spider models. Their satin finish improves airflow along the edges of the bodywork, further optimising aerodynamic efficiency.

The GT3-inspired rear bumper features a carbon-fibre centre section and the light material carries through to the air brake and rear diffuser. The engine bay has been enhanced with black engine covers. The exterior look of the 650S coupe concept is finished with the addition of a set of special black rims with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres.

The car's carbon-fibre racing seats, based on the light design found in the McLaren P1 are finished in carbon-black leather.

The seats position the occupants low in the car and, McLaren says, provide superb body support, while saving 15kg. Carbon-fibre features extensively through the cabin, enhanced by the switches and bezels that are finished in contrasting gloss black.
