Special Edition McLaren 650S MSO Makes Debut At Goodwood Festival of Speed

Visitors to the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed were in for a treat when McLaren parked the brand new special edition 650S MSO in the super car paddock. McLaren had announced that they would be unveiling two new models at this years event both being variations of the 650S.

Just 50 examples of the MSO 650S will ever be built in both coupé and spider forms. The coupé will cost £252,000 and the spider £272,500. Exterior additions to the car include numerous carbonfibre styling upgrades, including extended side blades, while a new three-piece rear bumper now incorporates carbon as well. A more aggressive rear diffuser is also fitted and the car is available in three colours. Another noticeable difference is the ten-spoke lightweight alloy wheels, which McLaren says saves four kilos of weight over the standard units. These little touches make the MSO 650S look and feel extra special.

The Inside, the McLaren 650S MSO interior gets carbon black leather and Alcantara trim with carbon fibre detailing, with a unique plaque denoting the car. The engine remains unchanged with 650PS (641bhp) on tap from the twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8, both cars are capable of catapulting their owners from standstill to 100kph in just three seconds, so there’s little reason to feel disappointed that there has been no upgrade in this department.

The McLaren 650S MSO is the perfect edition to any supercar collection and the exclusiveness of this model makes it even more desirable. Ad Astra Lifestyle magazine will be at the Goodwood Festival of Speed throughout the weekend and will bring you more news from the event.
