McLaren uses carbon fibre made enhancements for cars

December 16, 2014 - United Kingdom

McLaren Automotive, a manufacturer of luxury, high-performance sports cars now offers various enhancing options for the McLaren 650S and Asia-only 625C models using carbon fibre as base material.

McLaren Automotive is undertaking this initiative through one of its divisions - McLaren Special Operations (MSO), which again is implementing the same through one of its tiers - MSO Defined.

The MSO Defined category of personalisation includes an aerodynamic kit, designed to enhance the purposeful design of the groundbreaking McLaren 650S, to subtle carbon fibre interior upgrades.

The exterior styling can be modified with an addition of a carbon fibre rear diffuser and extended side door blades that premiered on the limited-edition MSO 650S earlier in the year.

Weight-saving options in the form of a full carbon fibre rear deck and mirror arms are also available, while new interior options include extended carbon fibre shift paddles and a redesigned instrument cluster.

The cluster can be fitted with Formula 1 inspired shift lights mounted on the instrument cluster that have been created in response to a popular demand from track day enthusiasts.

“There is a strong desire for drivers to personalise their cars and I’m convinced that the introduction of MSO Defined line will prove popular amongst our customers,” explains Paul Mackenzie, executive director of MSO.

He adds, “Every McLaren is unique but now, with more choice than ever before, we are enabling our customers to truly express themselves through their vehicles.” (AR)
