Here’s something to aspire to, and something which will be INCREDIBLE, thanks to McLaren’s Special Op department.<\/p>\n

McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the department of McLaren Automotive responsible for bespoke customer commissions, has confirmed details of the world\u2019s first \u2018Hyper-GT\u2019 which will be the most exquisitely crafted and luxurious road-going McLaren to date. \u00a0Development of the car, codenamed BP23, standing for Bespoke Project 2 and featuring three seats, will be entrusted to MSO with production limited to 106 units, all of which have already been pre-sold.<\/p>\n

That’s right, all of which have been PRE-SOLD, so I’m sorry if you were planning to buy one after reading this, my fault, you’ve missed the boat!
\nMcLaren Automotive\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, Mike Flewitt, said: \u201cBP23 will borrow the three seat layout with the central driving position made famous by the iconic McLaren F1, and it will be housed in a streamlined, shrink-wrapped carbon fibre body of great elegance. We are calling BP23 a \u2018Hyper-GT\u2019 because it\u2019s a car designed for longer journeys, but with the high levels of performance and driver engagement expected of any McLaren.\u00a0 A hybrid powertrain will make it one of the most powerful McLarens yet created but the car will also deliver the highest levels of refinement, enabling significant journeys to be undertaken with up to three people aboard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Design work has begun, with an ambition to deliver the first examples in early 2019.\u00a0 Production is being capped at 106 units which is exactly the same as the number of McLaren F1s produced. Future owners will work alongside MSO to create their own bespoke cars, being able to select colour, trim and other points of personalisation unique to them.\u00a0Such is the exceptional nature of the project, all of the switchgear will be bespoke and exquisitely crafted for the car.\u00a0 Like the McLaren F1 and all of McLaren Automotive\u2019s road and track cars, the car will feature dihedral doors, but for BP23, the doors will be powered for the first time with apertures extending into the roof.<\/p>\n
