McLaren MSO HS (688 HS) Revealed

The McLaren MSO HS (High Sport) has just been revealed and here is all you need to know about the new 679 hp supercar.

The MSO HS is lighter than the standard 675 LT and boasts improved aerodynamics coupled with an updated twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine. It makes 679 hp and 516 lb-ft of peak torque. A revised titanium exhaust system is one of the reasons for the improvement in engine performance. The exhaust features a cross muffler to add more length and thus optimize flow.

The revised exterior features a P1-esque active rear wing. This new spoiler along with the front splitter, dive planes and vents add 220 kg of downforce at 150 mph.

To cut down on weight, McLaren Special Operations offers the MSO HS with Alcantara interior trim and carbon fiber racing seats. That’s straightaway a saving of 18.5 kg. Door-mounted heater controls are now integrated into the infotainment system.

It comes fitted with McLaren’s Track Telemetry package, three on-board cameras, F1-style shift lights and racing harnesses in place of normal seat belts.

The McLaren MSO HS is an exclusive model production of which will be limited to just 25 units. All cars will be built to customer specifications by MSO
