Oh dear, McLaren. No sooner do you reveal a car with the most emotional, controversial, nostalgic name in your history Senna you follow it up with the dullest. This, ladies and gentleman, is the X. The MSO X, in fact. Short for McLaren Special Operations Ten. Because what you"re ogling is the result of a limited run of ten hardcore-but-road-legal McLaren Sport Series supercars, built by the Special Ops skunkworks inside McLaren. Enough name semantics. The MSO X is the result of applying as much 570S GT4 racing car thinking and stripping-out to a numberplate-wearing 570S as MSO can get away with. This is no mere application of a fixed rear wing (good for an extra 100kg of downforce), a McLaren F1-inspired roof snorkel, and some debatable paint schemes.
