Feel like special edition McLarens have lost their edge? This should put you right.
We all know that McLaren loves a special edition car. Take the Senna, for instance, which was later followed up by the GTR, the LM, the GTR LM and the US-only Sabre. Or how about the Elva? Can you remember how many variants of the Speedster were made? Problem is, when you turn the tap so righteously on, you do run the risk of diluting things a touch. Or even a lot.
But that wasn’t always the case. Shortly after the MP4-12C’s arrival in 2011, images began circulating of a tweaked version of the V8 supercar called the HS , featuring a new front end and rear bumper. It was shrouded in secrecy at the time, with McLaren simply saying it was the latest creation to come out of MSO and that only a handful would be made.
Of course, it’s clear there’s nothing remotely normal about the 688HS just from the way it looks. The overall silhouette of the 675LT remains, only we now get a dive planes up front, slats above the front wheel arches and a massive active rear wing that generates up to 220kg of downforce at 150mph. The cherry on the cake – and a must-have on the MSO options list – is the roof snorkel that makes the 688HS look like a modern dayMoreover, MSO put the 688HS on a bit of a diet.
