There’s not much scope for improving the 750S - it’s as wildly exciting and formidably capable as you might hope a lightweight mid-engined McLaren to be in 2024. The latest update doesn’t change very much at all then, instead offering customers ‘the opportunity to further enhance their 750S with the trademark craftsmanship of MSO’.
The McLaren Special Operations Contrast Packs are the important additions for the 2025 model year, with a dozen pre-configured themes launched. It offers up MSO colours that aren’t usually available, with brake calipers and a mirror cap pinstripe in either a contrast or matching colour depending on the body paint chosen. The options for the Contrast Packs are Alaskan Diamond White, Tarmac Black, Soho Grey, Dove Grey, Viola Viola, Tokyo Pearl, XP Green, Napier Green, Solar Yellow, Anniversary Orange, Volcano Orange or Volcano Red seen here.
And this being McLaren, there isn’t just one MSO Contrast Pack. In addition to one for the outside, Contrast Pack 2 brings ‘bespoke interior treatments’. So that’s lots of Alcantara, lots of Carbon Black leather, then some colour in the form of a shade that complements or contrasts with the outside (again depending on which one has been chosen). Confused? Us too. Good job the 750S looks great in just about any colour…
The rest of the new options are a bit easier to understand. Stealth badging has been added, which makes the McLaren logos black and puts ‘Speedmarks’ on the centre caps. It’s also now possible to have carbon front wings in body colour with visual carbon louvres for a Longtail-style aesthetic (where previously it was just a body-coloured option). All 750S models now get a starter button in Papaya Orange.
McLaren’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer George Biggs said: “In its first year on sale the 750S has been a huge success. The car’s stellar reception with both the media who have driven it and with customers has exceeded all expectations, and the Model Year enhancements for 750S with new options from McLaren Special Operations ensure it remains a benchmark defining supercar with exclusivity and remarkable craftsmanship.”
McLaren’s (very good) configurator has been updated with the badges and visual carbon now, if you need a lunch break activity. Or for those that can make do with a red starter button and fewer MSO goodies, the classifieds are on hand…
