McLaren Special Operations, the bespoke division of McLaren Automotive, has released images of the MSO 650S Coupe Concept – a showcase of the MSO designed and engineered upgrades available for the McLaren 650S Coupe and 650S Spider, the latest models to join to the McLaren Automotive range. The model is being shown throughout China over the coming weeks and includes an array of bespoke MSO features, including a newly designed carbon fibre rear diffuser and MSO-branded carbon fibre side blades.
The striking MSO 650S Coupe Concept has a stealth-like, menacing appearence, with subtle upgrades made to the exterior bodywork and within the driver-focused cabin. The MSO 650S Coupe Concept is finished in ‘Agrigan Black’, which is a metallic black paint specially developed in-house with a deep ruby red metallic flake. This paint effect gives the exterior bodywork a dramatic colour change in direct sunlight, contrasting with the extensive use of satin-finished carbon fibre highlights. The lightweight carbon fibre accents, including the prominent front splitter and air intakes, are complemented by bespoke MSO carbon fibre side blades and the unique MSO ear diffuser.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black: Extreme to the Extreme!
It is on secret we like AMGs here. They are big and powerful and sound like Brontosaurs farts which I suppose sound pretty cool. Couple that with a smattering of luxury and they make for on hell of a car. The current top of the heap is the Mercedes Benz SLS. By all accounts it is very good so when the wizards at AMG’s black division got ahold of it special became legendary.
As always the guys at AMG bring the thunder with a 6.3L V8 that pumps out 622hp. This is good for a 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. The SLS AMG Black tips the scales at a very unMercedes like 3,417 lbs. That’s not light weight by anyone’s standards but in a world of nearly 4,000 lb Camaros that’s not too bad.
