    The McLaren MSO X Looks Like A Race Car For The Road

    McLaren’s MSO division just revealed their latest model based on the 570S and it is called the MSO X.

    The project was actually commissioned by McLaren Newport Beach and the 10 cars being built are designed and engineered to emulate the look and feel of the 570S GT4 race car but retain their road-legal status.

    As you can see on the exterior the MSO X resembles the 570S GT4 rather closely and even features liveries inspired by the mighty and legendary F1 GTR.

    • Large rear wing provides 100kg of downforce
    • Roof snorkel, dive planes, GT4-style bonnet
    • MSO Titanium Super Sports exhaust
    • Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres
    • Bodywork makes extensive use of satin-finish carbon fibre

    “Customers come to us with their thoughts and ideas and MSO works with them to set boundaries within which they can then let their imaginations run wild,” said Jolyon Nash, McLaren Automotive Executive Director, Global Sales and Marketing. “What could be better than a McLaren buyer playing the role of ‘race engineer’ in briefing the MSO team and directing them to test and validate those ideas to create a race-bred road car such as this?”

    Considering these are race car focused builds, the interior adopts a more minimalistic approach with parts of the carbon-fibre Monocell 2 chassis left exposed. There are also carbon-shelled bucket seats, carbon sills and a bespoke carbon bulkhead that features stowage space for a helmet.  Furthermore, the center tunnel storage has been removed and the center console is the same raised item you’d find in a 570S GT4.

    The project took just eight months from start to finish.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
