This may look like a standard McLaren 650S at first glance, but it is much more special and exclusive. The MSO HS (High Sport) was created by McLaren's Special Operations division as a one-off version of the 650S and 675LT back in 2016. Its 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 has been upgraded to 678 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque compared to the 650S and 675LT that it is based on. Distinguishing the MSO HS from the 650S and 675LT are additional carbon fiber vents and diffusers for improved aerodynamics, an MSO-specific rear wing, and a standard roof scoop. The MSO HS also uses the same exhaust setup as the 675LT. Another notable feature added to the MSO HS from the 675LT is McLaren Track Telemetry, which uses three cameras and several sensors to help the driver go much quicker on the track. Only 25 MSO HS examples were ever produced, and no two MSO HS examples are the exact same. I am incredibly lucky to have seen one of those 25 MSO HS units up close at a car show back in April and didn't have to travel out of town in order to see it.
In all, the McLaren MSO HS is an amazing and incredibly cool supercar. It is also for those who want a 650S or 675LT except crazier and more unique.
Included in this post below is a standard McLaren 650S Spider at the same car show where I saw the MSO HS up close.
