DESCRIPTION

One of 25 McLaren Edition SLRs by MSO is now for sale, featuring rare upgrades, custom paintwork and just 1,200 km since completion. Offered here is one of only 25 SLR McLarens upgraded to full ‘McLaren Edition’ specification by McLaren Special Operations. Originally delivered to Japan in 2005, this example returned to Woking in 2017 under its current ownership for an extensive MSO transformation. Drawing on insights from the SLR production era and feedback from owners, the upgrades aimed to align the SLR more closely with McLaren's motorsport heritage. The car was returned to Japan in 2019 following the conversion and has since covered just 1,200 kilometres. It remains in impeccable condition and presents a rare opportunity to own an MSO-signed modern classic. Although the 5.4-litre supercharged V8 was left untouched, MSO engineers improved driving dynamics with revised suspension components. The ride height was lowered by 10mm, while new dampers and springs sharpened handling. Aerodynamics were upgraded using a carbon-Kevlar floor, 722 GT-style wheel arch vents, a new rear diffuser, and an extended airbrake—boosting downforce by 15% over the SLR 722 Edition. A ceramic-coated exhaust system further refines the car’s distinctive soundtrack. Aesthetic changes include reshaped front intakes styled to echo the McLaren logo. This example is particularly well specified, featuring 722 S-specification wheels and tinted lights. Inside, it benefits from a full black Alcantara retrim with red stitching and MSO embroidery on the headrests. The Alcantara steering wheel matches the rest of the tailored interior. The exterior is finished in a deep metallic red that can appear almost black in low light, offering dramatic road presence. For collectors seeking exclusivity and factory refinement, this MSO-enhanced SLR is one of the finest available today.
