- Edited by John Peel

Bespoke McLaren 720S by McLaren Special Operations combines fuchsia paint finish with white leather interior featuring body-coloured accents to create a McLaren like no other ‘Fux Fuchsia’ paint colour is to the individual specificat­ion of Michael Fux, the US-based entreprene­ur, philanthro­pist and car enthusiast who commission­ed the car from MSO Car presented to customer by McLaren Automotive CEO, Mike Flewitt and displayed on the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Concept Lawn on Sunday 20th August

Atruly striking, one-ofkind McLaren 720S makes its public debut this weekend at the illustriou­s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California. The Bespoke division of McLaren Special Operations crafted the unique McLaren supercar, to the specificat­ion of entreprene­ur and philanthro­pist, Michael Fux. McLaren Chief Executive Officer, Mike Flewitt, presented the car to Mr Fux in Monterey, ahead of it being displayed on the ‘Concept Lawn’ on Concours Sunday,

The exterior paint colour immediatel­y identifies the car as being designed to order, a service available to all McLaren customers through McLaren Special Operations. Named ‘Fux Fuchsia’, the colour was created for Mr Fux by RollsRoyce Motor Cars Limited and subsequent­ly redevelope­d by MSO; Mr Fux will retain exclusive rights to its use on any other McLaren vehicle.

“Challengin­g the art of the possible to meet the most demanding customer requiremen­ts and then delivering beyond expectatio­ns are integral to the service that McLaren Special Operations offers,” commented Jolyon Nash, McLaren Automotive Executive

Director, Global Sales and Marketing. “MSO provides McLaren owners with virtually limitless possibilit­ies to tailor a car exactly to their needs and tastes; unique paint colours and finishes, custom leather and stitching and exotic materials are all available within a bespoke commission, while beyond this there are opportunit­ies all the way up to complete vehicles designed to individual specificat­ion.”

The distinctiv­e hue also features as a detail on the lightweigh­t wheels, contrastin­g with the platinum finish of the alloy. Inside the car, door appliqués, a pinstripe on the steering wheel and even the rear-view mirror are all in body colour, providing highlights of fuchsia in a cabin that is otherwise resplenden­t from headlining to cup holder – and almost everything in between – in MSO Bespoke white leather with white stitching. White Alcantara® floor mats, again with white stitching, complete the theme.

In addition to the bespoke elements of the vehicle, the exhaust and window surrounds are in Stealth grey finish and carbon fibre components from the MSO Defined range have also been specified. These can be ordered on any McLaren, of any colour.

Michael Fux is renowned as a collector of highly desirable, rare cars and has previously commission­ed a McLaren 12C in McLaren Orange, a 12C Spider in bespoke purple and a McLaren P1™ in bespoke green.
