The McLaren MSO X is the latest race-focused design by the venerable car company. Designed to be edgy and mean, the MSO X is the latest platform dedicated to pushing the capabilities of the already impressive McLaren fleet. This amazing car may be a sought-after vehicle from McLaren, but for those looking to buy one at a dealer will be sorely disappointed. The MSO X comes from a specific [race-focused line of McLarens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-monocell-edition) that can only be bought when a custom order is submitted to the company.

The focus of the McLaren MSO X is purely on track racing, but the vehicle is also completely street-legal. The body is designed with roof scoops for better air efficiency and the rear wing helps to create 100kg more downforce. Dive planes and a vented bumper aid in wind performance, and help to create a [sleek and intimidating design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-f1-concept). Internally speaking, the MSO X retains the same specs as the McLaren [570S](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-570s-concept). The MSO X was built using the 570S as a base platform and therefore maintains the same internals. This means that the MSO X packs 562 horse power, can reach 0-60 in 3.0 seconds, has a top speed of 204 mph and fuel capacity of 19 gallons.
