Equipment
5439cc/617hp V-8, automatic, MSO steering and suspension upgrades, titanium exhaust, body kit.
Condition
One of 25 cars built to individual order by MSO (McLaren Special Operations). Originally finished in black over black, and sent back to the factory in 2011 for its current configuration. 9300 original miles. In excellent condition, showing little to no use.
Market commentary
After McLaren stopped building the hyper-GT it co-developed with Mercedes-Benz, the factory offered a bespoke program where it would modify and improve used SLRs to owner's individual specifications at a cost of £150,000. The handling and styling upgrades in the "McLaren Edition" are notable, and this one looks sharp in these colors. The price it brought is slightly under its $725K estimate and less than the value of the "722 Edition" trim also offered on the SLR McLaren, but $715K is nevertheless about twice as much as a base coupe with this condition and mileage would normally sell for in today's market.
