McLaren Special Operations (MSO) and Chinese fashion designer and entrepreneur, Mr Cabbeen, have combined to create a bespoke McLaren 570GT unveiled in Beijing at the Auto China 2018 show.
The first bespoke model developed by MSO to introduce distinctive Chinese classic design elements, the 570GT MSO Cabbeen Collection is the result of a styling collaboration with the Chinese fashion design wear company. Just five examples of the car will be available.
Finished in MSO Bespoke Obsidian Black paint complemented by a dragon design that has been hand-painted in Gloss Speedline Gold on both door inserts, the 570GT MSO Cabbeen Collection additionally features a new 15-Spoke GT wheel which, together with the brake callipers, are also finished in Gloss Speedline Gold.
MSO Defined Carbon Sill Covers grace the inside the cabin, with unique vivid sculptural dragons embroidered in gold on the Alcantara Centre Front Tunnel and Rear Luggage Deck. Designed by Mr Cabbeen to elevate the five Cabbeen Collection cars to a new level of interior luxury, the dragon motifs are an example of Chao Embroidery, which is recognised as part of China’s cultural heritage.
The embroidered dragons on each of the five cars were sewn by Kang Huifang, the Director of the Professional Embroidery Committee of China’s Arts and Crafts Institute who is renowned for her work over four decades to preserve the art of Chao Embroidery.
