McLaren’s Special Operations division has been busy this year, creating the one-off X-1 supercar for Pebble Beach.
They set new benchmarks in supercar design with that one, but fortunately they had time to do something with the MP4-12C. On Friday, September 21st, they will be unveiling this, the MP4-12C Fire Black Singapore Edition at the Singapore F1 Grand Prix.

Only three will ever be made and they will cost a scarcely believable S$1.28 million, which is €800,000 or $1.04 million.

That’s a lot of money, and we don’t know if the car has that much to offer. The body of the car somewhat mimics the Vodafone-McLaren Mercedes F1. But perhaps given the fact the Singapore is a night race, they wanted to make it sinister and dark.

As such, the body is finished in Fire Black with accents in Rocket Red. Perhaps this is a multi-layer paintjob with a very deep finish to justify such a pricetag. At he same time ,the standard wheels have been replaced by lighter ones, and the front end styling is changed a little.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
