Here's a little riddle for you: what's green, gets called orange and actually comes with carbon fiber texture?
The answer comes in the form of the McLaren P1 shown in the footage at the bottom of the page. And, in our book, this is just as orange-hued as it is a green vehicle thanks to its gas-electric setup.

Focusing on the color, a more... traditional shade of orange can be found of the 570S GT4 racecar, which you can find in the second part of the clip. Speaking of which, the 4k resolution will allow you to focus on every little detail of these Woking machines, so each second of the two-minute-plus footage is nothing short of delicious.

The two Macs greeted the public late last month at the Monterey Car Week, but with the Californian high-octane gathering having brought tons and tons of cool (and uncool) goodies, we couldn't find the time to bring you these McLarens until now.

Returning to the orange P1, this is a showcase of Mclaren Special Operations possibilities, with the automaker's personalisation arm growing exponentially.

Sure, the P1, with its 375-unit production run, might be the most exclusive of member of the HHHT (Holy Hybrid Hypercar Trinity), but this doesn't mean one owner will be willing to have a similar car to another.

And if you think the gas-electric McLaren we have here is extreme in terms of appearance, you should check out another recent P1 MSO effort. We're talking about the time when the Brits deliver a matching livery P1 and MP4/ Formula One racecar. Not that's a combo to remember.

And giving your McLaren the MSO treatment has other benefits - for instance, if you're looking to buy and uber-limited model such as the MSO HS (you know, the 688 PS beast that's said to only come in 25 examples), the extend to which you had customized your previous Macs could determine your chances of grabbing one - here's an example of this.
