McLaren showed up to the Pebble beach Concours d’Elégance in July 2011 with the announcement of its McLaren Special Operation Program - a program that would offer their customers the chance to customize their MP4-12C in any way they desire. The first model to receive the special treatment was an MP4-12C in a Volcano Orange exterior finish and now we have the second model to don the changes. The second MP4-12C to receive these modifications is called the High Sport and features exterior and interior updates, as well as an extra 75 HP. Clearly, the exterior benefited from the exquisite orange paint finish, but it also received a new rear bumper with rear vents inspired from the MP4-12C GT3 race car, an extended diffuser, and a modified active rear wing. The MP4-12C also received a redesigned front nose in order to maximize downforce. The extra 75 HP was achieved by increasing the airflow to the turbo intercoolers. The McLaren MP4-12C High Sport is limited to only 5 units and is now available in Miami dealerships. McLaren hasn’t announced pricing for these special edition units, but expect to pay an extra 50%, at least, over the car’s standard price of about $230,000. UPDATE 03/05/2012: McLaren has released the official photos of the uber limited MP4-12C. Only five models of this special edition McLaren supercar have been made so if you had any dreams of owning one, you’re going to be left out because all five have already been spoken for. Photos come courtesy of McLaren Special Operations’ official photographer, Tomirri Photography. Hit the jump to watch a video of the McLaren MP4-12C High Sport. 20 comments: McLaren MP4-12C High Sport More than its specified great performance, its price will go higher as it’s about to be personalized anyway. It’s still dynamic, regardless of that, as I believe that only the design will be modified for the customers.
 The “High Sport” addition to its name came from the drastic spurt of its power, which has improved thankfully because of the turbo intercoolers.
 Because of the tuning, it got better in terms of appearance and performance. What has been added really are effective.
 High Sport received a lot of enhancement, empowering all aspects of it. Along with quality hike comes the value hike too, unfortunately.
 I love how more dynamic it got because of the added features. The redesigned components also looked better.
 The modifications are actually good, but what? Additional 50%? As long as it can give full contentment to the buyer, it’s a money spent well!
 What do you expect from a massively upgraded car? Of course, the amount raised in price takes a tall toll too. Nevertheless, the modifications done are worth it.
 Wow, it truly looks fierce, especially the front and the side designs. The powerful performance even has a chance to get an increase, thanks to the turbo intercoolers.
 It seems like the concept of Lamborghini. This has a standard concept. The body paint looks so aggressive for me.
