McLaren->ke284 recently trooped to Hong Kong to introduce its P1->ke4608 supercar->ke177 to arguably one of the most exotic-friendly markets in the world. But in the course of telling the gathered crowd that the P1 would cost HKD$8.9 million (excluding First Registration Tax) - that's about $1.14 million based on current exchange rates, by the way - the British automaker also brought a special one-off MP4-12C that came straight out of its McLaren Special Operations program.

Similar to past one-off creations out of the customization program, this 12C B&W Edition, was treated to a bevy of modifications, highlighted by a two-tone exterior with a unique white color and gloss black accents. The latter, in fact, was used on the roof, the front splitter, the mirror casings and the wheels.

Additionally, the 12C B&W Edition also had its gloss white paint on both the air vents and the instrument cluster bezel, providing a consistency of color and shade that belies its appearance as a true one-off supercar.

And in case there are any questions regarding how much the 12C B&W Edition is going to cost, McLaren has officially priced it at a tidy HKD$4.68 million, which is just a shade above $600,000 based on current exchange rates.

There's something to be said for a supercar, even a one-off make like this, to carry such a price tag. But given the exotic climate in a place like Hong Kong, we doubt this piece of handiwork from the McLaren Special Operations program would sit long in the McLaren dealership.

McLaren MP4-12C

First introduced in 2010, the McLaren MP4-12C has become one of the most popular supercars in the world. With the heritage of the iconic F1->ke662 in its blood, the MP4-12C is a serious exotic monster, complete with a 3.8-liter V-8 engine that produces 616 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. All that power translates to performance figures that includes a 0-to-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 207 mph.

The popularity of the MP4-12C is largely credited for McLaren to decide on giving birth to its Special Operations program and in the time that it's been around, it's not a coincidence that most McLarens that go through the bespoke personalization program is the 12C.

The latest example of that, of course, is the just-launched 12C B&W Edition in Hong Kong
