It's hard to find two supercars->ke177 that are cooler than the McLaren P1.->ke4608 Some would nominate the LaFerrari,->ke4626 while others would go with the Porsche 918 Spyder.->ke3629 I, on the other hand, would nominate two cars: the McLaren F1 or a P1 that's been customized through the McLaren Special Operations (MSO) division.

With the F1->ke1159 significantly rarer and more expensive than the P1, an MSO-customized P1 seems to be the more attainable dream, to those who have already booked a P1 and have more than $1 million to spare, of course. As you may already know, all P1s have been spoken for since late 2013. But because building one is a laborious process, McLaren->ke284 is still busy delivering the final batch of cars of the total 375-unit production run. And because the P1 has proven more popular for personalization than another supercars, one-off models keeping rolling out MSO's shop in England.

The latest P1 by MSO to come into the spotlight is this gorgeous, blue-painted example that seems to sport a Superman-inspired theme. As usual, it's the paint that makes it unique. While the glossy blue wrap already makes it stand out among other P1s, the bright-red stripes on its side skirts, front bumper, trunk lid, doors, and wheels make it that much more stunning to look at. The uniqueness continues on the inside, where the supercar received a light-blue center console and extra carbon-fiber and Alcantara.

The hybrid->ke147 drivetrain remained unchanged, but that's far from disappointing given total output sits at 903 horsepower and 1,100 pound-feet of torque.

Why it matters

I don't how many P1s are still due to be delivered, but I do hope McLaren has many more MSO-built supercars in the pipeline. When a vehicle is this fast and expensive, a bespoke appearance is the only way to go. If you ask me, both the customers and McLaren are doing the right thing. Meanwhile, most Ferrari->ke252 enthusiasts are still buying red LaFerraris.
