The 720S may only be a month old, but McLaren‘s Special Operations wasted no time in getting its hands on the Super Series addition, unveiling a slick “Velocity” makeover for the vehicle just a few short weeks ago. Now the beloved British automotive imprint is back with its latest version of the 720S: the “Saros.” Marked by a unique exterior paint job in the namesake “Saros” hue, the vehicle comes complete with a “Jet Black/Xenon Yellow” leather interior while carbon fiber hits everything from the front splitter, rear bumper, and roof to the door sills, bonnet inlets, mirror casings, and air intakes. As far as tech specs go, the vehicle still offers up the newly introduced 4-liter twin turbocharged V8 and churns out 710 horsepower, 568 lb-ft of torque, acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 212 mph.

The “Saros” is expected to launch this July after making a debut at Auto Shanghai later this month.
