This beautiful car shown here is one of the most unique models from McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the 2020 McLaren Sabre, chassis SBMBC3CA5LW000011. This example shown here finished in a surreal combination of Liquid Argentum/gloss visual carbon fiber over a Carbon Black/Volcano Orange Alcantara interior. This Sabre is 1 of just 16 total examples built for the world, making it easily one of the rarest McLaren production cars ever to be built historically. The Sabre model was created for a group of 15 clients who all were able to participate in the development of the car, with the first Sabre ever to be sold by @mclarenbeverlyhills. It’s important to note that the Sabre was designed and homologated exclusively for the US market, allowing for ideas and innovations to be implemented that would not be permitted on a global homologation level. The Sabre is the first McLaren to ever feature a large dorsal fin on the engine bay cover that connects to it’s massive LMP1 inspired rear wing, and also the first McLaren to feature an active aerodynamic focused rear-diffuser. The McLaren Sabre is also the quickest two-seat McLaren ever produced, eclipsed only by the three-seater McLaren F1 & Speedtail models. The Sabre is also the most powerful non-hybrid McLaren ever produced as well. The wheels of the Sabre are also another McLaren first, which are diamond-machined 7-spoke wheels. Some other fascinating features shown here on this car include a Stealth Inconel exhaust, a Gorilla Glass engine cover, Volcano Orange brake calipers, Contrasting MSO logos embroidered on headrests and much more. This particular example is believed to reside in Beverly Hills as of 2024 and it’s truly a stunning piece of advanced engineering, design, and history, all combined into one. This Sabre was offered during the @mecum_auctions 2022 Monterey Auction.
