One of the most unique models from McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the 2020 McLaren Sabre ‘Excalibur’. This example shown here finished in a surreal combination of bright metallic white with gloss black carbon fiber, metallic silver and gold painted accents. This Sabre is believed to be the 2nd car built out of a planned 16 cars that will be produced, with each car carrying it’s own unique spec. The Sabre 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 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. On the interior this car is equipped the the P1-style seating, with Senna-style seating also available as an option. The wheels of the Sabre are also another McLaren first, which are diamond-machined 7-spoke wheels. The Sabre is truly the definition of hypercar heaven with a base price of around $3,700,000 per car. This particular example distinguishes itself from the others by being known ‘Excalibur’. The nickname was chosen by the owner and is meant to represent the legendary sword of King Arthur.
