Currently reading: McLaren MP4-12C SGP Edition to be revealed at Singapore GP

This weekend’s grand prix could see the reveal of a special McLaren MP4-12C built by McLaren Special Operations

A limited run McLaren MP4-12C SGP Edition will be unveiled on the eve of the Singapore grand prix this weekend. The special edition supercar’s reveal was leaked on the Teamspeed forum. 

McLaren Special Operations is expected to build three of the SFP models, which are priced at £790,000. Two have already been reportedly sold.

The special edition is finished in black with red highlights, said to echo McLaren's F1 car. It will also feature new front and rear bumpers and new lightweight alloy wheels.

The car will be officially unveiled at an event hosted by McLaren boss, Ron Dennis and head of sales, Marcus Korbach, in Singapore.

McLaren Special Operations was set up in 2011 to deliver special bespoke projects. Its first car, a Volcano Orange MP4-12C premiered at last year’s Pebble Beach concours d’elegance. This year it unveiled the extreme 12C-based McLaren X-1.

No way!

Jay Leno is not that stupid.  The land of the custom car is full of skilled auto painters who could reproduce that paint job for pocket money.  I have to believe the price is a misprint or it's for Stupid  Great Pillocks.

This price can't be right.

Seriously....

Which is it?

SGP or SFP?

I guess SGP, for Singapore Grand Prix, or just SinGaPore?

Is it possible that this was a customer special, but ultimately three were needed (at this price) to justify the work, but in the meantime, use a GP to have a bit of a song and a dance?

I reckon the three owners will be Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton and Jay Leno.  Smile
