One particularly interesting bit regarded the shooting brake, which Nurnberger said, "we sort of started it and then realized to make a really good shooting brake we had to do a lot more engineering."

MSO Introduces McLaren 720S Pacific and Track Themes
McLaren Special Operations has cooked up more special editions of the 720S. The automaker announced it has delivered the first 720S vehicles to wear the Track Theme and Pacific Theme designations.
The first 720S Track Theme, commissioned by McLaren Manchester, features an Anniversary White paint job inspired by the automaker's Formula 1 cars of the 1980s. The exterior also features black and orange accents on the doors, rear, and hood. The black wheels feature orange on the outer rim, and the "Speedy Kiwi" design on the mirror caps further celebrates McLaren's racing heritage. To save weight, all carbon fiber components have a satin finish instead of paint. Inside, you'll find black Alcantara upholstery with orange contrast stitching. Bred for the track, this car has a lightweight titanium harness bar that can be fitted with a six-point harness.
