McLaren Automotive has unveiled a stunning new multi-tone paint finish developed and applied by their world-class paint technicians at McLaren Special Operations (MSO), called the Spectrum Theme, will be offered exclusively on the new 750S supercars.

Perfecting the Spectrum Theme required the development of new techniques that introduce a new-generation of paint specialism, offering customers something truly unique and ground-breaking. More technical than anything MSO has developed before, Spectrum Theme shares its philosophy with the far-reaching technical changes introduced on 750S. Separate shades of colour create a tonal shift defined by precision craftsmanship; to the naked eye, the close bunching of colours produces an illusion of light to dark within each individual stripe which in turn gives a sense of speed and acceleration, even when the 750S is stationary.

Spectrum will be presented in three variants – Spectrum Blue, Spectrum Grey and Spectrum Orange – with the colourways able to be combined with further MSO bespoke personalisation, including vibrantly coloured leather trim, a bespoke dedication plaque and extended visual carbon fibre door sills that feature hand-painted Spectrum graded effect MSO logos. Spectrum will also be available to be specified in unique colourways, designed and delivered by MSO. The shades in the colour-spectrum require formulation of new paints that blend just the right amount of light and dark tone to create a coherent shift in colour. There is no fixed formula, instead every Spectrum Theme demanding bespoke mixes of these blends to achieve the desired outcome.
