650S: Pricing and Options

[Zorbathegreek]

This price list was already in paperwork given to me when I bought a 650S. Originally specced and owned by McLaren.
It could be useful to someone when pricing up optional specs for buying or selling. 2015 MY. It s got most options except carbon P1 seats, carbon arch liners and rear MSO carbon diffuser. I m not sure what other options were available? Perhaps someone can help fill the gaps on what other options were available? The two alloy caps are rather on the steep side for what they actually are - should have been a standard offering for a £200K+ car.

Interesting info, thanks for posting.

That's a well spec'd 650S, and a costly exercise back in the day

Nice list. You're missing MSO carbon door inserts, carbon engine cover, and the track telemetry module. Also the Stealth exhaust and soft-close doors were rare options. Agree on the caps crazy money.

Car has carbon door inserts and even has carbon firewall top and b pillars. It has sports exhaust (Inconel) and soft close doors. I think the carbon door inserts were part of the interior upgrade options?

How can I check on the track telemetry module?

Imagine what it would take to mso a 750s up to that level

I only bought the car in March 2026. I didn’t really appreciate the cost of ‘extras’ specced when McLaren first owned it.

Was MSO an offering in 2014?

[650S]

Good question, I think mso were available back then, but the Service they provide today is a more polished marketing exercise. It has grown out of demand for special finishes.
The same thing happened at Porsche, special wishes was created for the client who wanted something a bit extra / different. Today they would not include a good colour range as standard spec, because they can get £ thousands extra for nice colours.

Great spec. Basically the works there.

Only potentially missing bits are the CF wing mirror arms, CF sill tops, CF bonnet, CF air vent bezels, CF instrument surround, CF wheel arch liners, CF wing louvres. But not sure if these were offered on the 650 or later on the 675.

MSO was around at the inception of McLaren Automotive as more of a skunkworks division for special projects and client requests. There are numerous 12C based projects out there.

and wiper scuttle cover trim....

[AMRicardo]

True there is the scuttle trim and wiper system cover.

[Zorbathegreek]

The 650S project is still ongoing.
Just bought OEM replacement carbon fibre bonnet badge and wheel centres as originals were looking a bit weathered after twelve years of use. Not cheap but staying true to the original specification is important to the project.

Love this, almost the same spec as mine down to the badges and wheel centres. Sheesh. Annoyingly missed out on some reasonably priced P1 seats and haven;t found them since.

It’s a project to restore to original factory spec but I’ll retain the ten spoke wheels and aftermarket smart-top roof module - both added by a previous owner. I had P1 seats in a 720S I sold earlier this year. I think ingress and egress would a challenge in the 650S due to the high sills versus the side bolsters of the P1 buckets.

At first I thought the roof module would be a bit if a gimmick, but it has a good practical side to it. Opening the roof when approaching the car does away with being a contortionist to get in. Makes entering the car so much easier.

I have the same module on my 570 and it is great being able to open/close the roof externally. Also allows you one touch using the internal button rather than having to sit and hold it
No idea why McLaren didn't fit it as standard.

Good consideration - mine is a Coupe so would definitely need to think about that, I just feel the seats could give a bit more hold on track so the carbon buckets would be perfect

I had a 981 boxster s which had the remote drop from factory (no one touch inside though which would have been nice) - and indeed it was brilliant, particularly when I didn't feel like having too much hassle getting in - and that was on a car that would have been much easier to access than the 650!
