McLaren X-1 Might Be Strangest Looking Supercar Yet, These Videos Show Why
First unveiled at Pebble Beach in 2012, the McLaren X-1 is a one-off sports car based on the McLaren 12C and built by McLaren Special Operations (MSO). This was built specially for a McLaren customer who already owns a McLaren F1, a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and a McLaren 12C. According to Paul MacKenzie, MSO Programme Director, the X-1 has been developed for the past three years. To style the X-1, McLaren used ideas from a 1961 Facel Vega, a 1953 Chrysler D’Elegance Ghia, a 1959 Buick Electra, a 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K and a 1971 Citroen SM.
