With the replacement for the 650S, McLaren has made a significant styling change at the front end, moving away from designs around the headlights which reflect their badge and going for a far simpler, more aggressive approach, aerodynamics trumping aesthetics to a degree. Another interesting feature is a narrow valley which runs all around waist of the car which gradually deepens to incorporate engine air intakes. We can also see a few nods to the F1 road car of the 1990s, with triangular vent panels on the sides and a familiar roof line. That roof is largely covered in dark smoked panels, flanked with very subtle carbon framing and what really grabs the eye more than anything is the colour, a candy red/orange shade which McLaren calls ‘Azores’ and which really pops under bright light.....

Chassis. 4860 was built for German Lamborghini importer Hubert Hahne of Dusseldorf. The car was actually a Miura SV that was converted into SVJ specs by the factory in late 1972, it was re-delivered to Mr Hahne in April 1973 and was officially denoted as the fifth, and last 'original' Miura SVJ built.Te car was originally finished in black over white leather with black cloth, but in 1977 it was repainted in the current silver metallic at the factory, and received a full-leather interior in black and it is in this form that we see it beautifully reproduced by Eidolon in the immaculate style which typified Japanese hand built model production. ....
