McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the bespoke personalisation division of McLaren Automotive, has delivered a unique McLaren Artura Spider in Dubai. The MSO Artura Spider ‘Geo-Hex’ commission showcases unique paint and personalisation options, created exclusively for a long-standing and valued member of the McLaren Dubai community.
Realising a vision where elegance meets bold expression, the extraordinary specification of this Artura Spider blends two vibrant paints from the McLaren palette. The Tokyo Pearl and Papaya Spark colours blend into a striking, uncompromising design.
The design is an evolution of the striking ‘Dyad’ paint theme developed by MSO for the McLaren 765LT. It draws inspiration from the unmistakable hexagonal geometry that makes up the molecular structure of carbon fibre; an unmistakeable part of McLaren’s DNA that permeates through McLaren’s racing heritage and through to its lightweight supercars.
The intricate colour transition from one side to the other demonstrates the MSO velocity fade technique, which expertly blends two alternate colours on the same car design. The Papaya Spark and Tokyo Pearl body colours were specified by the customer in a personalisation session with MSO’s designers. Such strong contrasting colours as these would not blend using regular techniques, so after extensive development and testing, MSO’s automotive artisans created this theme especially for the customer using a fragmented hex offset design.
The theme continues to the interior, with flourishes including the two-tone Alcantara doors and steering wheel, and even down to details such as the brake callipers, which boast the two contrasting colours on each side of the car for a highly distinctive finish.
“Every delivery of a truly one-of-one supercar from McLaren Special Operations to a satisfied customer is a milestone for us all at McLaren Middle East, Africa & India, and this is certainly no exception. Built through a close partnership with the MSO team, this Artura isn’t just a symbol of performance, but also a reminder that personalisation has no limits when you bring imagination to the table. We’re proud to have worked alongside the client on a project that redefines bespoke, and I look forward to seeing more of these rare McLaren supercars from MSO on the roads of Dubai and beyond.”

Commenting on their unique new McLaren Artura Spider ‘Geo-Hex’, the commissioning client praised the exceptional design prowess and craftsmanship of the MSO team: “I’d like to say a big thanks to the legends at MSO and the superheroes at McLaren Dubai. What originally started out as ‘just a little customisation’ turned into a full-blown art project, and the talented MSO team were with me every step of the way, turning my vision for the perfect Artura into breathtaking reality. I couldn’t be happier with the result!”
