 [VIDEO] McLaren MP4-12C HS from Miami  McLaren MP4-12C HS from Miami Well here is something that is even new to us on the Team, a McLaren MP4-12C HS. Filmed by you-tuber "Jodito20", this customized MP4-12C is apparently a creation of the exclusive McLaren Special Operation Program launched back in July at the Pebble beach Concours d'Élégance. Jodito20 chatted with a valet at the collection in Miami who mentioned there was another HS edition on the grounds but it was out for testing. Enjoy the video clip after the jump and thanks to GTspirit for the tip!

| Great GT3 rendition but obviously hard to make the race car work on the street. The front bumper/aero looks more akin to monsory/ferrari/black series with seemingly unnecessary venting and more drag. I like that it comes down lower to the road with more pronounced splitters on each side. The horizontal line that cuts in the middle and flows through to the side vent is pretty cool. It seems like this setup would cut down on the approach angle, which would be fine with me. If it was less effective in cooling the air/water intercooler system that would not be good but it looks effective from this perspective. It certainly provides the look of the GT3 car. The front wheel arch vents we already know are not functional. The rear is exactly as I suspected. Two added vents on the sides. The black section in the middle is a nice design cue to the GT3 and the extended rear diffuser is very nice. I like the package but I doubt i would be willing to pay the extra coin. Given the fact that MSO quoted me over $5k USD for the carbon mirror stalks I can only imagine that these mods would increase the cost of the car by at least 50%. Cheers to the customer who made this happen! It is great to see and I am sure these will be more collectable. Makes you wonder what the aftermarket will put together for these cars.
