The P1 design study for a modern day F1 may be all the talk these days, but McLaren has another new model up its sleeves, one that will be unveiled during the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend. The new car is the limited run MP4-12C "SGP Edition", of which only three examples will be built, each carrying a price tag of S$1.28 million or about US$1.05 million / €800,000. While that may sound like a lot of cash, the folks over at TeamSpeed reported that two cars have already been spoken for leaving only one up for grabs. From the very few details and the single picture we have of the MP4-12C "SGP Edition", we know that it was designed and built by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), which is the same division responsible for the creation of the one-off X-1 supercar. The special edition models appears to sport a similar two-tone black and red color theme to the Vodafone-McLaren Mercedes F1 racer and a different set of wheels, and possibly, a new front lip spoiler.

Even the MP4-12C looks amazing to my eyes now... after seeing the last two creatures Macca showed us...
The color scheme looks very much like the old Davidoff-sponsored McLaren F1 car that raced at Le Mans. Seems like McLaren is following the playbook of Bugatti. Make lots of different limited editions while the novelty still exists.
