British supercar maker McLaren is unveiling a bespoke Zenith Black 720S Coupe to mark the opening of Dubai International Motor Show 2017, running from Nov 14 to 18. The Zenith Black 720S coupe is most distinguishable by its special satin finish, offset by the gold-coloured alloy wheels and not to be forgotten—the genuine 24-carat gold engine heatshield! Interestingly, this car is inspired by the meaning and beauty of words: words once spoken by the New Zealand-born racing driver, Bruce McLaren who laid the foundation for the F1 racing team. Illustrated in gold detailing across the spoiler, a condensed version of the quote written in Arabic script reads “Life is measured in achievement, not in years alone”. Painted in Zenith Black and completed with special satin finish, the bespoke 720S coupe features gold-coloured alloy wheels, incorporated with the genuine 24-carat gold engine heatshield that has a gold-lined engine bay for optimum cooling. The car’s rear wing took 30 hours of craftsmanship to complete. As for under the hood, it retains the standard 4-litre, twin-turbo V8 powerplant and drivetrain of the previous McLaren F1 hypercar model. The touches of gold extend to the interiors as well, and there is also a dashboard-mounted plaque that terms the car a “1 of 1 MSO commission”.
