Here's Pacific Blue

^i think that p1 belongs to a player on some la baseball team. That gulf paint job is just amazing. It's an MSO I believe

The one I posted is "Pacific Blue."

The one you're thinking about belongs to C.J. Wilson of the Anaheim Angels. His MSO color is called Cereberus Pearl and it has a similar chameleon effect, except it also has orange and gold hues and less of that striking blue tone you see above.

Here's CJ's cereberus pearl:

Ahh okay I see the difference now. It was hard to tell the difference at first. Thanks for the clarification!

That Pacific Blue is simply amazing...

Apparently, these paint jobs cost around 20K...

 

[frank mucus]

Yeah, that price is crazy, but if I had money like that I prolly would spend it just to have something unique like that. I read that basically anything you ever want on your car you can through MSO as long as you've peppered angus for the amount it'll cost.

Here's an SLR Blue 12C which costed about $16k

Yeah, I saw that one looking up the prices... If you paying for a car that costs over a Million, what's 20k though

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Ehhhh, these McClaren's are alright.

That color-shift... 

Though for my P1, I'd probably get it in McLaren Orange or matte black...

Some amazing photos in your Flickr BTW.

That GTR .

I don't think anyone can make this car look bad. Except for that guy in China with a green, yellow, red, and blue P1.

675LT!

Thank you! Appreciate it.

Came in here to post info on the 675LT but I see you've already got that covered lol

Some stats about the 675LT via CarandDriver

The same twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-8 bolted between the 650S’s rear wheels is present here, but McLaren massaged it for an extra 25 horsepower and 16 lb-ft of torque. While the car’s name is drawn from its 675 metric power, we tabulate its might as 666 devilish horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. With less McLaren to haul around, the V-8 punches the 675LT to 62 mph in a claimed 2.9 seconds—0.1 quicker than McLaren’s stated time for the 650S—and on to a top speed of 205 mph. The LT uses the 650S’s seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, and power is still routed to the pavement through the rear wheels.

Might stop by the McLaren dealership this weekend to see if they're still housing a P1. Can't believe McLaren Newport Beach has delivered 13 P1's! Some epicness by them

^ What do you shoot with?

 

[yanky]

^ What do you shoot with?

Canon 6D. Do you shoot as well?

 

[Sinner]

 I enjoy taking photos on a very amateur level! 

I have a Nikon D7000.  

What's your glass of choice for most of your shoots?

 

[yanky]

I started off with a D3200 then went to a 6D. I don't have many options right now since I only have the 24-105 f/4 & 28 f/1.8 so I use both depending on the situation. I plan on getting the 17-40 f/4 & 70-200 f/2.8 when the time is right and make the 24-105 or 17-40 my go to lenses.

 

[Sinner]

I started with the D40, but kinda wanted to switch to Canon cuz the D40 body didn't have an autofocus motor... meaning I had to get lenses with an AF motor if I wanted to use AF.  One of those annoying issues.  I also liked Canon's cool grey lenses... LOL.  Ultimately I stuck with Nikon cuz I also had an 18-200 3.6-5.6 and didn't want to waste the lens.  Been pretty happy with the D7000, it must be said.

In terms of glass, in addition to the 18-200, I also have a 35 1.8, which I use a lot.  I REALLY want a 24-70 2.8, but it's $$$ and heavy as hell.  Can't really justify the investment right now!

I came in here after seeing all the alphanumeric in the preview.... I was expecting engine chatter... I is disappointed...

 

[Sinner]

Haha... sorry, got carried away...

According to Dave Eden of McLaren Automotive, the F1 XP GT will also be at Geneva!
