Plum Crazy: This One-Off McLaren 570S Is Violetly Purple - Car and Driver (blog)

Purple is just one of those colors, a hue that rarely looks natural on any vehicle that’s not an early 1990s American automotive product. Got a purple Ford Festiva. Now how about the McLaren 570S. You know what, let’s paint the picture with a richer set of colors, shall we. How about a purple McLaren 570S on the preternaturally green lawns of Pebble Beach. From the sound of things, the 570S’s 562-hp twin-turbo V-8 goes unchanged, so it moves this McLaren through the atmosphere about the same as it would a 570S in any other color, albeit with more embarrassment. The special 570S Barney Edition will be joined on the lawns of Pebble Beach this coming weekend by a second 570S wearing a more McLaren-appropriate orange paint job and a bunch of typical MSO body accessories. Unlikely, and that’s exactly why this preposterously purple McLaren should prove quite successful for MSO. Source: blog.caranddriver.com
