Today on Drive Wire, *The Drive* checks out the special supercar McLaren will show off at the Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance later this week: [the McLaren 570GT by MSO Concept](<https://cars.mclaren.com/MSO>). Based on [the grand touring version of the carmaker's entry-level car, the 570GT by MSO](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/3694/the-mclaren-570gt-goes-hardcore-softly>) receives an understated black-and-white paint job, a hefty portion of glossy carbon-fiber trim pieces, and a potent Bowers and Wilkins stereo. But the most notable difference of the car: a roof perfect for California cruising. What makes this McLaren's top so special? Check out the video to find out.
