MCLAREN 720S 570S MSO Seats

McLaren Special Operations (MSO) seats for the 720S and 570S typically involves looking for the ultra-lightweight carbon fibre racing seats. These are highly sought after because they drastically reduce weight and improve the cabin’s aesthetic with a “track-focused” look.

Types of MSO & Racing Seats

Depending on your preference for comfort versus weight savings, there are three primary tiers of seating found in these models:

• Super-Lightweight Carbon Fibre Racing Seats (Senna Seats): Originally debuted with the McLaren Senna, these are the most aggressive options. They are made of a single carbon fibre shell and are frequently retrofitted into 720S and 570S models.

• MSO Defined Carbon Fibre Racing Seats: These are the “standard” carbon bucket seats offered by MSO. They feature a fixed backrest and deep bolsters, usually finished in Alcantara or leather with contrast stitching.

• Sports Seats: These are the electrically adjustable, heated memory seats. While comfortable, they do not carry the “MSO Racing” pedigree and are significantly heavier than the carbon shells.

Buying & Fitment Intelligence

If you are sourcing these seats as a retrofit, keep the following technical details in mind:

• Interchangeability: Seats from the 570S, 600LT, 720S, and 765LT are largely interchangeable in terms of mounting points. However, the wiring harnesses for seat heating and electronic adjustment differ between the “Comfort” and “Racing” versions.

• Weight Savings: Swapping from standard electric seats to MSO Carbon Racing seats can save approximately 15kg to 25kg total.

• MSO Branding: Authentic MSO seats often feature the MSO logo embroidered on the headrest or a dedicated MSO plaque on the seat base.
