Hong Yeo was put in a situation that was as rare and unique as the car you see above. At the age of 34, straight out of school at the World College of Art in London, Yeo was tasked with building a one-off supercar for a client who came to McLaren wanting to build his own bespoke vehicle. Lucky for him, the client knew exactly what he wanted: a car that a superhero would drive on his off hours to the opera. Simple, right? We had the chance to talk to Yeo at the Quail, where McLaren unveiled the X-1 and find all the details of how the project came to be and what the experience was like. Here are our 8 Questions With McLaren X-1 Supercar Designer Hong Yeo.
