OnePlus has associated itself with a number of big-name brands in the past to market special editions of its smartphones. We've seen brands like Disney and Marvel team up to launch the Star Wars edition OnePlus 5T and the Avengers edition OnePlus 6.

Things are a little different this time around with the OnePlus 6T though. Instead of joining hands with an entertainment label, OnePlus is partnering with British sports carmaker and racing giants McLaren to give more heed to its marketing motto of "Unlock the Speed".

According to a report by MySmartPrice, the new McLaren edition of the OnePlus 6T won't just be an ordinary high-end variant, but one with a whopping 10 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage.

As per the report, the McLaren edition OnePlus 6T will be made official on 11 December, at an event in London, followed by a launch in Mumbai on 12 December. The company has even set up a special microsite paying homage to McLaren and its motorsport history.

As far as other specifications of the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition go, things are expected to remain the same, barring the design of course. There haven't been any leaked renders so far for us to get an idea of how different the phone will look, but we will likely find out soon enough.
