A Rare Homage to Motorsport Glory
In a stirring celebration of endurance racing supremacy, McLaren Automotive has unveiled the 750S Le Mans Edition, a masterpiece that honors three decades since the brand’s awe-inspiring debut victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Strictly limited to 50 examples globally, this edition fuses heritage-infused styling, track-tested engineering, and the unmistakable performance DNA of one of motorsport’s most revered manufacturers.
With design inspiration directly drawn from the 1995 McLaren F1 GTR #59, the 750S Le Mans Edition is more than a commemorative model it’s a rolling sculpture of speed and history, enhanced by McLaren Special Operations’ (MSO) High Downforce Kit (HDK). This is not merely a car; it’s a collectible artifact with a modern soul and a racing heart.
Power and Precision: The Beating Heart of the 750S Le Mans
At the core of this racing-inspired machine lies the M840T 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which produces a staggering 740 PS (730 bhp) and 800 Nm of torque. Mid-mounted within a lightweight carbon fiber Mono cage II chassis, this powerplant propels the 750S from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, reaffirming its position among the world’s elite supercars.
The engine is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, calibrated for razor-sharp responsiveness. Coupled with launch control, electronic stability settings, and variable drift control, the 750S Le Mans Edition offers a driving experience that is as engaging as it is electrifying.
Exclusive Aerodynamic Enhancements: HDK in Focus
McLaren’s MSO High Downforce Kit elevates this model from elite to extraordinary. The kit includes:
-
Gloss Black Active Rear Spoiler delivering aerodynamic balance and high-speed stability
-
Extended Carbon Fibre Front Splitter that channels airflow more effectively
-
Under-wing Gloss Black Louvres to reduce turbulence and increase downforce
-
Optimized Diffuser Channels which further enhance aerodynamic grip
These enhancements generate 10% more downforce than the standard 750S, translating to more control, higher cornering speeds, and a deeply visceral connection between driver and tarmac.
Striking Exterior: A Design that Demands Attention
The 750S Le Mans Edition is finished in Le Mans Grey, a subtle yet potent nod to the F1 GTR’s race livery. For purists and performance aficionados, McLaren Orange is also available, referencing the brand’s iconic racing colors.
Every exterior element has been thoughtfully curated:
-
Five-Spoke LM Wheels, forged and lightweight, echoing the original F1 GTR’s wheels
-
F1 Gold Brake Calipers adorned with red McLaren logos—an unmistakable mark of excellence
-
Gloss Black Carbon Fibre Roof Scoop, drawing air into the engine bay and amplifying the car’s silhouette
-
Red and Blue Wheel Center Caps, symbolizing McLaren’s race-winning legacy
-
Discreet Le Mans Branding on the door sills and rear panel
Each detail reinforces the connection between this edition and its 1995 predecessor, without compromising the modern ethos of McLaren’s design philosophy.
Cabin Craftsmanship: Racing Heritage Meets Contemporary Luxury
Step inside the 750S Le Mans Edition, and you’re enveloped in a cockpit where form meets function, wrapped in luxury and motorsport flair. Two interior themes are offered:
-
Carbon Black Alcantara with Dove Grey Accents
-
Carbon Black Alcantara with McLaren Orange Accents
Both interiors are accented with soft grain Leather, contrast stitching, and laser etched Le Mans debossed headrests. The race-inspired ambiance continues with carbon fiber trim elements, brushed aluminum controls, and a dedicated 1-of-50 build plaque ensuring authenticity and exclusivity.
An optional track record plate etched with McLaren’s 1995 Le Mans victory time and Triple Crown status further elevates the emotional resonance of each model.
Dynamic Engineering: Built to Dominate Track and Tarmac
Performance is where the 750S Le Mans truly excels. It’s not just engineered for speed, but for surgical precision. The Proactive Chassis Control III suspension system, developed from Formula 1 telemetry, gives drivers the ability to extract every ounce of the car’s capability.
With reduced unsprang mass, a wider front track, and lightweight suspension components, the 750S Le Mans responds with agility and composure even under the most demanding conditions. The steering is hydraulic—delivering unparalleled feedback and Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo R tyres ensure grip that inspires confidence at every turn.
Commemorative Legacy: 1995 and Beyond
The 1995 Le Mans victory was not just a win—it was a declaration. The McLaren F1 GTR, driven by JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas, and Masanori Sekiya, stunned the world by clinching the top podium in its first attempt. It wasn’t just a triumph for McLaren—it was a seismic moment in motorsport history.
Henrik Wilhelms Meyer, McLaren’s Chief Commercial Officer, underscores this momentous legacy:
“This exclusive 750S is the first Le Mans edition since the F1 LM to feature HDK enhancements. It embodies not only a storied past but an exhilarating future as we return to the top class of Le Mans in 2027.”
The 750S Le Mans Edition is not just a tribute to the past—it is a herald of future victories, a signal that McLaren’s competitive spirit remains undimmed.
An Investment in Performance and Prestige
With only 50 units worldwide, the 750S Le Mans is a rare and prestigious acquisition. Each one is a passport to a private circle of collectors, drivers, and connoisseurs who recognize not just performance, but pedigree. Whether displayed in a private garage or unleashed on the track, this edition is built to astonish.
From the MSO-crafted aerodynamic sculpting to the historically resonant design elements, the 750S Le Mans Edition is the ultimate expression of racing reverence fused with cutting-edge engineering. It is the car that bridges three decades of glory with the promise of a thrilling tomorrow.
