McLaren Announces Limited-Run Tribute to 1995 Le Mans Winning F1 GTR

The 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans marked the McLaren F1 GTR’s debut at the legendary endurance race, and in not very debutant fashion, it took four of the top five spots, including the overall victory. It was a historic performance for what has become one of the most iconic and valuable cars in history, and you’d better bet McLaren want to remember it.

In 2015, they released the 650S LM, a limited run of 50 cars in aptly named Sarthe Grey with Le Mans Edition lightweight wheels, made to resemble those of the F1 GTR. In 2020 came the 720S LM which I’d say has become a little forgotten for whatever reason, despite again being limited to 50 units worldwide. 10 years later, for the 30th anniversary of that famous victory, it’s the 750S that has received the LM treatment.

If previous LM models were turned up to 11, the 750S LM is more of an 11.5 with a High Downforce Kit from MSO bringing F1 GTR vibes with a fixed rear spoiler and bigger front splitter to give an extra 10% downforce over the standard 750S. Once again we have nostalgic touches like the simple five-spoke wheels and Le Mans Grey paint from the 1995-winning #59 car. McLaren Orange is also available and looks amazing, reminiscent of the F1 LM.

You also get a roof scoop, F1 Gold brake calipers, titanium exhaust tip, carbon louvres in the front wings and painted Le Mans branding. Optional, as ever, is all the visual carbon fibre you could wish for and a track brake upgrade.

Like the 650 and 720 before it, just 50 750S LMs will be produced worldwide. With 650S and 720S LM models trading at a premium when they rarely come up for sale, it’s safe to expect the same of the 750S LM, especially given McLaren has gone further to differentiate this from the standard car.

McLaren’s Chief Commercial Officer, Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, said, “The 750S Le Mans marks not just 30 years since our debut victory in the iconic race but an exciting time for the brand with McLaren GT3 EVO cars competing in this year’s race and the announcement of our return to the top, Hypercar class in 2027”.
