McLaren Unveils 750S Le Mans Edition to Celebrate Iconic 1995 Victory
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector
McLaren is channeling its motorsport legacy into a rare road-going tribute with the release of the 750S Le Mans, a limited-run supercar celebrating the marque's historic victory at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. Just 50 examples will be built, marking three decades since McLaren's race debut and unprecedented win with the now-legendary No. 59 McLaren F1 GTR.
In its first-ever entry into the endurance race, McLaren clinched first place and filled four of the top five spots—a feat still regarded as one of the most iconic moments in Le Mans history. The special edition 750S draws inspiration directly from the victorious No. 59, notably offered in Le Mans Grey, the same livery worn by the winning car.
Exclusive design cues on the 750S Le Mans include a functional roof scoop, the HDK (High Downforce Kit) with carbon fiber aerodynamic enhancements, and bespoke five-spoke LM wheels, nodding to the F1 GTR's original design. Gold brake calipers, titanium exhaust tips, and Le Mans badging further distinguish the edition, along with optional plaques celebrating McLaren's rare achievement of motorsport's Triple Crown—wins at Le Mans, the Indy 500, and the Monaco Grand Prix.
While aesthetically steeped in nostalgia, performance is cutting-edge. The 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 produces 740 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, rocketing the car from 0 to 62 mph in under 2.8 seconds and up to a top speed of 206 mph. Power is channeled through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, while carbon-ceramic brakes provide stopping power equal to its straight-line force.
In addition to honoring its 1995 triumph, McLaren says the 750S Le Mans also nods to its present-day GT3 EVO efforts and upcoming return to the top-tier Le Mans Hypercar class in 2027.
With demand expected to be as intense as the race it celebrates, the 750S Le Mans is a collector-grade tribute to McLaren's legacy—past, present, and future.

Ravens expect big things from a 3rd-year pass rusher and a centerpiece of their defense
Ravens expect big things from a 3rd-year pass rusher and a centerpiece of their defense While talking to reporters after practice, Baltimore defensive line coach Chuck Smith called Tavius Robinson one of "the centerpieces" of the Ravens' defense. Back in March, John Harbaugh made it clear that the Ravens could be an outstanding team if they had to play a game today, but Baltimore still has holes at key positions. The Ravens had the second-most sacks in the league last season (54) and two players in double digits (Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh). They wanted to upgrade the pass rush and landed Marshall's Mike Green in round two after he slid out of the first round. Still, Baltimore has all of its outside linebackers returning, led by Van Noy and Oweh, and young players at the position, including Tavius Robinson and last year's third-round pick Adisa Isaac. Robinson has diligently grown as a player, and on Wednesday, following OTA No. 9, the former Ole Miss star was highly praised by Ravens defensive line coach Chuck Smith. While talking to reporters after practice, Smith called Robinson one of "the centerpieces" of the Ravens' defense. The former Ole Miss pass rusher had 32 tackles (13 solo), including 3.5 sacks, one pass defensed, and 12 QB hits in 17 games last season. The 2023 fourth-round pick out of Ole Miss spent the first half of the season in a rotational role at edge rusher, but he did start in the final six regular-season games. Robinson will likely serve as the Ravens' primary backup edge rusher for the 2025 campaign behind Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh, while potentially sliding inside to defensive end in key schemes that feature Mike Green off the edge.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, 'Mr. October' linked up at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is known as one of the NFL's foremost baseball aficionados, and got to meet one of the best players in MLB history on Tuesday night. While the Kansas City Royals were systematically dismantled by the New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium, Mahomes took an opportunity to get a picture with 'Mr. October' — Reggie Jackson. Jackson, who spent the first year of his MLB career with the then-Kansas City Athletics (in 1967, before the A's moved to Oakland in 1968), commemorated his encounter with Mahomes in a post to his official Twitter account on June 10: Though Jackson seems to have been rooting for the Yankees, Mahomes could be seen beaming with pride next to the legendary slugger, who won a total of five World Series championships during his illustrious 21-year career in Major League Baseball. Jackson's No. 44 and No. 9 jerseys are retired by the Yankees and Athletics, respectively.
