Limited to 50 units celebrating McLaren's 1995 Le Mans victory Features MSO High Downforce Kit and carbon fibre roof scoop Powered by 750PS twin-turbo V8 with Proactive Chassis Control III Interior includes Le Mans branding, Alcantara trim, and optional commemorative plaques Exclusive LM wheels, F1 Gold brake calipers, and special aero upgrades included While we eagerly await the McLaren 'LT' version of the already mental 750S supercar, the brand has released a hardcore 'Le Mans' edition to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1995 race win at the famed circuit on June 18th. JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas and Masanori Sekiya were behind the wheel of a 1995 McLaren F1 GTR #59 when the team claimed victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans on their first appearance as a constructor in the world-famous race. Now, there's a car to celebrate with the release of 50 limited edition McLaren 750S 'Le Mans Edition' models that add a new MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK), roof scoop, unique 5-spoke LM wheels, carbon fibre Monocage II central structure and Proactive Chassis Control III suspension to make this the lightest and most agile car in its class. With the LM-style wheels and paint to match the #59 F1 GTR Le Mans exterior in Grey (McLaren Orange also available), this will be a very desirable model for collectors. They'll also get plenty of Le Mans logos and that multi-award-winning 750S performance, highlighted by the mid-mounted, 750PS 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 McLaren engine. Let's take a closer look!

That's right, you have a choice of two Le Mans interior themes in either Carbon Black Alcantara with Jet Black Softgrain Leather and Dove Grey Alcantara or Carbon Black Alcantara with Jet Black Softgrain Leather and McLaren Orange Alcantara. That's complemented by Le Mans debossed headrests, branded floormats, and a bespoke Le Mans dedication plaque. Heck, you can even double-down on the plaques and choose to add a plaque into the front luggage compartment that lists the 1995 Le Mans victory with the other Triple Crown achievements in the Indianapolis 500 and Monaco Grand Prix. This option is available to all new 750S cars.

While it looks like a fixed wing at first glance, the raised carbon fibre Active Rear Spoiler with integral endplates is indeed active. It works with a front bumper that features an enlarged carbon fibre splitter and rear wing to increase downforce by 10 per cent compared to the standard 750S. Other additions to the exterior of the McLaren 750S Le Mans Edition include: High Downforce Kit (HDK) 5-spoke Le Mans wheel with Stealth finish and Le Mans branding F1 Gold Special Colour Brake Calipers with red McLaren logo Wheel Centre Caps with blue/red colour detail Gloss Black Carbon Fibre Roof Scoop Carbon Fibre Front Fenders with Gloss Black Louvres Gloss Black exterior details Natural Titanium Exhaust Finisher Painted Le Mans exterior branding McLaren 750S Le Mans Edition | Image: Supplied / McLaren Completing the HDK package is a new body-coloured carbon fibre under-wing panel featuring gloss black louvres. However, you can also choose a handful of exterior option packs, which we've outlined below: Exterior Details in Gloss Visual Carbon Fibre Gloss Visual Carbon Fibre HDK and Underbody pack (Front Splitter, Rear Diffuser, Active Spoiler) Gloss Visual Carbon Fibre Raised Active Rear Spoiler only Gloss Visual Carbon Fibre Louvre pack (Front Fender Louvres, Rear Under-Wing Panel Louvres) Gloss Visual Carbon Fibre Roof Scoop Outer Track Brake Upgrade incorporating F1 Gold Special Colour Brake Calipers with red McLaren logo '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,' said Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, Chief Commercial Officer, McLaren Automotive. 'This exclusive 750S is the first McLaren Le Mans edition since the F1 LM to feature HDK aerodynamic enhancements and is set to become one of our most sought-after supercars, with previous Le Mans editions of the 650S and 720S commanding a premium over standard models.' Pricing for the McLaren 750S Le Mans hasn't been shared by the brand, but if you haven't received a phone call to purchase the car already, then you've likely missed out. The standard McLaren 750S is priced from AUD$580,163 plus on-road costs in Australia.
