McLaren W1 and 750S Le Mans Set for First Public Appearance in the Americas
Car lovers in the Americas will soon get their first close-up look at some of McLaren's most exciting new supercars. The McLaren W1, 750S Le Mans, and a special 'States of Endurance' Artura Spider will all be on display at the Exotics on Broadway event during Monterey Car Week on Saturday, August 16.
'Monterey Car Week is always a special time for us to connect with our community,' said Nicolas Brown, President of McLaren, The Americas. 'We're thrilled to show the McLaren W1 to fans here for the first time. It's a supercar that embodies McLaren's Formula 1 spirit. Alongside the 750S Le Mans and Artura Spider, visitors will be able to see three incredible cars that reflect our racing heritage.'
McLaren W1: The Next Chapter in Performance
Unveiled globally in October 2024, the McLaren W1 is the successor to the legendary McLaren F1 and P1. It's the fastest-accelerating and fastest-lapping road-legal McLaren ever built, powered by a V8 hybrid engine producing 1,275PS – more than any other McLaren to date. It's quicker than the Speedtail to 300 km/h and three seconds faster per lap than the McLaren Senna on the company's test track.
750S Le Mans: Honoring a Racing Milestone
Also debuting in the Americas is the 750S Le Mans, marking 30 years since McLaren's famous 1995 victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Inspired by the winning #59 F1 GTR, it comes in Le Mans Grey or McLaren Orange, and features a roof scoop, LM wheels, and a McLaren Special Operations High Downforce Kit for improved aerodynamics and track performance.
States of Endurance: From Monterey to Miami
The event will also kick off 'States of Endurance,' a coast-to-coast tribute to McLaren's Le Mans victory. Three road cars – an Artura Spider and two 750S models – will travel from Monterey to Miami, covering a distance similar to the 24-hour race. Each car will sport a special wrap inspired by different times of day during endurance racing: day, dawn, and night.
Car enthusiasts attending Exotics on Broadway can expect to witness a rare gathering of McLaren's past, present, and future – all in one place.
