The New McLaren Supercar Is an Ode to Its Historic 1995 Win at Le Mans

Thirty years ago, McLaren won the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a version of its F1 in what was the automaker’s first appearance at the historic race. And it’s still celebrating, with a just-unveiled version of its 750S.

McLaren released a special-edition version of its 720S in 2020 to honor its 1995 win at Le Mans, and the new 750S Le Mans is in a similar style. The new launch comes in Le Mans Grey or McLaren Orange, along with the buyer’s choice of Carbon Black and Dove Grey interiors or Carbon Black and McLaren Orange. The five-spoke wheels are also unique, the marque says, as is the roof scoop and various Le Mans branding across the car.

Most obviously, the rear spoiler is raised for “visual drama,” though, along with the modified carbon fiber splitter, McLaren says that downforce is increased by 10 percent more than the regular 750S. The 750S Le Mans is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine like prior 750Ss; the Spider version was Robb Report‘s 2025 Car of the Year.

“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,” Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, McLaren’s chief commercial officer, said in a statement.

If it seems a bit overkill to be still celebrating the 1995 Le Mans win even after prior special editions, that explains just how big of a deal it was for McLaren at the time. The 1995 win almost instantly made the F1 a legendary car, and it also gave the marque the distinction of being the only team to win the Triple Crown of Motorsports. That includes wins at the Indianapolis 500 (three times in the 1970s), Monaco (16 times), and Le Mans (once).

Should you be interested in this slice of history, McLaren said it will make just 50 examples of the 750S Le Mans. It also did not reveal pricing, though it is very likely upwards of $400,000, given that the base 750S starts at around $320,000, and options quickly add to that cost. For enthusiasts of the marque and especially those who remember the 1995 win, it won’t seem like much.
