McLaren has revived the spirit of the golden age of motorsport with the recently unveiled 750S Le Mans edition. This limited-run supercar is to commemorate the 30th anniversary of McLaren's famous 1995 victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans when it shocked the racing world with an F1 GTR that was essentially a road-legal supercar.
Now, as we move back into 2025, McLaren is honoring that moment by launching a very limited and exclusive model - 50 will be made available globally, mixing heritage design features with today's performance capabilities.
Exterior Offers F1 GTR Vibes with Modern Appearance
Aesthetically, the 750S Le Mans shows its inspiration. Buyers can pick from two iconic colours; Le Mans Grey and McLaren Orange, both taken directly from McLaren's racing heritage.
The car also gets:
- An elevated carbon fiber rear wing inspired by the aero of the race-spec version.
- A larger front splitter that provides more downforce.
- A functional roof scoop that mimics the original F1 GTR's intake system.
- Unique five-spoke LM wheels featuring centre locks.
- Carbon-ceramic brakes and gold painted calipers for race-ready stopping power.
Designed improvements aren't all for show either - they provide better performance and cooling while paying homage to one of the most iconic racing victories of the 1990s.
Inside: Subtle Race Details, Premium McLaren Feel
When you get behind the wheel you are in an environment that is both minimalistic and luxurious. The interior features Carbon Black Alcantara, with accents of McLaren Orange or Dove Grey stitching, depending on the buyer's choice.
There are also Le Mans-specific details, such as:
- "Le Mans" branding debossed on the headrests and floor mats
- A dedication plate that has the edition number
- Optional carbon sill plates that carry the 1995 race circuit
- An optional track record plaque to show McLaren's 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 13th place in 1995
You can sense in every facet of the interior that you are piloting a piece of motorsport history-not just a supercar.
Performance: Still a 750S, Still Brutal
At the core of all that Le Mans-themed branding, it is still a McLaren 750S. In all that glory it will still have a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 740 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.
With the weight savings of this lightweight engineering and the tuning, 0-62 mph is just 2.8 seconds while the McLaren tops out at an impressive 206mph.
To help ensure you are planted to the ground, McLaren supplies it's Proactive Chassis Control III suspension, which actively oppresses unwanted pitch and dive like a race car but has addressed a conflict for livable road comfort.

Conclusion
Not to be mistaken for yet another mere special edition model, the McLaren 750S Le Mans is a moving tribute inspired by one of the biggest underdog wins in the history of racing. While it may not find its way into the hands of collectors, enthusiasts, or even the fans that recall what was once McLaren's 1995 Le Mans success story, this car is the closest any of us will ever get to owning that legacy... and not needing to sign up for a racing license.
