McLaren 750S Le Mans Limited Edition

In 1995, McLaren did something remarkable at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, winning at the first attempt with McLaren F1 GTR #59. It was a result that the company does not want to forget easily, so they have prepared a limited edition model that pays tribute to this success, the McLaren 750S Le Mans.

The 750S Le Mans is based on the 750S and only 50 units will be produced, as will the special editions based on the 650S and 720S. The lucky ones who will have the opportunity to own this car will be able to choose between Le Mans Gray and McLaren Orange body colors with LM badging on the sides. It is equipped with a High Downforce Kit carbon fiber package that includes a new front bumper splitter, a roof vent, a larger active rear spoiler and underwing vents at the rear, increasing downforce by 10 percent. There are also five-spoke LM wheels with a Stealth finish and brake calipers painted in F1 Gold with a red McLaren logo.

The cockpit is covered in Carbon Black Alcantara and Jet Black Soft Grain leather, while Le Mans badges are sewn into the headrests and floor mats. A unique plaque reminds you that this is a limited edition.

When it comes to the powertrain, McLaren has not changed anything. There is a mid-mounted 4.0-L biturbo V8 engine with 750 hp (552 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 7.2 seconds and 186 mph (300 km/h) in less than 20 seconds. The top speed that this two-seater can reach is 206 (332 km/h).

Ford is shutting down production of the Focus ST

The beginning of 2025 showed that Ford in Europe is not even close to getting out of the crisis that has been going on for a long time. The rapid transition to all-electric cars and the discontinuation of some models were a gamble. Everything started collapsing like a house of cards, and the latest information says that even the Focus ST will no longer be on offer.

Maybe this is a surprise for some, but let’s remember that Ford has already announced that the production of the Focus will end in November. However, no one could have expected that this could be the end for the sports version as well. How smart this move is remains to be seen, and anyone interested can order the latest examples in European Ford dealerships.

The current Ford Focus ST is powered by a 2.3-L Ecoboost four-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 280 hp and 420 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h.

Whether the American company will change its mind and introduce a successor in the near future is currently unknown.

Bentley Blower is back as Blower Jnr

Between 1927 and 1931, Bentley produced the 4½ Litre, which replaced the Bentley 3 Litre. Its racing variant, also known as the Bentley Blower, is now returning to the scene after more than nine decades as the Blower Jnr.

What is interesting about this car that will pay tribute to the icon of the automotive industry is that it will not be built by Bentley but by the British company Hedley Studios, formerly known as The Little Car Company. Although the company is engaged in the production of small classic cars, this will not be the first time it has built a racing classic, as it has so far produced small versions of the Bugatti Baby II and the Ferrari Testa Rossa J. Both of these cars were 75 percent the size of the original Type 35 and 250 Testa Rossa, but with the Blower Jnr, Hedley Studios will still stay closer to the original size (85 percent).

The design of the car accurately replicates the original with a steel frame, hand-crafted aluminum hood, springs and shock absorbers that correspond to the period when the Blower raced on the tracks. Other components are made of carbon fiber, while the interior is equipped with impregnated fabric similar to the original.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Bentley Blower is powered by a 4.5-liter supercharged engine, while the Blower Jnr will be all-electric and will have just over 20 hp. With a single battery charge, the car will travel up to 105 kilometers. The maximum speed in the UK and the European Union is limited to 72 km/h, and in the US to 40 km/h.

The car will be produced in just 349 units and each will cost around 90,000 pounds.
