Lazante is a British automotive engineering specialist, who designs and crafts road and track automobiles for the most discerning car collectors and enthusiasts, and one of their cars is up for auction. It’s the 2020 McLaren Senna GTR ‘LM 25’ produced in honor of the McLaren F1 GTR and its famous victory at Le Mans in 1995.
The Senna GTR ‘LM 25’ was produced in just seven examples, each based on a different model or body style, making them unique. Each model is finished in the contrasting dark gray livery worn by the Tokyo Ueno Clinic F1 GTR at Le Mans combined with extensive carbon fiber visuals. There are lightweight forged aluminum and carbon fiber wheels with five spokes, fitted by a center-lock mechanism complemented by gold brake callipers featuring red McLaren lettering. It is equipped with ‘LM 25’ decals and Tokyo Ueno Clinic sponsor branding tucked behind its dihedral-opening doors on the outer carbon fiber monocoque tube.
Inside, the carbon fiber-backed seats are similar to those in the F1 GTR model with ‘LM 25’ logos on the headrest. There are also blue Willans race harnesses (used in the race car), drilled gold pedals, carbon fiber steering wheel with paddle-shift levers, and various other subtle references to the 1995 win, including a faithful rendition of the scrutineering decal on the rear bulkhead.
The McLaren Senna GTR ‘LM 25’ is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-L V-8 engine with 814 hp (607 kW). The same engine powered the F1 GTR, but this limited edition is 41 kg lighter than the original, which is achieved by using lightweight materials.
Since 2020 when it was converted by Lanzante, the car has changed several owners who have not driven it often even though it is road legal. In September 2023, when the service was performed and four tires were replaced, the odometer showed only 1,731 km. It should be noted that in 2023, this car appeared at the London Concours and took the overall winner’s prize on the event’s Supercar Award.
When it comes to price, the car is estimated at €1,400,000 – €1,600,000 EUR. Senna GTR ‘LM 25’ comes with folders containing paperwork and a flight case that includes driver and passenger intercom headsets, and centre-lock wheel removal tool.
