McLaren 750S Triple Crown Limited Edition

This year, McLaren celebrates six decades of existence, and the company decided to present a special edition of the car, the McLaren 750S Triple Crown. With this car, McLaren celebrates victories at three of the most famous races in the world, the Indy 500, the Monaco GP and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

For this project, with the plate “3-7-59”, McLaren Special Operations used more than 20 colors. The front part recalls the McLaren Formula 1 MP4/2 car with number 7 with which Alain Prost was most successful in the 1984 Grand Prix race in Monte Carlo (Monaco), while the color combination on the rear part celebrates the M16D car with starting number 3 with which Johnny Rutherford won the American Indy 500 race in 1974. The middle part of the car celebrates the McLaren F1 GTR with starting number 59, with which Yannick Dalmas, Masanori Sekiya and JJ Lehto won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995.

Inside, the bucket seats are trimmed in Alcantara while the headrests feature a logo that represents the “Triple Crown.” Alcantara covers the door panels and the dashboard.

The car will be produced in only 6 copies, and the company said that all copies have already been sold. It is powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine making 750 hp (560 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph).

McLaren is returning to the WEC with the 720S GT3 Evo

Although earlier rumors said that McLaren is returning to the strongest class of the WEC, this will not happen. The British company announces that it will return to the most famous endurance races from 2024 with two 720S GT3 Evo cars but in LMGT3.

Both cars will be in the colors of the British team United Autosports, in which they have been successfully racing for years in the LMP2 class, which will no longer be present in the World Endurance Championship from next season. Thus, only the Hypercar and LMGT3 classes remain.

With the return to the World Endurance Championship in which they competed with the F1 GTR model in the LMGT1 class from 1995 to 1998, McLaren focused their special attention on the biggest race of today (24 Hours of Le Mans) in which in 1995 they were first in the general standings, and two years later first in the LMGT1 class with only a lap behind the LMP prototype TWR Porsche WSC-95.

Also, a few days ago, Aston Martin announced that it will participate in the FIA WEC (World Endurance Championship) and the IMSA Championship in the most powerful Hypercar class from the 2025 season, with a prototype based on the Aston Martin Valkyrie.

The car will be adapted to the rules of the Hypercar class (LMH – Le Mans Hypercar) and will have slightly less horsepower than the current endurance-focused Aston Martin Valkyrie. The Valkyrie is powered by a Cosworth 6.5L naturally-aspirated V12 engine assisted by an electric motor totaling 1,160 hp (865 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed Ricardo single-clutch automated manual transmission. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 402 km/h (250 mph).

McLaren GT limited edition

The British car manufacturer McLaren presented the McLaren GT limited edition but only for the domestic market. Only 8 examples will be produced and will be offered in four body colors that have graced some of the best McLaren supercars.

McLaren will produce two examples of each in four different body colors: Cerulean Blue which was the original color of the P1 supercar, XP Green adorned the prototype F1 road car, Sargian Quartz was on the SpeedTail XP model and Cyber Yellow a new shade based on the existing Volcano Yellow . All cars will be equipped with the MSO Black Pack package, which includes gloss black side mirror housings, tailpipe trims and a few other details, while the roof and rims are the same color as the body.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black brown leather with brown stitching and the MSO logo on the headrests. The same combination covers the door panels, while the dashboard is covered in black leather. The Union Jack flag is embossed into the armrest and key fob. Customers will be able to choose the interior in black leather with blue stitching.

When it comes to the powertrain, McLaren hasn’t said anything. Presumably unchanged, the limited edition will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine with 620 hp (456 kW) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission.
