McLaren Unveils Ultra-Rare 750S Le Mans Edition to Honor 1995 Racing Triumph
McLaren Automotive is marking the 30th anniversary of its legendary Le Mans victory with a highly exclusive tribute: a limited-edition 750S coupe, designed to honor the marque's 1995 debut triumph at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Just 50 units will be built globally, making it a rare and instantly collectible model.
The bespoke 750S variant has been outfitted with McLaren Special Operations' (MSO) High Downforce Kit (HDK), a suite of aerodynamic upgrades developed to elevate both visual aggression and track performance. The enhancements include a larger front splitter, an elevated carbon-fiber rear spoiler with integrated end plates, and new louvered panels crafted in gloss black carbon fiber. Together, the aerodynamic additions boost downforce by approximately 10%.
Aesthetically, the car draws direct inspiration from the McLaren F1 GTR that clinched overall victory at Le Mans on June 18, 1995. That year, the #59 car, piloted by JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas, and Masanori Sekiya, stunned the motorsport world by winning the grueling endurance race on McLaren's first outing as a constructor. Three other McLaren F1 GTRs finished in the top five that year.
The special-edition 750S will be offered in only two paint finishes—McLaren Orange and Le Mans Grey. Inside, customers can choose between Carbon Black and Dove Grey Alcantara upholstery, accented with McLaren Orange or Dove Grey highlights. Unique branding throughout the cabin includes custom headrests, floor mats, and a commemorative dashboard plaque.
Owners will have access to a curated list of high-end customization options, many in gloss carbon fiber, including mirror caps, hood vents, side intakes, and underbody components such as diffusers and splitters.
Mechanically, the limited-run model remains faithful to the standard 750S formula, powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 740 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the powertrain launches the car from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.8 seconds.
As McLaren eyes a return to Le Mans in 2027, this 750S Le Mans Edition offers a striking homage to its motorsport legacy while reinforcing its ongoing commitment to performance and exclusivity.

Novak Djokovic among investors to buy a stake in second-tier French soccer club Le Mans
LE MANS, France — Novak Djokovic is part of a group of investors who have bought a stake in French second-tier soccer team Le Mans, along with ex-Formula 1 drivers Felipe Massa and Kevin Magnussen. Le Mans said in a statement that they join other new financial investors into the club, including Latin American sports investment firm OutField and Georgios Frangulis, the founder and chief executive of OakBerry. Frangulis is the boyfriend of three-time women's Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka. 'The uniqueness of this fund also lies in its contribution from high-level athletes,' Le Mans president Thierry Gomez said in the statement. 'Novak Djokovic, Felipe Massa, and Kevin Magnussen will be part of the adventure.' No financial details were given. Djokovic is the owner of a men's record 24 Grand Slam titles in tennis. The 38-year-old Serb has won 100 career titles overall. Massa won 11 races and secured 41 podiums in his F1 career. When driving for Ferrari, the popular Brazilian was within a whisker of winning the 2008 title, only for Lewis Hamilton to beat him in a dramatic finish at the last race. Hamilton won the title by 98 points to 97. The 32-year-old Magnussen drove close to 200 races in F1, securing one podium and one pole position. But the Danish driver was not retained by Haas when his contract expired. Le Mans soccer club, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, begins its league campaign on Aug. 9. Le Mans — a small city in northwestern France — also hosts the famed 24-hour endurance car race.

F1 Hungarian GP: Lando Norris tops FP2 ahead of Oscar Piastri
Lando Norris closed out Friday's Formula 1 practice sessions with the fastest time in FP2, finishing the session 0.291s ahead of McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri. The Briton led the times after the opening set of exploratory runs on medium tyres, setting a benchmark of a 1m16.525s on the C4 tyre – a lap that chiselled Piastri off the top of the standings by over 0.15s. After Norris set that lap, the field made the customary mid-session switch to soft tyres, and Norris' time then fell to Aston Martin's Lance Stroll as the Canadian dug out 0.3s in hand over the McLaren driver with the C5s. Piastri then uncovered even more time and crossed the 1m16s barrier, setting a 1m15.915s, but Norris once again upstaged his championship-leading team-mate to clock a 1m15.624s and go fastest. In attempting another tour on the softs, Piastri had a wide moment on the exit of Turn 7, effectively cementing the order up front. The two McLarens almost had a moment at Turn 1, where Norris locked up exiting the pits as Piastri steamed around the outside. Lance Stroll, Aston Martin Racing The field then switched to race runs with all three grades of tyre represented, locking in the top two and the pair was joined by Charles Leclerc, who went up to third – 0.399s off Norris' pace. Stroll retained position towards the top of the order and went up to fourth, joined by Aston Martin team-mate Fernando Alonso in the top five; the Spaniard missed FP1 through back trouble, which left Felipe Drugovich to take his slot. Lewis Hamilton was sixth fastest over former team-mate George Russell; the two Mercedes were separated by both Isack Hadjar and Yuki Tsunoda, who found pace over team-mate Max Verstappen – who only placed 14th in the timing order. Verstappen reported that his car was "undriveable" and said he "can't get any balance" – the Dutchman was placed under investigation for an incident where he threw a towel out of the car, which had been left in his cockpit. Andrea Kimi Antonelli completed the top 10 over 11th-placed Ollie Bearman, who has finished 11th in a grand prix four times in a row. After missing FP1, Nico Hulkenberg was 12th in the order – Paul Aron replaced the German in FP1, but his session was cut short by a warning light on his dash.
