The Measure of a life
THE MEASURE OF A LIFE
Bruce McLaren with the Tasman Cup in 1964. Triumphant, but thoughtful. Behind the photograph is a story of resolve, of vision… and of profound loss.
The 1964 Tasman Series marked the first championship won by McLaren, the company that bore his name. It was a moment of significance, not just a race victory, but the beginning of something enduring. McLaren the team had arrived. But Bruce McLaren, the man, had long since learned that success rarely comes without cost.

W1
W1: THE REAL SUPERCAR
What happens when you simply focus on what a real supercar should be? Not a response to legacy. Not a reaction to trend. But a return to first principles — Sensational Power. Ultimate Control. Pure Driver Connection. Authentic Theatre. A clean sheet guided not by what the world expects, but by what we know matters: sensation, clarity, and absolute focus.
Enter the McLaren W1, a car forged, not to follow the lineage, but to celebrate it. To pick up the mantle and take it forward.
To re-establish what a real supercar can be. While some brands bask in the glow of past triumphs, W1 is born of restlessness, a refusal to be confined by the gravity of what had already been achieved. It does not seek to echo the F1 or P1… rather it provokes, questions and challenges them.
The '1' Car Lineage
THE '1' CAR LINEAGE: CREATING A LEGACY
When McLaren created the F1, it did not set out simply to build the best car of all time. It set out to question what a road car could be… to take the focus, engineering and racers’ spirit of a Formula 1 team and turn it, undiluted, into something new.

A decade of LT
A DECADE OF LT: ENGINEERING WITHOUT RESTRAINT
For ten years the LT badge has occupied a singular space in the McLaren universe. Not merely faster or lighter variants, LT models are born from a deeper, more provocative impulse. To challenge the limits of what even McLaren’s own engineers consider possible.
Across the 675LT, 600LT, 765LT and beyond, each LT model has been a distillation of that same impulse. Weight is slashed not just by trimming luxuries, but by interrogating every component, every panel, every mechanism. Aerodynamics sharpened, throttle response intensified… crafting cars that are even more focused, breathtaking, unforgettable.
LE MANS: 30 YEARS OF TRIUMPH
1995: THE SURPRISE THAT SHOOK THE WORLD
When McLaren arrived at the Circuit de la Sarthe in 1995, few predicted that a lightly modified road car, the F1 GTR, would walk away with outright victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
It was an audacious move, entering a machine designed not as a purebred prototype, but as a road-going supercar adapted for endurance racing. Yet the result was emphatic: first place overall, backed by third, fourth and fifth, against a field of established endurance giants.
2025: CELEBRATING THE LEGACY
Today, we celebrate three decades since that extraordinary victory.
The 750S Le Mans Special Edition, unveiled this year, is not just a tribute but a tangible embodiment of that historic moment. The first time a 750S has been offered with the MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK), itself inspired by the F1 GTR. It channels the spirit of endurance racing into the most exhilarating road car of its generation.
2027 AND BEYOND: THE CHALLENGER SPIRIT REIGNITES
With McLaren's formal announcement of entry into the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), we will once again compete at the highest level of endurance racing.
CHAMPIONS AND CHALLENGERS, INSEPARABLY BOUND
As we mark 30 years since our historic Le Mans victory, we do so not merely as custodians of a great legacy, but as architects of the next chapter. We are both champions, honouring a victory that reshaped the racing world, and challengers, unwilling to stand still, hungry to prove once again that the extraordinary is always just beyond the horizon.
MCL39
MCL39: ENGINEERING MASTERY, RACING SPIRIT
Every component on the MCL39 tells a story of championship ambition. The revised front and rear suspension geometries bring a new level of tyre management, unlocking race-winning pace across a variety of circuits. The power unit, sharpened and optimised in partnership with Mercedes, delivers not just raw output, but unprecedented reliability. The aerodynamic philosophy, refined through hundreds of hours in the simulator, CFD, and wind tunnel, has produced a car that performs in every setting, climate and track layout.

MSO: THE ART OF THE BESPOKE
Within McLaren, there is a realm where engineering meets artistry, where individuality is not an option but an expectation. This is McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the division that transforms extraordinary cars into one-of-one expressions of personal vision, elevating each creation beyond the merely exceptional.

Solus GT
SOLUS GT: FROM GAME TO GLORY
In its earliest form, the Solus GT didn’t exist in carbon fibre or forged alloy, but in pixels. It was born in the world of Gran Turismo. A concept car, imagined without limitation, shaped by the freedom of the digital realm. A single-seat vision of what a track machine could be, unconstrained by regulation or tradition.
