THIS year's Le Mans 24 Hours will mark 30 years since McLaren made its' winning debut in the legendary road race and to celebrate the anniversary, the company is launching a special edition model which, the company says, is set to be one of the most sought-after McLaren series production supercars ever.

Only 50 examples of the 750S Le Mans coupe will be built for worldwide sale to mark the day - June 18, 1995 - when McLaren F1 GTR number 59, driven by JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas and Masanori Sekiya, won the gruelling 24-hour race with three more McLaren F1 GTRs in the top five placings.

To mark the anniversary, and to pay homage to the race-winning car, the 750S Le Mans comes in matching Le Mans Grey exterior paint - with the option of McLaren Orange also available - a roof scoop and five-spoke LM wheels. It will also feature the new MSO high downforce kit (HDK) which adds visual drama to the 750S with a raised carbon fibre active rear spoiler with integral endplates.

In conjunction with a front bumper featuring an enlarged carbon fibre splitter and rear wing, downforce is increased by ten per cent compared to the standard 750S, enhancing track performance and echoing the famous McLaren F1 LM edition's aerodynamic additions. Completing the HDK package is a new body-coloured carbon fibre under-wing panel featuring gloss black louvres.

Customers will also have a choice of Carbon Black with Dove Grey or Carbon Black with McLaren Orange interior colour combinations with Le Mans branding and a dedication plaque, with all cars featuring a portfolio of unique features as standard and plenty of options.

Amongst those options is a track record plaque, mounted in the front luggage compartment, which lists the 1995 Le Mans victory along with Triple Crown* achievements also featured alongside McLaren's many significant motorsport successes.

The company has not revealed the price - but given the rarity and advanced spec, those 50 lucky customers could be looking at anything from £275,000 upwards.

McLaren will be hoping for yet more success on the Sarthe circuit this year when, only days before the 30th anniversary, two McLaren GT3 EVO cars - based on the 750S - will compete for LMGT3 honours in the endurance classic.

Says McLaren's chief commercial officer, Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer:"The 750S Le Mans marks not just 30 years since our debut victory in the iconic race but an exciting time for the brand with McLaren GT3 EVO cars competing in this year's race and the announcement of our return to the top, Hypercar class in 2027.
