Every McLaren Car Ever Made
Every McLaren car ever made in one place. Learn about every model the iconic McLaren company has ever created. We even included race cars. Most people know McLaren from its most recent years of rapid model expansion. At the time of writing McLaren had 12 current models for sale (plus two race cars for sale) to the general public. There is also the MSO team at McLaren who create one off and limited edition production models for those who want something truly unique and rare.
Historically, McLaren had not been focused on production cars, instead specializing in racing cars for Formula 1 and GT series. McLaren did make some production cars prior to the launch of McLaren Automotive in 2010, best known of course if the McLaren F1. In our eyes it was the best supercar ever made. It changed the game so much and had such a fresh perspective that no other car will have that big an impact again. Before that was the M6GT, a stillborn project that was initially created to allow McLaren to race in Group 4 GT series, but was later shelved as a result of FIA rule changes that mandated 50 production examples before a car could be considered.
With that, please enjoy our list of all the McLaren models ever made:
Current McLaren Model Lineup
The current McLaren model lineup is led by the Ultimate Series cars - the Elva, the Senna and the Speedtail. Then you have the Supercar series with performance monsters like the new 765LT and the brand new Artura hybrid supercar. The entry level Sports Series classification is also gone (together with the cars like the 570S that previously carried that tag). In its place is the new McLaren GT. The 765LT is one of the best supercars out there today; having proven itself as a worthy successor to the legendary 675LT. Don't forget to check out our in-depth guide to current McLaren models.

McLaren 750S Coupe
Base price: US$331,740
Engine: 4.0 L twin-turbo V8
Power: 740 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 590 lb-ft @ 6,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.8 sec
0-124 mph: 7.2 sec
Top Speed: 206 mph
The Best Supercar on the Planet. The new McLaren 750S replaces the legendary 720S, using its progenitor as a base to build up a whole new definition of supercar from. The 4.0L twin-turbo V8 has been reworked to now produce 740 HP, and more active and passive aerodynamics give the car a slightly lower top speed but much more ferocious acceleration and handling.
McLaren 750S Spider
Base price: US$352,740
Engine: 4.0 L twin-turbo V8
Power: 740 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 590 lb-ft @ 6,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.8 sec
0-124 mph: 7.3 sec
Top Speed: 206 mph
Roadster Perfection. What sets the 750S apart from most other drop-top supercars is that even with the roof down, it has the exact same performance as its coupe brother. That means 2.8 seconds to 60 mph, a 206 mph top speed, and a roof that raises or lowers in under 13 seconds, while moving at up 31 mph!
McLaren 765LT
Base price: US$368,000
Engine: 4.0 L twin-turbo V8
Power: 755 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 590 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.7 sec
0-124 mph: 7.2 sec
Top Speed: 205 mph
Lives up the 765LT name. The 765LT replaces the 675LT as the newest limited-production track car. As with previous LT models, weight saving is the key focus for the 765LT, losing 160+lbs compared to the 720S. For the first time McLaren has also adjusted some of the 765LT’s inner workings too. This is peak McLaren and peak performance.
McLaren 765LT Spider
Base price: US$382,500
Engine: 4.0 L twin-turbo V8
Power: 755 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 590 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.7 sec
0-124 mph: 7.2 sec
Top Speed: 205 mph
Meet the open-top variant of the 765LT. Like its coupe sibling, production will also be limited to 765 units. The car is powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 that's capable of hurtling the car to 124 mph in just 7.2 seconds. Turning the McLaren 765LT into the Spider only adds 49 kg to the overall weight of 1,388 kg and the spider retains most of the handling dynamics of the coupe.
McLaren Artura
Base price: $238,000
Engine: 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 + hybrid electric
Power: 671 bhp
Torque: 531 ft lbs
0-60 mph: 3.0 seconds
0-124 mph: 8.3 seconds
Top Speed: 205 mph
The Artura is McLaren's next-gen high-performance hybrid. The supercar features a ton of new parts, including a new carbon-fiber chassis called the MCLA. It’ll house an entirely new powertrain and electrical architecture, too, riding on a platform optimized for the unspecified number of electric motors. Going to be insane.
McLaren GT
Base price: $209,990
Engine: 4.0 L twin-turbo V8
Power: 612 hp
Torque: 465 ft lbs
0-60 mph: 3.1 seconds
0-124 mph: 9.0 seconds
Top Speed: 202 mph
The GT attempts to redefine the capabilities of a grand tourer. It boasts a striking design and is engineered for long trips that can be completed in comfort without compromise on performance. McLaren claims this is one of the quickest cars in its class and its nine-second sprint time to 124 mph surely lends credence to that assertion.
McLaren Speedtail
Base price: US$2.2 million
Engine: Hybrid powertrain
Power: 1,035 bhp
Torque: TBD
0-60 mph: 2.9 sec
0-186 mph: 12.8 sec
Top Speed: 250+ mph
250+mph Hybrid Hypercar. This is the successor to the McLaren F1 (including iconic 3-seat layout). The McLaren Speedtail is a limited-production hypercar (only 106 will be built). Whereas other McLaren’s blend handling, acceleration, top speed, and driving dynamics in a harmonious package, the Speedtail has a more singular focus. Their first ever Hyper-GT and most aero-efficient car ever.
McLaren Elva
Base price: US$1.8 million
Engine: 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8
Power: 804 bhp
Torque: 590 lb/ft
0-60 mph: Under 3 sec
0-124 mph: 6.7 sec
Top Speed: TBD
Roofless Speedster Hypercar. The model is a completely roofless Speedster. It’s a familiar vehicle, but it’s also wildly unique. The car also gets a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 (same as the Senna). Makes 804 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. The McLaren factory will build 399 Elvas after the last Speedtail has left the facility. Each of those cars will come with a £1.4million ($1.9 million) starting price (a lot more with options of course).
McLaren Senna GTR
Base price: $1.8 million
Engine: 4.0 L twin-turbo V8
Power: 813 bhp @ 7,250 rpm
Torque: 590 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.8 sec
0-124 mph: 6.8 sec
Top Speed: 211 mph
A more hardcore Senna (if thats even possible). Track-focused update to the McLaren hypercar, the Senna. Freed from all road and motorsport rules, it pushes things to the max. Pared-back, pumped-up then unleashed for track use only… it is, simply put, ferocious. Try 1000kg of downforce and a power to weight ratio of 684 horsepower per tonne. This is a serious track-only car for the serious racer.
McLaren Senna
Base price: US$960,000
Engine: 4.0 L twin-turbo V8
Power: 789 bhp @ 7,250 rpm
Torque: 590 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.8 sec
0-124 mph: 6.8 sec
Top Speed: 211 mph
Lap Record Destroyer. Named after Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna, the McLaren Senna is a track-focused hypercar. Its aggressive appearance tells you immediately that this thing is designed to destroy lap times. The McLaren Senna is the fastest McLaren road car ever around a racetrack, with downforce numbers up there with proper race cars.
McLaren Solus GT
Base price: US$3.5 million
Engine: 5.2L naturally aspirated V10
Power: 830 bhp
Torque: TBD
0-60 mph: 2.4 sec
Top Speed: 200+ mph
From Playstation to Real Life. The Solus GT is the newest limited edition supercar from McLaren, based almost entirely on the McLaren Ultimate Vision Gran Turismo, from the Playstation 4 and 5 game Gran Turismo Sport . Only 25 units will be made, and it is a dedicated track-only car.
Produced exclusively by McLaren Special Operations, it features a 5.2L V10 engine derived from Formula 1 technology to scream beyond 10,000 RPM and generate 830 HP. It is shaped and built to weigh less than 1,000 kg, but produce over 1,200 kg of downforce.
McLaren 720S GT3 (Customer Racing)
The 720S GT3 elevates the extreme performance of the Super Series model to world-class track pace – accessible to professional and amateur drivers alike. The latest GT3 challenger is undergoing an intensive track testing programme throughout 2018, and will compete with customer teams at demanding GT races.
McLaren 570S GT4 (Customer Racing)
The 570S GT4 is based on the 570S Coupe from the McLaren Sports Series. The model is homologated to full GT4 specification, and is sold in a ready-to-race configuration, eligible for all GT4-regulated series globally. It is also the model that is used for the newly launched for Pure McLaren GT Series.
McLaren 720S GT3X (Customer Racing)
This otherworldly creation is a track-only car based on the 720S GT3. However, it isn't homologated for racing. That means McLaren were not bound by restrictions and were able to wring out every ounce of performance from the 720S GT3X. It is not eligible for the GT3 racing series but McLaren will still build one for that customer who just wants to have some fun on the tracks.

Legacy McLaren Models
It is hard to believe that McLaren has so many legacy models considering it had basically only made the McLaren F1 prior to 2010. Since 2010 it has launched models and killed them pretty quickly. At the top end you have the epic McLaren P1 that came, kicked butt and left. The same is true for the McLaren 675LT. Other legacy models include the 12C, McLaren’s first “volume” production model since deciding to get into the sports car business in a big way.

McLaren 540C Coupe
Base price: US$184,900
Engine: 3.8L twin-turbo V8
Power: 533 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 398 lb-ft @ 3,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.4 sec
0-124 mph: 10.5 sec
Top Speed: 199 mph
Entry Level Assassin. A mid-mounted 533-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 drives the rear wheels of the 540C. This is McLaren’s entry level model. Despite its lower price, the 540C inherits performance-aiding technologies from its pricier siblings such as a system that brakes a rear wheel to help the car around a corner. 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds, 0-124mph in 10.5 seconds.
McLaren 570S Coupe
Base price: US$191,100
Engine: 3.8L twin-turbo V8
Power: 562 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 443 lb-ft @ 5,000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.1 sec
0-124 mph: 9.5 sec
Top Speed: 204 mph
For The Driver. This is the car you buy when you are sick of your Porsche. It is a true sports car experience, very driver centric with epic performance. We have found the 570S as the perfectly positioned car in the McLaren range. It has more performance than you could ever need on the road. It is lightweight, has direct steering and amazing driving dynamics.
McLaren 570S Spider
Base price: US$211,300
Engine: 3.8L twin-turbo V8
Power: 562 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 443 lb-ft @ 5,000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.2 sec
0-124 mph: 9.6 sec
Top Speed: 199 mph
Perfect Open Top Fun. Basically a 570S with a retractable hardtop, the 570S Spider is awesome. Gone are the days where convertibles were compromised, McLaren it seems has figured out how to make them as good as their coupe siblings. The Spider has the same twin turbo V8 as the coupe as well as the same carbon fibre MonoCell II chassis. Probably the best all-rounder.
McLaren 570GT
Base price: US$203,950
Engine: 3.8L twin-turbo V8
Power: 562 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 443 lb-ft @ 5,000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.4 sec
0-124 mph: 9.8 sec
Top Speed: 204mph
Practical, Fast, Luxurious. The 570GT is an interesting model now that McLaren has launched a focused GT model. It adds extra comfort and practicality to the 570 body style. Performance is still tremendous, but it takes the edge off in some ways (which is good). Every bit a McLaren, it’s optimized for the road and makes the ultimate experience that’s perfect for daily use and weekends away.
McLaren 600LT Coupe
Base price: US$242,500
Engine: 3.8L twin-turbo V8
Power: 592 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 457 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.9 sec
0-124 mph: 8.2 sec
Top Speed: 204 mph
Track-Focused Extreme. The limited-edition 600LT is the ultimate version of McLaren’s 570S/GT range (think of it like the 458 Speciale as to the 458). It uses a variation of 570S’ McLaren’s twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8, in this guise making 592 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. The handling is perfectly balanced and reassures you with its predictable nature.
McLaren 600LT Spider
Base price: US$256,500
Engine: 3.8L twin-turbo V8
Power: 592 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 457 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.9 sec
0-124 mph: 8.4 sec
Top Speed: 201 mph
Extreme With Heightened Sensations. Like the 600LT Coupe, a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 with 592 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque shoots the LT Spider to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. Getting to 124 mph takes just an extra two-tenths of a second compared to the hardtop. You step on the throttle, wait for a tinge of turbo lag, then boom.
McLaren 620R Coupe
Base price: US$300,000
Engine: 3.8 L twin-turbo V8
Power: 612 bhp @ 7,250 rpm
Torque: 457 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.9 sec
0-124 mph: 8.1 sec
Top Speed: 200 mph
570S GT4 race car for the road. The car is basically a 570S GT4 race car for the road. It’s a limited-run coupe that McLaren will build only 350 of. The car is the most powerful of the Sports Series range. 612 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. The car also gets the 570S GT4’s suspension and braking parts and many of the different adjustable aero components.
McLaren 720S Coupe
Base price: US$300,000
Engine: 4.0 L twin-turbo V8
Power: 710 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 568 lb-ft @ 6,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.9 sec
0-124 mph: 7.8 sec
Top Speed: 212 mph
The Best Supercar on the Planet. The McLaren 720S is a sensational supercar, easily the best of the current breed. It has a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 that produces 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. It looks gorgeous too. Unrivaled chassis tuning, absurd amounts of speed, unparalleled acceleration numbers and a package that looks stunning.
McLaren 720S Spider
Base price: US$315,000
Engine: 4.0 L twin-turbo V8
Power: 710 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Torque: 568 lb-ft @ 6,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.9 sec
0-124 mph: 7.9 sec
Top Speed: 212 mph
Roadster Perfection. The latest iteration of the current 720S – monikered “Spider” is a convertible variant of the 720S which comes with a folding hard top. The Spider retains the same DNA as the Coupe. Thanks to its brilliant aero design, the Spider still achieves a remarkable top speed of 202 mph with the top folded. Nearly perfect convertible performance.
McLaren M6GT
Years: 1969
Engine: V8
Power: 370 bhp @ 5,800 rpm
Torque: 370 ft lbs @ 5,800 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.2 sec
0-100 mph: 6.7 sec
Top Speed: 165 mph
It all started here. Bruce McLaren’s vision for the M6GT is the genesis for all McLaren road cars. Based on the latest race technology, the M6GT was superlight, blisteringly quick, confidence inspiring and safe. Road-legal, but based essentially on a prototype race-car, the M6 GT had a cramped interior and no real semblance of usability or practicality. It did come with a Bartz-tuned Chevrolet engine that was totally insane.
McLaren F1
Years: 1992 - 1998
Engine: BMW Nat Asp V12
Power: 627.1 bhp @ 7,400 rpm
Torque: 479 ft lbs @ 5,600 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.2 sec
0-100 mph: 6.7 sec
Top Speed: 240.1 mph
The Greatest Ever. The McLaren F1 is world’s best supercar. Its top speed of 240 mph puts much of even today’s supercar crowd to shame, and ergonomic features like the driver-centered, three-seat cockpit have rarely been seen since. The McLaren F1 debuted in 1992. It was the cost-no-object approach to building a car and was such a leap ahead in almost every imaginable way that it changed way we think about supercars forever.
McLaren F1 LM
Years: 1995
Engine: BMW Nat Asp V12
Power: 668 bhp @ 7,800 rpm
Torque: 520 ft lbs @ 4,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.9 sec
0-100 mph: 6.7 sec
Top Speed: 225 mph
Ultimate Version of Mighty F1. The F1 LM features the 1995 GTR engine without air restrictors. 18 inch magnesium wheels 76 kgs lighter than the standard F1. Upgraded aerodynamics & gearbox. To commemorate its success at Le Mans, McLaren unveiled this celebratory road-variant called the F1 LM. The LM was limited to just five examples, one for each of the F1 GTRs that competed. All 5 were painted Papaya Orange.
McLaren F1 GT
Years: 1997
Engine: BMW Nat Asp V12
Power: 627 bhp @ 7,400 rpm
Torque: 480 ft lbs @ 5,600 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.2 sec
0-100 mph: 6.7 sec
Top Speed: 241 mph
All About The Downforce. McLaren wanted to create a car with more downforce than the standard F1 with less drag than the LM version offered. The result? This F1 GT with radical new body aerodynamics. McLaren built only three examples in 1997. The GT was actually the final incarnation of the road-going F1, developed as a homologation special for the race-spec 1995 - 1997 McLaren F1 GTR. The GT is the rarest F1.
McLaren 12C
Years: 2011 - 2014
Engine: 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8
Power: 616 bhp @ 7,000 rpm
Torque: 442 ft lbs @ 3,000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.3 sec
0-124 mph: 9.1 sec
Top Speed: 204 mph
The Start of Modern-Day McLaren. Cutting-edge carbon-fiber composite structure, trick suspension that is part luxury part race car. You could drive the 12C supercar every day. Launched with 592bhp and later upgraded to 616bhp. The 12C wasn't perfect but it showed that McLaren could build a very good supercar out of the gate. McLaren worked on a replacement and improvement very quickly which is why we saw the 650S by 2014 to replace the 12C.
McLaren 12C Spider
Years: 2011 - 2014
Engine: 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8
Power: 616 bhp @ 7,000 rpm
Torque: 442 ft lbs @ 3,000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.3 sec
0-124 mph: 9.1 sec
Top Speed: 204 mph
More Exciting Than 12C Coupe. The inevitable convertible version of the MP4-12C supercar. With the same lightweight engine developing 616 bhp and unique folding roof system and carbon ‘MonoCell’ chassis identical to that of the 12C. It was the first time we ever remember a convertible being as stiff as a coupe (you really couldn't tell the difference when driving). As a result, it was more fun and exciting. Open top also helped with the sound from that twin turbo V8.
McLaren 650S
Years: 2014 - 2017
Engine: 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8
Power: 641 bhp @ 7,250 rpm
Torque: 500 ft lbs @ 6,000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.0 sec
0-124 mph: 8.4 sec
Top Speed: 207 mph
Fixes All That Was Wrong With 12C. When 12C sales took a nosedive, McLaren went to work quickly creating its successor, the 650S. The front bumper gives the McLaren 650S a dramatic, yet clean appearance that makes the 12C look plain. It is also quicker, more assertive and dynamically better than the 12C. At 150 mph, downforce levels were 24 percent higher than the 12C. The steering reveals more feel than the 12C and the engine also sounds better too (desperately needed).
McLaren 650S Spider
Years: 2014 - 2017
Engine: 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8
Power: 641 bhp @ 7,250 rpm
Torque: 500 ft lbs @ 6,000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.0 sec
0-124 mph: 8.6 sec
Top Speed: 204 mph
Drives Like Coupe. More Drama. Mechanically identical to the 650S Coupé, fitted with the M838T twin turbo V8 engine, producing 641 bhp and 500 lb ft. This means a sub 3.0 second sprint to 60 mph, identical to the Coupé. It drives just as well as the coupe, but the open top just gives the car so much more drama and it makes it feel more special. The weight penalty for the convertible is only 80lbs, which is nothing in the scheme of things.
McLaren 625C
Years: 2015 - 2016
Engine: 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8
Power: 616 bhp @ 7,250 rpm
Torque: 442 ft lbs @ 3,000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.3 sec
0-124 mph: 9.1 sec
Top Speed: 204 mph
Woking introduced a road-legal iteration specifically tailored for the Asian market. Dubbed 625C, with "C" standing for "Club", the 650S-based model represented McLaren’s idea of a sports car that focuses on day-to-day usability and comfort without compromising the performance and race-bred feel of the original car. The 625C is fitted with new dampers and a revised suspension setup, including softer spring rates.
McLaren 675LT
Years: 2015 - 2017
Engine: 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8
Power: 666 bhp @ 7,100 rpm
Torque: 515 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.9 sec
0-124 mph: 7.9 sec
Top Speed: 205 mph
Higher-Performance Track Monster. A lighter, faster and more hardcore version of the McLaren 650S. Track-focused but still absolutely scintillating on the road. Nothing less than one of the greatest automotive experiences ever. Top Gear said: "Nothing less than one of the greatest automotive experiences ever. The bald performance figures tell some of the story...deliver the most focused driving experience imaginable".
McLaren 675LT Spider
Years: 2016 - 2017
Engine: 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8
Power: 666 bhp @ 7,100 rpm
Torque: 515 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm
0-60 mph: 2.9 sec
0-124 mph: 7.9 sec
Top Speed: 205 mph
Nearly Perfect Open Sports Car. With the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 as the Coupe with its 666hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Reaching 60 mph from a standstill takes just 2.9 seconds, making it a tenth of a second faster the 488 Spider. Game on. EVO magazine said it best: Just as talented as the fixed-roof 675LT, the Spider is fast, fun and involving. And already sold out...". Maybe a used one then?
McLaren P1
Years: 2013 - 2015
Engine: 3.8 L M838TQ twin-turbo V8 + electric motor
Power: 986 hp
Torque: 774 lb/ft
0-60 mph: 2.8 sec
0-124 mph: 6.8 sec

Won Hybrid Hypercar War. Limited production run of 375. The P1 beat the hybrid hypercars from Porsche and Ferrari and showed people that hybrid hypercars could be astonishing from a performance perspective. Cool electric motor handily fill in the torque hole left by turbo lag. One of the best ever. There has been no direct replacement for the P1 and it still sits on top of my list of top 5 ever.

The first McLaren to use the GTR moniker was the McLaren F1 GTR that won the 1995 Le Mans 24 Hours. Without road-car regulations to hold it back, the McLaren P1 GTR was an extreme track car. It was only offered for sale to P1 owners and include participation in driving events at some of the world’s most iconic circuits with specialist vehicle support. The ultimate track focused driver’s car.

The wildest P1 which says a lot. This McLaren P1 LM is the wildest P1 of all. While it’ll was delivered by McLaren’s Special Operations division, it’s the work of Lanzante, the company which took the old F1 GTR to its surprise Le Mans victory in 1995. It is a track-only hypercar that was offered only to existing P1 owners. Lucky bastards. It set a 6:43.2 Nürburgring time too, fastest ever at the time.

Lanzante has finally unveiled its McLaren P1 GT conversion at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Based on a P1 GTR, the firm sculpts longtail bodywork that gives the machine an even sleeker appearance. A wealthy customer from the Middle East allegedly commissioned the special design. Modifications include a revised front end that appears to have an even larger splitter than the standard GTR.
Limited-Edition McLaren Models (Built By MSO)
While all McLaren cars are low volume, some McLaren cars are so exclusive and unique that they involve a team at McLaren known as McLaren Special Operations, or MSO. If a McLaren customer is looking for something unique and really special the MSO team can cater to their needs.
MSO’s services are divided into five tiers: MSO Defined offers optional exterior and interior options for series production cars. MSO Limited covers special-edition road cars, such as the 12C 50th Anniversary of 2013 or the 650S Le Man. MSO Bespoke goes one step further, inviting customers to become more involved in the creative process, from special paint to even developing a completely unique car. MSO Heritage supports McLaren’s past models, providing servicing and personalization.
We are showcasing a number of the MSO Limited cars. They are very limited production models with exclusive enhancements and since they are not one off bespoke situations they are appropriate for our model list. Also, we are not showcasing any of the “packages” you can buy for your McLaren, like the MSO version of the 720S Spider since these are basically just add ons.

50 Cars. The McLaren 50 12C and 12C Spider were built to celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2013, with 50 examples of each body style produced. The special edition featured a new part-carbon front bumper that boosted downforce, carbon ceramic brakes and lightweight wheels finished in satin black. The cabin was upholstered in full leather and carried a special anniversary plate to celebrate the anniversary.
50 Cars. Made to honor McLaren’s five back-to-back drivers’ titles in the Canadian-American Challenge Cup from 1967 to 1971. The 650S Can-Am features unique carbon fibre bodywork, Can-Am-inspired forged alloy wheels, a bespoke polished stainless steel exhaust, and Papaya Spark, Mars Red and Onyx Black exterior colour schemes.
50 Cars. Built to celebrate the 20th anniversary of McLaren’s win at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 650S Le Mans pays tribute to the McLaren F1 GTR. A comprehensive design was created in consultation with Peter Stevens, the man who designed the McLaren F1 alongside Gordon Murray. It also has unique lightweight wheels inspired by the motorsport-specification rims of the original race car.
50 Cars. Based on the MSO 650S Coupe Concept, the MSO 650S is a limited edition restricted to just 50 cars, with a myriad of styling and performance upgrades. Carbon fibre detailing includes extended MSO door ‘blades’ to enhance airflow and a more aggressive rear diffuser. It wears 10-spoke ultra-lightweight alloy wheels held in place with titanium wheel bolts, while the cabin receives extensive carbon fibre detailing.
25 Cars. Based on the 675LT Spider, the Carbon Series LT was produced in response to requests from McLaren customers captivated by the visual carbon fibre bodied McLaren P1. Staying true to the ‘Longtail’ ethos, the MSO Carbon Series LT was developed with a focus on light weight and optimised aerodynamic performance. Applying gloss carbon fibre to the entire body of the car further extends its appeal to bring a brutal beauty to the existing 675LT Spider body.
25 Cars. The 679-horsepower MSO HS (for High Sport) and it’s ridiculous. For context, the McLaren MSO HS sits squarely between the McLaren 675LT and the mighty McLaren P1. The MSO HS is based on the McLaren 650S and is limited to just 25 example. The biggest differences appear in the body. The roof, hood, front bumper, and wing – which is inspired by the McLaren P1 GTR – are all made out of carbon fiber. We love the McLaren F1 inspired roof air-scoop.
6 Cars. Distinct themes represent significant periods of McLaren’s racing history. Featuring a 570S Coupe and 570S Spider in each theme for a total of six cars. The collection features three distinct themes: Muriwai, which celebrates Bruce McLaren’s early racing exploits in New Zealand; Papaya Spark, which honours victories in orange during the ’60s and 70s; and lastly, Sarthe Grey, inspired by McLaren’s Le Mans victory in 1995.
6 Cars. McLaren built the 570GT MSO Cabbeen Collection as a China-only model. The company made five of the cars that appeared at the 2018 Beijing Auto Show in China. Now, there is a sixth car that made its American debut at the Lunar New Year: Year of the Pig celebration in Los Angeles. McLaren Special Operations and Mr. Cabbeen, a Chinese fashion designer teamed up to build the bespoke models.
3 Cars. To commemorate 50 years since Bruce McLaren secured the first Grand Prix victory for McLaren, the company will build a limited edition 720S Spa 68 Collection. Brussels commissioned three of the cars. Feature a Bespoke Anniversary Orange paint job to match the car that won the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix.
Before McLaren says goodnight to the 600LT Coupe, the company decided to put out a special MSO version of it. McLaren London commissioned the car. The car features a carbon-fiber roof with a roof scoop, 10-spoke ultra-lightweight gloss black wheels, and orange brake calipers.
There are six McLaren 600LT Spiders built by McLaren Special Operations for the Pikes Peak Collection. Each of the cars is unique. Each of them features either the MSO Bespoke or MSO Heritage paintwork. Colors include Black Gold, White Gold, Nerello Red, Volcano Red, Aurora Blue & Midas Grey.
Celebrating 25 years since the iconic McLaren F1 GTR‘s first win at the Le Mans 24 Hours, the 720S Le Mans will have only 50 cars produced worldwide. It gets functional roof scoop, special wheels, full carbon fiber racing seats, and two color choices. Those two colors are McLaren Le Mans Orange, or Sarthe Grey.
The cars all come with exposed carbon fiber and special liveries. These liveries are designed to mark Ayrton Senna’s famous F1 wins. They include the 1991 Brazilian GP, the 1993 European GP held at Donington Park, and the five consecutive wins at Monaco.
A group of cars designed to celebrate the high cornering speeds that McLaren cars have achieved at some of the most iconic corners at European racetracks. The corners? Eau Rouge, the Mobil 1 Kurve, the Abbey, the Signes and the Ascari Chicane (90 mph).
McLaren P1 GTR By MSO
This P1 GTR is meant to celebrate the McLaren MP4/4 F1 car Ayrton Senna raced to complete dominance in 1988. This is a one-off P1 GTR that a collector commissioned to be built and the livery isn't the only thing that sets it apart either, it has a unique engine specification.
Verdant Theme GT by MSO
The satin tri-tone blend emerges and merges as you look from front to back of the GT. The colors fuse, fade, blend and contrast to mesmerizing effect. An incredible 430 hours of focused work. Verdant theme wears three new green paint colors (Horsell Green, Arbor, and Steppe Green).
McLaren Special Operations’ bespoke division has produced 15 cars exclusively for U.S customers. The McLaren Sabre is powered by an 824-hp, 590ft-lb torque, twin-turbo V-8, which happens to be the most powerful non-hybrid engine to date. McLaren has claimed a top speed of 218-mph (350kph) with the Sabre. McLaren is not sharing any other specifications at this time but we should see some soon, it’ll be tough to hide an 824-hp Sabre from anyone.
Only 12 made. Named the 600LT Spider Segestria Borealis, the car is named after the Segestria florentina spider. the 600LT Spider Segestria Borealis borrows both of these colors. The paint is a deep gloss black with green flake embedded in it, and the pinstripes, the brake calipers, diffuser vanes, interior stitching, and body lines of the Spider are fluorescent green. There is also a tube web motif on the side mirrors, seat inserts, and dynamic wing at the back.
MSO claims they drained 450 hours into designing this paint scheme for the 765LT, decorating the car with skyline-inspired shapes and featuring their F1 colors with an Azores Orange rear end. Extras include painted brake calipers (Volcano Red in the rear, Azores Orance in the front), Memphis Red interior accents, MSO embroidered headrests, and a painted ignition key they claim took 14 hours.
Mercedes-McLaren SLR
The Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR was developed jointly by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren. The SLR was sold between 2003 and 2010. At the time when the car was being developed, Mercedes-Benz had a 40 percent stake in the McLaren Group. The Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR was offered both as a coupe and as a roadster. The two companies cooperated closely during the early days of 21st century Formula 1 racing. McLaren made the bodies of the race cars, Mercedes provided the dominant engines that powered them. The SLR was, oddly, a bit of the other way around, with McLaren only really providing the styling and carbon fiber work for the cars, while Mercedes built them. As well, Mercedes was responsible for the 5.4-liter supercharged V8.

McLaren Race Cars
McLaren is the second-oldest active Formula 1 team and if you have been following their race team for more than five seasons, they have actually been pretty successful at the sport, with some of the most iconic and successful Formula 1 cars ever made. The same goes for the short-lived, but exciting Can-Am race series. Can-Am was all McLaren, with the orange cars from Colnbrook notching up 38 victories, while privateer cars accounted for two more. Even in that final year of eclipse the works cars won twice and a private example once, bringing the final marque tally to an incredible 43. IndyCar was another race series McLaren dabbled in, first contesting the Indianapolis 500 race in 1970, encouraged by their tyre supplier Goodyear, which wanted to break competitor Firestone's stranglehold on the event. Perhaps the most interesting race series was McLaren taking their F1 and winning LeMans on their first attempt. Below we share a list of all the McLaren race cars over the years, and don't forget to check out our more in-depth McLaren race car page.
