Beautiful vehicle….automotive art!!!

 

Love it, that would be one to have!

 

Loving the under wing corner gills!

 

That looks really good but damn- is Mclaren turning into Porsche with yet another variation........but the car does look good.

 

Only 50 though

 

The roof scoop looks like an add on blister. I’m a big roof scoop fan but not this one.

 

Woking says bollocks.

 

It looks like the surface area of the wing is less than the standard 750. The front splitter looks cool & probably does have more downforce . I would want the Senna seats.

 

this looks great. Only ballers will be able to get this one. Probably gonna be 500k.


On the other hand, I need that front lip/bumper.

 

looks like you can order the kit from MSO

 

I'm guessing with the extra aero, it'll be quicker round a track than a 765.

 

Me: sees photos, reads summary and considers doing bad things to my retirement funds. I’ll take mine in McLaren Orange please. Looks incredible

 

SHIT that is pretty AF.

 

I'll bet @EvolutionAutomotive can get 'em.....

 

I'll bet china gets it done first.

 

It would be more attractive (to me), if "special" variants of what effectively is the base vehicle, had increased power and chassis/suspension upgrades.

I've contacted MSO and the response was "Thank you, we'll bear that into consideration for the future".

I remember being there, when the first F1 LM was being assembled, it was the road-going version of the GTR, itself a huge development over the road car, with many new & upgraded engineering parts, not just jewellery. It feels to me, despite how pretty the 750S LM looks, as though McLaren have sold their soul to the marketing department accountants. "Special" variants should be more than "look special".

A HDK for the 750S will undoubtedly be released in the near future, enabling owners to mimik the looks of the LM. If the LM had improved engineering, the differences between the 2 could easily be maintained & the price differential easily justified.

 

Couldn’t agree more.

 

Contrary to what some people have been saying about no LT version of the 750, LT 2.0s talks HAVE been discussed, even the idea of an R version has been thrown around. It is pretty easy to predict Mclarens most likely next move. Same thing they did with the 650, 720, and now the 750. Especially with the big delay of the 7 series replacement.

Porsche does it with the whole 911 platform, GT3.1 to GT3.2, etc
Lambo does it with the Huracan Perf and then a few years later the STO. Aventador SV and a few years later SVJ

650--> 650 LM--> 675LT
720--> 720 LM--> 765LT
750--> 750 LM--> 7xxLT

TED talk over haha.

 

The Huracan Performante had more horsepower than the standard (then) model, so not quite true. It also had improved engineering and aero. Porsche's incremental updates all have slightly more power, than the previous offerings.
The 650 LM, 720S LM and 750S LM have the standard engine & HP.
The baseline for each model was already class-leading, but they could have made each technically better than the base models. It's effectively a marketing gimmick, using visual improvements. I doubt any of them will be faster around a lap than the models they're based on, but people with little technical prowess will undoubtedly be whipped up into a frenzy, nevertheless.

 

Sure is a lot of fuss over a car fewer than the very few will have.

 

I'm getting flashbacks to the triple crown paint job.... lol

 

I just spoke with my dealer and registered my interest. Starting price is $545K and current LM owners have right of first refusal. I am not one of those people, but figured I would throw my hat in the ring.

 

And only 20 coming to the US. The $545 is base. So you still have to spec them with lift etc…Defitnely over $600k for a mildly optioned car. I was told 100% they will NOT offer the HDK as a stand alone option for 750’s. Not from a dealer…much higher up than that. Also…the LM will be a ‘27 model…so likely out next summer or later.

There will be no 750 version LT. IMHO, at the moment…McLaren is a cluster f-$k. Super frustrated with the new transition. They’re playing ping pong with ideas and it’s ridiculous. But they have made it very clear, no LT.

 

I do hope that they take the opportunity to properly number them instead of the old '1 of 50' trick that would be a cop out. If I'm buying a limited edition model, I sure as heck want to know what number my actual car is of the 50.

 

Typically thats done so one car isn't/doesn't become more valuable than another.

 

With a starting price of 545k and as Aorta said after options easily in the 600k range, makes you scratch your head and wonder if its really 250-300k better than a decent spec 750 coupe which you can get in the 350-390k range right now!

 

Yeah, at this price point makes 0 sense. And let's be honest, it won't be 100k better than a 750...

 

It wasn't ever conceived or designed to be better. It's ostensibly an LM car for the track but in reality it's pitched (even by McLaren) as a collectors car that'll (and this is verbatim from the press release) "become one of our most sought-after supercars, with previous Le Mans editions of the 650S and 720S commanding a premium over standard models"

Like the old adage about telling people you're a good person.

 

Except the 650S LM hasn't really set the world on fire, maybe because you could only get it in Model T black.

 

that's the front bumper they should've used on the 750

 

Agreed. The standard front bumper on the 750S screams "we're saving costs in having a one-piece design", to me. I fully appreciate that aerodynamically and weight-savings wise, there are reasons for it to be the way it is, but it looks less aesthetically pleasing (to me) than the front of the 720S. They could easily have fixed it by using a more pronounced and less integrated front splitter. Details matter at this price-point.

 

This thing is epic, one of the more beautiful cars to come out of anywhere in recent years. As others mentioned, I never meshed well with the 750s front bumper. Just came off as cheap being painted entirely, but its growing on me.

Give me the front bumper, rear wing, wheels, make it a spider and its the perfect 750s!!!

I'm really hoping the make an LT model of the 750s but it sounds like thats not in the cards.

 

What does the track record plaque look like? Where is it mounted in the frunk?

 

“An optional track record plaque lists the 1995 Le Mans victory, with Triple Crown* achievements also featured alongside McLaren’s many significant motorsport successes. Mounted in the front luggage compartment, this option is available to purchasers of all new 750S cars.”
No photo of where in the frunk it is located. But will look great in your car…..😀

 

I have received feedback from my dealer that unfortunately I have not been allocated a 750S LeMans.
The demand was so huge that priority was given to customers with larger collections, at least as far as allocations here in Europe are concerned.
I am delighted for everyone who receives one of the 50 models; they are simply special cars. Cars that pay tribute to McLaren's unique success with the F1 GTR at Le Mans in 1995 with a high degree of attention to detail.

 

If they added an honorary amount of power, but instead offered serious weight reduction (as a no cost option package), that might be interesting. Maybe a gentle Tier 1 package and a go-nuts Tier 2 package. These are after all advertised as track cars. Everyone focuses on power, but weight is the win-win on the track. (Faster and handles better) Might even reduce cost if a lot of road features are omitted or replaced by useful track features (performance monitoring, built in jacks).

This would certainly set McLaren apart from the other brands that are deep into the hp/hybrid wars that are of so little interest (it seems).
