Unveiling McLaren's Triple Crown Tribute: The Limited-Edition 750S Masterpiece

McLaren

McLaren has just pulled the curtain back on a jaw-dropping special edition of the 750S, designed as a vibrant tribute to the legendary 'Triple Crown' victories in motorsports. Limited to a mere six units, these exclusive models, available in both coupe and spider variants, have already found their lucky owners. Let's dive into the captivating details that make this McLaren 750S a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

The mesmerizing '3-7-59' paint scheme is more than just a visual treat; it's a meticulous fusion of the liveries worn by three iconic cars: the 'three' M16D at the 1974 Indy 500, the 'four' MP4/2 at the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, and the '59' F1 GTR at Le Mans in 1995. Crafted over 1,200 hours by McLaren's Special Operations (MSO) team, the paintwork seamlessly blends over 20 different colors and compositions, creating a detailed collage of the cars and the races they conquered.

The front section pays homage to Alain Prost's Monaco Grand Prix-winning MP4/2, featuring a red and white combination that mimics the iconic V12 F1 car's appearance. The rear-end channels the spirit of the M16D racer, with a blue number three and the M16D's bright yellow livery, bridged by a striking chequered flag. The flanks sport a grey color scheme and the '59' logo, commemorating the F1 GTR's triumph at Le Mans in 1995, complete with the iconic bright green dot for the GT1 class.

The attention to detail extends to the satin black Vortex alloys and the glowing brake calipers, adopting all three vinyl colors. It's a visual spectacle that could easily be the star of a Need for Speed Underground remake.

Inside, the Triple Crown theme continues with badges, orange stitching on headrests and central armrest, and seats draped in a graphite Alcantara leather coat with white stitching. A painted 12 o'clock marker on the steering wheel and hand-painted carbon fiber shift paddles pay homage to the MP4/2.

As a finishing touch, McLaren provides owners with a key fob mirroring the car's design, ensuring they stand out in any crowd.

McLaren's CEO, Michael Leiters, remarks, “As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of McLaren being founded, we of course reflect on our legacy of pushing boundaries, both in motorsport and more recently in supercar and hypercar excellence. The 3-7-59 Theme takes inspiration from both of these areas, as a showcase of extreme performance that pays tribute to our Triple Crown success.”
