Le Mans Logo on Interior Panels and Headrests


Inspired by the McLaren F1 GTR with car number 01 that won the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans race, the limited edition "650S Le Mans" is a limited version of the "650S" announced last year, available only as a coupe model. Compared to the regular "650S," it features a distinctive finish, including a roof snorkel-type air intake and louvers on the front wings to optimize airflow around the wheels. The exterior extensively uses carbon fiber for the front splitter and rear bumper.

The body color, a metallic Sarthe Grey, and the motorsport-specification rims are also reminiscent of the McLaren F1 GTR. Turning to the interior, finished in black leather and Alcantara, the Le Mans logo is laid out on the interior door panels, headrests, and mats, emphasizing its anniversary status.

This limited edition was completed in collaboration with Peter Stevens, who designed the McLaren F1 GTR. The limited edition was produced by McLaren Special Operations, McLaren Automotive's bespoke division, with deliveries scheduled for mid-year onwards. The base price in the UK is £244,500 (approximately 43 million yen). Owners will be granted eligibility to participate in events at Le Mans commemorating the 20th anniversary of the victory.
