McLaren's first victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans was 25 years ago, with the unavoidable F1, and to commemorate the anniversary, the Woking brand made known the McLaren 720S Le Mans.
Limited to 50 units (16 of which for Europe), all units in this special series will see the chassis number start with “298”, a reference to the number of laps covered by the McLaren F1 GTR who won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995.
Mechanically the McLaren 720S Le Mans remained unchanged, continuing to use the V8 with 4.0 l, twin turbo with 720 hp that allows it to reach 100 km/h in 2.9s and 341 km/h.
