In a triumphant ode to its motorsport dominance, McLaren Automotive has unveiled the ultra-exclusive MCL38 Celebration Edition versions of its acclaimed Artura and 750S supercars. The announcement marks McLaren’s ninth Formula 1 Constructors’ World Championship victory, secured in a thrilling 2024 season finale at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
With only nine Artura and nine 750S models available globally, the Celebration Edition cars epitomize exclusivity and precision engineering, paying homage to McLaren’s success on and off the track. Each vehicle boasts a bespoke exterior livery inspired by the iconic Papaya Orange and Anthracite hues that have become synonymous with the McLaren Formula 1 team. Notable details include a Champions’ Laurel and Nine-Star logo, symbolizing the team’s championship triumphs.
Both the Artura and 750S Celebration Editions are further elevated with Visual Carbon Fibre Sill Covers, personally signed by McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. A unique ‘MCL38’ dedication plaque embedded within each car incorporates a genuine piece of carbon fibre bodywork from the title-winning 2024 MCL38 Formula 1 car, making every unit a rare collector’s item.
Michael Leiters, CEO of McLaren Automotive, expressed his pride in the team’s remarkable achievements: “The relentless pursuit of excellence is intrinsic to the McLaren mindset, and in 2024 we demonstrated this with incredible success on both the track and the road. The achievements of Zak Brown, Andrea Stella, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and the entire McLaren Racing team in winning the Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship are beyond inspirational – and what better way to mark this than with an ultra-exclusive Celebration Edition of our award-winning Artura and 750S.”
Each Celebration Edition car’s interior mirrors the bespoke craftsmanship seen on the exterior. The driver’s side Carbon Fibre Extended Sill Cover is autographed by Norris and Piastri, while the headrests are embroidered with the Champions’ Laurel emblem.
