Project: Endurance unveiled as McLaren’s Le Mans hypercar

McLaren has taken the wraps of Project: Endurance, its latest limited edition hypercar, at a private at Monterey Car Week. Presented by McLaren Group Holdings CEO, Nick Collins and McLaren Racing CEO, Zak Brown, and hosted by Justin Bell, third place overall finisher at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans in the #51 McLaren F1 GTR, the new car showcased a new livery with a nod to the famed 1974 Indianapolis 500 winning McLaren M16.

First shown to the world at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June, Project: Endurance will make its competitive racing debut at the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) as the Woking-based company hopes to once again claim the Triple Crown of motorsport, this time in a single season.

Aston Martin to Sell F1 Team as Firm Goes Private

Aston Martin makes a bold move by selling its Formula 1 team amid plans to go private.

The livery takes inspiration from the first of McLaren’s Triple Crown victories when the M16, driven by Texan Johnn Rutherford, won the 1974 Indianapolis 500. The car is finished in McLaren Orange with a dark blue centre strip inspired by the Texas flag, while the roof of the cockpit is “adorned” with the lone white star of the US state as carried on the helmet of Rutherford.

Project: Endurance offers a chance to own an authentic Le Mans hypercar, something few of us will ever be lucky enough to experience. It also gives owners the chance to “be at the very heart of an elite motorsport development and testing program.” This includes full behind-the-scenes access to the upcoming McLaren United AS WEC campaign, key team personnel and drivers as well as a comprehensive track driving program at world-famous race circuits.

Owners of the hypercar will enjoy a two-year McLaren customer track program that includes some of the planet’s best race circuits. Each owner will also get a driver coach from a race professional, with individual pit crew and race engineers supporting throughout, allowing them “a pathway to master their hypercar and push their limits at the pinnacle of sportscar racing.”
