Eighteen McLaren customers will have the opportunity to be a part of the brand’s commemorations of winning the 2024 Formula 1 World Constructors’ Championship, following confirmation that a very limited production run of MCL38 Celebration Edition supercars are to be built. Just nine Celebration Edition Arturas and the same number of 750S will be offered for sale, the number of each chosen to mark McLaren’s ninth Constructors’ Championship victory.

McLaren won the 2024 Formula 1 World Constructors’ Championship at the season-closing Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, having led the standings since the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in September. Drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri accrued a combined eight pole positions and six Grand Prix victories with the McLaren MCL38 on their way to the team’s first such success since 1998.

The ultra-exclusive Celebration Edition cars are named in honour of the MCL38 2024 World Constructors’ Championship-winning Formula 1 car. Both models feature a bespoke livery curated by McLaren Special Operations, reflecting the Papaya Orange and Anthracite colourways that distinguish McLaren within the motorsport world and incorporating the chevron colour transition that has become synonymous with the brand. A Champions’ Laurel and ‘Nine-Star’ logo are proudly displayed, alongside additional orange accents including a bonnet stripe that features a Champions’ Laurel and brake calipers.

“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. Just nine examples of the Artura and nine of the 750S MCL38 Celebration Edition cars will be produced, each proudly commemorating McLaren’s most recent championship victory as well as delivering the exhilarating and unbeatable driving experience inherent in our world-class supercars.” – Michael Leiters, CEO, McLaren Automotive

The interior of the MCL38 Celebration Edition is equally striking, with the Visual Carbon Fibre Extended Sill Cover on the driver’s side personally signed by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri and Champions’ Laurel on the seat headrest section. Each example of the nine Artura and nine 750S MCL38 Celebration Edition carries a bespoke and rare souvenir – an MCL38 dedication plaque incorporating a genuine section of carbon fibre bodywork from an MCL38 Formula 1 car. An additional bespoke track record plaque, located in the bonnet storage area, lists the pole positions, race wins and fastest laps recorded by the MCL38 Formula 1 car during the victorious 2024 season.

The unique features include:

McLaren Artura MCL38 Celebration Edition

  • Bespoke painted livery
  • Visual Carbon Fibre Extended Sill Cover signed by Lando and Oscar and MCL38 Formula 1 car line graphic
  • Dedication plaque incorporating MCL38 Formula 1 car bodywork
  • Champions’ Laurel on headrest
  • Bespoke track record plaque
  • Papaya 12 o’clock steering wheel marker

McLaren 750S MCL38 Celebration Edition

  • Bespoke painted livery
  • Visual Carbon Fibre Extended Sill Cover signed by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, with MCL38 Formula 1 car line graphic
  • Dedication plaque incorporating MCL38 Formula 1 car bodywork

  • Bespoke track record plaque
  • Visual carbon fibre steering wheel with papaya 12 o’clock steering wheel marker and papaya accent on the clasp
  • Papaya mirror stripe
  • Papaya stripe on the leading edge of the front splitter

Like the MCL38 Formula 1 car, both the Artura and 750S have been decorated with awards in 2024* and owners of the Celebration Editions will be able to experience the astonishing performance of a McLaren supercar, whether it is the Artura’s 3-litre V6 hybrid powertrain or the 750S’s 4-litre twin-turbocharged V8. Both models feature McLaren’s signature carbon fibre monocoque chassis and supreme aerodynamics, with the 750S also equipped with an active rear wing and Proactive Chassis Control III suspension system.
