Limited to 50 units celebrating McLaren's 1995 Le Mans victory
Features MSO High Downforce Kit and carbon fibre roof scoop
Powered by 750PS twin-turbo V8 with Proactive Chassis Control III
Interior includes Le Mans branding, Alcantara trim, and optional commemorative plaques
Exclusive LM wheels, F1 Gold brake calipers, and special aero upgrades included
While we eagerly await the McLaren 'LT' version of the already mental 750S supercar, the brand has released a hardcore 'Le Mans' edition to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1995 race win at the famed circuit on June 18th.
JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas and Masanori Sekiya were behind the wheel of a 1995 McLaren F1 GTR #59 when the team claimed victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans on their first appearance as a constructor in the world-famous race. Now, there's a car to celebrate with the release of 50 limited edition McLaren 750S 'Le Mans Edition' models that add a new MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK), roof scoop, unique 5-spoke LM wheels, carbon fibre Monocage II central structure and Proactive Chassis Control III suspension to make this the lightest and most agile car in its class.
With the LM-style wheels and paint to match the #59 F1 GTR Le Mans exterior in Grey (McLaren Orange also available), this will be a very desirable model for collectors. They'll also get plenty of Le Mans logos and that multi-award-winning 750S performance, highlighted by the mid-mounted, 750PS 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 McLaren engine. Let's take a closer look!

Let's start on the interior of the McLaren 750S Le Mans Edition, where the first thing you'll notice is the scaffolding in the rear. That's right, you have a choice of two Le Mans interior themes in either Carbon Black Alcantara with Jet Black Softgrain Leather and Dove Grey Alcantara or Carbon Black Alcantara with Jet Black Softgrain Leather and McLaren Orange Alcantara.
That's complemented by Le Mans debossed headrests, branded floormats, and a bespoke Le Mans dedication plaque. Heck, you can even double-down on the plaques and choose to add a plaque into the front luggage compartment that lists the 1995 Le Mans victory with the other Triple Crown achievements in the Indianapolis 500 and Monaco Grand Prix. This option is available to all new 750S cars.

The LM-style wheels and new MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK) add visual drama to the 750S, which are motorsport-inspired and functional.
While it looks like a fixed wing at first glance, the raised carbon fibre Active Rear Spoiler with integral endplates is indeed active. It works with a front bumper that features an enlarged carbon fibre splitter and rear wing to increase downforce by 10 per cent compared to the standard 750S.
Other additions to the exterior of the McLaren 750S Le Mans Edition include:
High Downforce Kit (HDK)
5-spoke Le Mans wheel with Stealth finish and Le Mans branding
F1 Gold Special Colour Brake Calipers with red McLaren logo
Wheel Centre Caps with blue/red colour detail
Gloss Black Carbon Fibre Roof Scoop
Carbon Fibre Front Fenders with Gloss Black Louvres
Gloss Black exterior details
Natural Titanium Exhaust Finisher
Painted Le Mans exterior branding

Completing the HDK package is a new body-coloured carbon fibre under-wing panel featuring gloss black louvres. However, you can also choose a handful of exterior option packs, which we've outlined below:
Exterior Details in Gloss Visual Carbon Fibre
Gloss Visual Carbon Fibre HDK and Underbody pack (Front Splitter, Rear Diffuser, Active Spoiler)
Gloss Visual Carbon Fibre Raised Active Rear Spoiler only
Gloss Visual Carbon Fibre Louvre pack (Front Fender Louvres, Rear Under-Wing Panel Louvres)
Gloss Visual Carbon Fibre Roof Scoop Outer
Track Brake Upgrade incorporating F1 Gold Special Colour Brake Calipers with red McLaren logo
'The 750S Le Mans marks not just 30 years since our debut victory in the iconic race, but an exciting time for the brand with McLaren GT3 EVO cars competing in this year's race and the announcement of our return to the top, Hypercar class in 2027,' said Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, Chief Commercial Officer, McLaren Automotive.
'This exclusive 750S is the first McLaren Le Mans edition since the F1 LM to feature HDK aerodynamic enhancements and is set to become one of our most sought-after supercars, with previous Le Mans editions of the 650S and 720S commanding a premium over standard models.'
Pricing for the McLaren 750S Le Mans hasn't been shared by the brand, but if you haven't received a phone call to purchase the car already, then you've likely missed out. The standard McLaren 750S is priced from AUD$580,163 plus on-road costs in Australia.

Review: 2025 Lamborghini Revuelto
Strange things happen when you approach 300km/h on a racetrack. Detail is stripped from your peripheral vision as your mind focuses on the most important information front and centre. Braking and turning points appear closer than ever, as though you're viewing the world through a telephoto lens rather than a helmet's visor and steeply-raked windscreen. The empty grandstand and race car pits either side melt into blurry coloured streaks with indiscernible shape or detail as we streak between them. Tunnel vision meets time dilation - a sort of 'slow motion' sensation as your brain captures and processes detail in ultra-high resolution, fuelled by adrenaline, cortisol and an elevated heart rate. Simple physics suggests moving through space at a more rapid rate gives you less time to process information, make decisions, and act. But the reality can be different as your mind hyper-focuses on the threat ahead. In this case, it's not a tiger or soldier, but a wall at Sydney Motorsport Park that will return my Lambo to its elemental carbon atoms. Violently. This is the fastest car I've driven. It's the only car I've tried that soars past 290km/h on the front straight here - and I'm lucky enough to have tried more than a few cars from the likes of Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche and Aston Martin. It's the only car I've sampled with more than one thousand horsepower. Unlike Ferrari, which puts a tiny and turbocharged V6 into its fastest car, Lamborghini has resisted calls to downsize its halo model in a drive for greener and more socially acceptable motoring. Like the other bulls in its bloodline - the Miura, Countach, Diablo, Murcielago and Aventador - the Lamborghini Revuelto has a massive V12 bolted behind the driver's shoulders. Capable of revving to 9500rpm, the big motor makes 607kW of power. The rest of the car's 757kW stems from three 110kW electric motors - one driving each of the front wheels, and one wedged between the engine and transmission - that transform the car's behaviour. Flooring the old Aventador in third gear was a bit like pressing play on a favourite rock song - you had to wait a bit for the intro and first verse to unfurl before riding the high of its chorus. The Revuelto is like YouTube - it lets you go straight to the good bit. And those hybrid motors are 'Skip Ad' buttons fast-forwarding you directly to the action. It makes you feel a million bucks. Which is fair, as the car costs $987,000 plus options and on-road costs that push the real-world price tag into seven figures. This staggering experience is more refined than previous efforts, despite being immensely more capable. Starting with the sound, Lambo's latest has a smooth tone closer in nature to the crooning of U2's Bono than Brian Johnson's serrated AC/DC scream. A new dual-clutch transmission shifts far more smoothly than the percussive slap of the old Aventador's single-clutch unit, and sophisticated software linking the motors, rear-wheel-steering, front axle torque vectoring and electronic suspension let you exploit the car in new ways. Old Lamborghinis were the embodiment of the brand's raging bull badge - magnificent and dangerous machines that you had to grab by the horns to avoid being gored or trampled. Carry the brake pedal too deep into a corner and the old Aventador's huge V12 would try to overtake you, taking the rear-end with it while threatening to spin out of control. It required caution that isn't necessary in the Revuelto. You can hustle the new machine with confidence it won't bite, digging in to enjoy outrageous performance as it shrinks around you. Consistent controls and predictable reactions make Revuelto feel like you're working with a willing partner, not fighting a force of nature. But you couldn't say it's boring. Those outrageous proportions, showstopping looks and interplanetary performance mean that a determined drive in the Lambo will be one you never forget.

Channel 10's Perth to east coast move ‘tip of the iceberg' warns expert Rob McKnight
Plans to move some off-air roles at Channel 10's Perth newsroom to the east coast are 'the tip of the iceberg' and will ultimately mean less local coverage, leading TV commentator and experienced producer Rob McKnight has warned. Mr McKnight, co-creator of industry news website TV Blackbox, said although viewers may not immediately notice the difference, it would have an effect on local stories. He also suggested further consolidation by the network's foreign owner Paramount was likely, after plans to move editors in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane to Melbourne and Sydney were revealed this week. 'An editor in Sydney or Melbourne is just not going to give a local Perth story the kind of energy they give to a story in their own market,' he said. The West Australian understands that Perth's Channel 10 newsroom was told on Monday that as many as four editor roles would be moved to Sydney and Melbourne by the end of the month. Similar roles in Adelaide and Brisbane have also been affected. It is understood about 10 staff will be offered redeployment to the Eastern States. Channel 10 declined to comment or answer questions, including whether it could commit to having a locally-presented news bulletin. In an email from Paramount's vice president of news Martin White, staff were told of a change to editing workflow to ensure 'greater efficiency' at a challenging time for the media industry. 'No local news gathering, journalism or presentation is impacted by this move in any way,' he said. 'A small number of (operations) roles will be redeployed to Sydney and Melbourne, and those impacted have already been spoken to.' Mr McKnight, a former executive producer of Channel 10's now defunct breakfast panel show, Studio 10, said he thought the changes would be the 'tip of the iceberg' at Channel 10, which recently axed news program The Project. 'I think we are going to see centralisation of Channel 10 continue,' he said. 'You start with editors, then it's graphics, then 'oh we can have our producers in Sydney or Melbourne.' 'You will end up with people in Melbourne or Sydney having a very big say on a story from Perth.' He said there was a big difference in having a local story produced and edited locally. A lack of local knowledge could lead to 'silly mistakes.' It is not the first time Channel 10 has faced questions about its commitment to news in Perth. In 2000 it moved the studio production of the local bulletin to Sydney, before ultimately returning its weekday bulletin to Perth three years later. In September 2020, the Perth bulletin production was again transferred to Sydney, leading to redundancies among local staff. Narelda Jacobs, pictured, started in Perth and moved to Sydney in 2020 to co-host Studio 10 present News from the east coast. Jacobs now presents the national lunchtime and afternoon news bulletins.
