Lanzante's McLaren F1 GTR Tribute Is Almost Here With The Perfect Name
Lanzante Selects A Meaningful Name Lanzante Limited is a fantastic company that can convert Porsche 935 racecars into road-going beasts and put real Formula 1 engines in old sports cars. But now the company wants to create something even more special. As with past projects, its latest creation will be based on an existing vehicle that will be converted into something far more special and exclusive, and the company has now selected a name for its three-seater, which will pay tribute to the Lanzante-run McLaren F1 GTR that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans 30 years ago with the race number 59. Just 59 cars will pay tribute to that achievement in 1995, hence the name 95-59. Alongside revealing the name, Lanzante also shared a glimpse of the car, and it looks fantastic. 0:09 / 0:09 2025 Ford Maverick: 4 reasons to love it, 2 reasons to think twice Watch More Lanzante Targeting 700 HP Per Ton Lanzane has revealed very little about its performance goals for the car, but we do know that a figure of 700 horsepower per ton is being targeted. With limited editions like these, the design and exclusivity are more important than world-beating performance figures, but that target suggests that weight will still be watched closely. The company says that it is focusing on making this a usable supercar, and it'll be more practical than whatever it's based on. That's because, like the F1, the 95-59 will have a three-seat layout with the driver in the center of the cockpit. That interior layout might suggest that the 95-59 is based on the McLaren Speedtail, but that's a 106-unit special edition of its own, and Lanzante would never be able to convince more than half the owners to chop up their special Mac. And although Lanzante wants to offer 'extended cruising range,' there has been no mention of a hybrid system. The final point to make in this respect is that a company capable of creating cars as exclusive as this would have little trouble remodeling an interior, especially if the base car is affordable (or as affordable as a supercar can be). So what do we think it is? McLaren Designer Penning 95-59 Lanzante's new car is designed by Paul Howse, who was directly involved in the creation of the P1, P1 GTR, and 720S, the latter of which has since been replaced by the almost identical 750S. We think the 95-59 will be based on this 740-hp V8 supercar. The cheaper and less powerful Artura hybrid can't be discounted, but a V6 just doesn't seem like the right fit for something as rare and noteworthy as this. Especially when it looks this crazy.

The car is painted Ueno Grey, the same hue as the #59 F1 GTR mentioned at the outset, but what we can see of the design seems to look to the future more than the past.

Details remain scarce, but Lanzante has revealed that the 95-59 will feature a three-seat layout with the driver positioned centrally, echoing the iconic McLaren F1.

Lanzante LM30 Edition Teased Ahead of Goodwood Debut, Honors McLaren F1 GTR Legacy
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector Lanzante has revealed the first design sketch of its latest hypercar, the LM30 Edition, ahead of its public debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The limited-production model pays tribute to the 30th anniversary of the McLaren F1 GTR's historic victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995. The LM30 Edition was privately unveiled to a select group of clients, though the broader automotive world will have to wait until Goodwood to see it in full. The official sketch, designed by automotive stylist Paul Howse, showcases a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette featuring a smooth canopy, hinting at a central driving position reminiscent of the McLaren F1 and Speedtail. Lanzante refers to the project internally as 'Project 95-59,' suggesting a bespoke-engineered model based on an existing McLaren platform. While specific technical details remain undisclosed, the company has revealed its ambitious performance target—achieving a power-to-weight ratio of 700 horsepower per tonne, ensuring extreme agility and speed. Additionally, the LM30 Edition is expected to offer an enhanced touring range, potentially making it more practical for long-distance driving compared to other hypercars in its class. Lanzante has a long history of modifying and enhancing McLaren models, including road-legal conversions of McLaren P1 GTRs and track-focused LM variants. With the LM30 Edition, the firm aims to blend race-bred performance with modern engineering, creating a tribute worthy of the legendary McLaren F1 GTR's endurance racing triumph. More details on the LM30 Edition's specifications and production numbers are expected in the coming weeks, leading up to its highly anticipated debut at Goodwood. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter
