Vehicle Description
Having already earned an outstanding victory record in Can-Am,
Formula One and USAC Championship racing, McLaren finally contested
the FIA World Sportscar Championship in the mid-1990s with its F1
GTR, derived from the company's first true road model, the F1.
Marking the 20th Anniversary of its electrifying 1995 24 Hours of
Le Mans win, McLaren Special Operations (MSO) released a limited
50-car 650S Le Mans Edition in 2015. Of them, 46 were finished in
Sarthe Grey, two in yellow, one in white and this car, the only one
in McLaren Orange. Additional F1 GTR-inspired enhancements include
the snorkel-type roof intake, vented front fenders, F1 GTR-style
wheels, Le Mans Edition badging, two-tone seating surfaces, Le
Mans-branded floor mats and Interior Pack adding carbon-fiber
inserts to the center stack and door panels. Other special features
include an Active Rear Aero Spoiler, orange brake calipers and
high-gloss carbon side air intakes. Priced new with a $362,040
MSRP, it produces 640hp and 500 ft/lbs of torque, yielding
staggering performance, including 0-60 acceleration in 2.9 seconds,
the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds and 207 mph flat out. Other
highlights include full factory warranty coverage (extended through
January 2, 2021), fully integrated K-40 radar detector, jammer and
laser detector, front vehicle-lift system, a McLaren trickle
charger, clear bra paint protection, an original 650S Le Mans
Edition car cover and Le Mans-branded floor mats. All mandated
warranty and recall work is complete. It has 3,799 actual miles.
Documentation includes the original Owner's Manuals, a clean CARFAX
vehicle-history report and original Window Sticker. With its
strictly limited 50-car production run, the McLaren 650S Le Mans
Edition is already extremely rare at auction. As the only example
produced in McLaren Orange, this bespoke "race car with a license
plate" will certainly mark a true occasion for smart collectors and
marque enthusiasts alike when it crosses the auction block in
Scottsdale. From The Scott Thomas Collection.
