Chassis No. SBM26ACA6MW815119
Elva No. 119 of 149

Proudly embracing the principles established by Bruce McLaren's original open top racing cars of the 1960s, the McLaren Elva was launched as the company's lightest ever road-car, joining the likes of the F1, P1, Senna, and the Speedtail as the fifth Ultimate Series car to emerge from Woking. With its historical name derived from the French "elle va," or "she goes", the car takes inspiration from their original open-top Group 7 and Can-Am sports prototypes such as the M1A, M1B, and M1C. Transporting enthusiasts to what McLaren describes as "the razor-edge of driver engagement", the open-air 800 horsepower Elva delivers a thrilling experience described as the most agile McLaren ever created.

Crucial to the unique experience provided by the Elva, an industry-first Active Air Management System (AAMS) was developed using sculpted elements to guide high speed air over to the cabin and afford passengers a turbulence-free zone for the driver and passenger. Allowing for maximum comfort, the AAMS system channels air through the car's nose from an inlet in the splitter and re-directs it at a radius of 130 degrees in front of the occupants for what McLaren would label an "oasis of calm" for the passengers. Activating at speeds over 25 miles per hour, this system can also be disabled for track-use, for which the system will instead redirect air to the engine. In addition to the proprietary AAMS system, the Elva also employs an active rear spoiler which can function as an air brake or also in Formula One-style Drag Reduction System (DRS) mode to cut drag and boost acceleration.

Powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, low-mass reciprocating components and a dry-sump lubrication system to deliver 804 horsepower. Equipped with a titanium exhaust system, the Elva produces an intoxicating engine note through its bespoke quad exit exhaust while full-time active suspension and an electro-hydraulic steering work in concert to provide the finest driving dynamics. With all systems working in perfect harmony thanks to Proactive Chassis Control II, the pilot is able to select from multiple different driving modes, from sporty street driving to a full-blown track oriented configuration.

Composed of just three carbon fiber panels, the lightweight bodywork provides a clean, sculpted profile that is heavily inspired by Formula One and represents the next chapter in the McLaren design story. Embodying bold forms, clean lines, and fluid movement, the Elva features a seamless transition between the interior and exterior allowing for stunning proportions from every angle highlighted by machined solid metal and carbon fiber details.

This 2021 McLaren Elva is number 119 of only 149 examples produced and is finished in Silica White. It has been heavily tailored with over $60,000 in bespoke options inside and out, notably featuring McLaren's 5-Spoke Super-Lightweight wheels shod in Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, Red titanium brake calipers, and MSO mirror caps, mid-finisher, and Active Air Management System (AAMS). Without a windshield to block the view of the Elva's cockpit, many of the bespoke appointments of the Elva's interior are easy to spot even without raising the signature McLaren dihedral doors. Its MSO Red leather interior is thoughtfully contrasted with white MSO stitching that seamlessly mirrors the exterior paint, along with Galvanic Gray front and rear brightwork plus many bespoke touches including MSO headrests, steering wheel center marker, binnacle, shift paddles, and floor mats. The interior is further trimmed in Gloss Carbon Fiber; a sophisticated reminder of the Elva's track-focused philosophy and the carbon fiber MonoCage that has underpinned all McLarens since the MP4-12C.

According to its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, this Elva was delivered new in December 2021 to McLaren Charlotte and received its annual services there. It was sold to the consignor in October 2025 and moved to Las Vegas where it continued to receive diligent maintenance, with its last service completed in late November 2025. Even on a diverse roster of all-start models on offer, the Elva ranks as one of McLaren's most unique and innovative models to date; brimming with both rich motorsport history and trailblazing technology. Offered with only 276 miles from new, this extensively-optioned example is at home as a pillar of any highly curated supercar collection and atop the timing screens at the next exclusive track day event.
