Automotive enthusiasts are often enamoured with the nostalgic past,
yearning for the "Golden Years" of automobiles when aerodynamics
were a footnote, safety sometimes an afterthought, but radical
designs resulted in some of the most beautiful cars of the 20th
century. In the 1960s McLaren came up with the McLaren-Elva, the
open-top racer that helped establish McLaren as a commercial and
racing force before they began full scale production programs.
Lightweight, high power, and with excellent proportions, McLaren
had a winner on their hands. Fast forward to the 21st century, and
modern-day McLaren announced their newest McLaren Elva, an open-top
street car built as the homage to the original 60s car.
Unveiled in 2019, McLaren created the Elva as the pinnacle of
open-air driving, encouraging your senses to take everything in
from the open cockpit with massive power behind you. A familiar 802
horsepower 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine propels the featherweight car
forward in astounding fashion, under 3 seconds for 0-60mph and 6.7
seconds for 0-124mph. The carbon fiber chassis, bespoke to the
Elva, helps the nimble car stay lightweight, tipping the scales at
2,809 lbs and is one of the lightest cars Mclaren has ever
produced. McLaren, no strangers to the magic of aerodynamics,
created a special automotive system called Active Air Management
for the speedster. This system channels air over the cockpit,
creating a bubble of calmer air that reduces turbulence and
enjoyment at higher speeds. Building just 149 examples worldwide,
the Elva is an exceptionally rare vehicle that was made for the
driving enthusiast with a special nod to McLaren's past.
This 2021 McLaren Elva was specifically built in mind of honoring
McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo's 2021 Formula 1 Monza victory,
complete in matching livery, a true "one-of-one" design. The owner,
a fan of Formula 1, McLaren, and Daniel Ricciardo, worked closely
with the McLaren factory to create a true 1-of-1 creation, complete
in matte Papaya Spark paint with matching side graphics, and
painted numbers. The factory options list is nothing short of
extraordinary, with $294,465 in custom options. Those options are
listed on the original window sticker and below.
Upon completion, McLaren surprised Daniel Ricciardo and Lando
Norris with 2 McLaren Elvas, both in their own unique liveries at
Woking. Seeing them for the 1st time in their respective colors was
captured in a promotional video by McLaren, Daniel Ricciardo
suggested that they sign their respective cars. Hopping into the
passenger's seat, the "Honey Badger" signed the carbon fiber
dashboard and described his signature at that moment, "That's a
good one." Described as one of his proudest F1 achievements, Monza
became the 8-time race winner's final Formula 1 victory before
retiring at the end of the 2024 season.
After the festivities had ended, the caretaker had the entire Elva
wrapped in paint protection film to preserve the Matte Papaya Spark
paint, and drove the car sparingly. Upon arriving at Canepa, it was
apparent that it was kept in exceptional condition. Today the car
is in brand new condition, with only 257 miles. Included with the
car are its original window sticker, matching helmets, car cover,
cabin cover, books, tools, and 2 keys. Ready for a speedster
experience, this 2021 McLaren Elva is one of the most special
examples of just 149 built for the entire world, forever dedicated
to McLaren's former F1 driver, Daniel Ricciardo.
