► Limited-run McLaren-based supercar teased
► Built to honour 30 years since a Le Mans win
► Automotive specialise Lanzante is building it
This is our first look at what Lanzante Limited calls Project 95-59.
What is Lanzante? It’s an automotive business obsessed with McLaren that’s specialised in motorsport as well as restoring and servicing historic sports cars. Lanzante Motorsport was the business that won the 1995 Le Mans event with a McLaren F1 GTR – hence the link.
Project 95-59, which is a nod to the racing number of the F1 GTR as well as the year it won, will be a three-seat limited-run sports car. Makes sense, given the McLaren F1’s history for having the same seat layout with the driver in the centre.
Lanzante says the project ‘has been designed with the driver at the centre of the action, with a focus on engineering, technical, ownership and useability,’ and claims it will have 700bhp per tonne when it launches. That and ‘luggage capacity, and enhanced touring range.’
The sketch is our first look at the new model, with the design of the project being led by Paul Howse – the man who penned the P1.
We’ll see the real thing when the Project 95-59 makes its public debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
