One of the rarest modern McLaren cars is heading to auction in Japan. The 750S MCL38 Celebration Edition is the only example allocated to the Japanese market, part of an extremely limited worldwide production run of just nine cars.
Commissioned by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the special edition celebrates the brand’s victory in the 2024 Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship. Finished in Papaya Orange and Anthracite, its livery takes inspiration from the championship-winning MCL38 race car. There is also a much-evident number 9 graphic that is made up of nine stars, and it marks McLaren’s ninth constructors’ title.
There are a few more details that make this car particularly special. It carries the signatures of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, McLaren F1 racing drivers, while a commemorative plaque incorporates genuine bodywork from the MCL38.
Powering this car is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 750 PS / 740 hp and 800 Nm / 590 lb ft of torque. Showing just 1,295 km (804 miles), the car has an estimated auction value of ¥63–65 million, which is around $394,379 to $406,899.
