TOKYO: McLaren Automotive has unveiled the 750S JC96 – a Japan-only limited-edition of the McLaren 750S that pays homage to the McLaren F1 GTRs that competed in the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC), winning the Driver’s Championship in 1996.
Just 61 cars will be available to customers, reflecting the race number of the Championship-winning car.
Additionally, the 750S JC96 celebrates McLaren’s legacy in Japan and its status as a luxury supercar brand admired for individuality and track-inspired performance.
The first McLaren limited-edition car to be offered only in Japan, the 750S JC96 is distinguished by its blend of unique paint in reference to the livery of the Team Goh F1 GTRs that competed in the 1996 JGTC campaign, alongside F1 GTR inspired interior features, plus a new ultra-lightweight 15-spoke forged alloy wheel.
The car is available as a coupe or a Spider, marking the first application of the 750S MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK) on an open-top variant of the McLaren 750S.
The F1 GTRs entered jointly by McLaren and Team Goh featured a distinctive ‘Tiger Stripe’ design blending the Rocket Pink and Tarmac Grey paintwork, and every 750S JC96 is offered with paint informed by the design of this livery.
Unique details are applied to the front splitter, rear wing endplates, and door mirror casings.
These details are available in Memphis Red, Titanium Silver, Ice White and Graphite Grey; the four colours have been carefully chosen to combine with the wide palette of paints that 750S JC96 customers can choose from for the car body colour.
Customers can also explore a unique paint for their car through the MSO Bespoke paint programme.
The ultra-exclusive JC96 Tribute Livery takes these unique Tiger Stripe paint details further, across the whole vehicle body.
It is a hand painted, full livery delivered by MSO, the option of which will be strictly limited to just four customer cars.
“The 750S JC96 is our love letter to McLaren in Japan. Our Japanese clients demand track-inspired performance but without compromising on the tailor-made personalisation and attention to detail that truly makes a McLaren their McLaren," said McLaren Automotive chief commercial officer Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer.
"The 750S JC96 blends these demands perfectly, while offering for the first time the enhanced track performance of the MSO HDK with the sensations delivered by a benchmark beating convertible supercar for those who opt for a 750S JC96 Spider,” he added.
