Le Mans 1995 – Lanzante Wants to Revive Its Achievement

Lanzante is about to undertake one of its most ambitious projects with a tribute to its victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995.

A British structure ultra-specialized in the maintenance and preparation of exceptional vehicles, Lanzante made history at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995 by winning the event under the banner of Kokusai Kaihatsu Racing. With a McLaren F1 GTR entered in the GT category, Lanzante challenged and defeated much more powerful prototypes, achieving a memorable feat in the world of motorsport. Among the key players in this triumph, one cannot forget the French driver Yannick Dalmas, who led the black McLaren to victory, marking the third of his four wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Inspired by the Track

This historic success is the source of inspiration for the “Project 95-59,” a limited series of a model developed on a McLaren platform. This project aims to reflect three decades of experience and emphasizes performance, functionality, and driving pleasure. Among its features are a three-seater layout focused on the driver, optimized luggage capacity, increased travel range, and a target power-to-weight ratio of 700 horsepower per ton.

The design of this exclusive model is by renowned automotive designer Paul Howse. Let’s just hope he is more inspired than he was for his most famous creation, the beastly yet very tortured McLaren P1. Recently unveiled to a group of VIP clients, the “Project 95-59” is set to make its public debut at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it will be one of the highlights.
