To celebrate its 60th anniversary, McLaren unveiled a 750s whose paintwork commemorates the achievement of holding the Triple Crown.
What is the Triple Crown for someone unfamiliar with motorsport? It is a trio of prestigious victories: the Monaco Grand Prix in Formula 1, the 24 Hours of Le Mans in Endurance, and the Indianapolis 500 in Indycar (formerly CART). Three jewels requiring different qualities: precision, reliability, speed. All challenges where, a few decades ago, death lurked around every bend.
McLaren is the only manufacturer to hold this Triple Crown, and it wanted to remind everyone in its own way. During an event in the United States, a car with anniversary paint was unveiled by drivers Lando Norris, Pato O’Wart, and Derek Bell. Named “3-7-59”, this artwork painted on a 750s commemorates victories achieved in 1974, 1984, and 1995.
Born in September 1963, McLaren celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2023 through several marketing activations. This “3-7-59” required 1,200 hours of painting and will be produced in 6 units… all already sold.
