McLaren won its ninth Formula 1 Constructor’s Championship last season, a testament to its current and former racing prowess. McLaren is still celebrating, in fact, with new exclusive editions of its Artura and 750S supercars with parts inspired by their F1 win.

The MCL38 Celebration Edition Artura and MCL38 Celebration Edition 750S are both signed by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, McLaren’s F1 drivers in 2024. Only nine of each car will be produced, McLaren says, with a livery that looks an awful lot like their F1 car, featuring McLaren’s famous papaya and anthracite.

Each version of the Artura and 750S—the Spider version of the latter was Robb Report’s 2025 Car of the Year—will feature a plaque commemorating the F1 championship, made in part from bodywork from the marque’s 2024 F1 car.

The signatures of Norris and Piastri are visible on the interior, on a sill cover on the seat headrest, along with a champions’ laurel. There are actually two plaques on each car, one made in part with the carbon-fibre bodywork from the F1 race car, and another plaque that McLaren calls a “track record plaque.” That one is perhaps more interesting, since it lists every pole position, race win, and fastest lap time from a McLaren car in the 2024 season.

The MCL38 Celebration Edition 750S features a couple more papaya accents, and both the 750S and the Artura have the number nine in a star logo. Under the hood, the Artura isn’t different from other versions of it, powered by a 3-litre V-6 hybrid powertrain, while the 750S has a 4-litre twin-turbocharged V-8.

McLaren did not announce the pricing of the MCL38 Celebration Edition Artura or the MCL38 Celebration Edition 750S, but the Artura starts at around US$250,000 (approximately HK$1.94 million), and the 750S starts at around US$318,000 (approximately HK$2.47 million). So buyers of the MCL38 Celebration Edition cars can expect a hefty premium on top of that.

All 18 of the cars are likely already spoken for anyway, since McLaren buyers tend to be fans of McLaren’s F1 team, and there aren’t many better ways to celebrate McLaren’s constructor’s championship triumph than with a new McLaren. For future observers trying to discern which trim Artura or 750S they are looking at, the star-logo nine should be the most immediate giveaway.
