Designed by MSO in consultation with Peter Stevens, the designer of the iconic McLaren F1, the McLaren 650S Le Mans takes a number of details from the 1995 race-winner, most notably the roof-mounted ‘snorkel’ air intake.

The unique ‘Le Mans Edition’ lightweight wheels, 19 inch at the front, 20 inch at the rear, are styled after the motorsport rims fitted to the 1995 GTR racers. These wear the McLaren developed Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres and house carbon ceramic brakes. The front wings feature subtle louvres to reduce pressure over the front wheels increasing downforce.

The McLaren 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 engine has been redesigned for the 650S and now has an 8,500rpm red-line with new pistons, new valves, recalibrated camshaft timing, improved cylinder heads and a new exhaust system which allied to a new ECU improves engine response.

Only 50 examples of the McLaren 650S Le Mans were manufactured, 49 finished in metallic Sarthe Grey inspired by the livery of the Le Mans race-winning McLaren F1 GTR and only one, this car #5474, in Harrods Yellow, an homage to the Harrods F1GTR which finished in 3rd place after leading for many hours!

Taylor and Crawley was founded in 1937 and sold Mercedes-Benz and Alfa Romeo cars from their Mayfair premises. After the war, they became the UK Mercedes-Benz importers and main agents before importing Maseratis and then becoming Alfa Romeo dealers. Scion of the Taylor family, son Michael, was a successful racing driver in the 1950s, being a factory Lotus sports car driver eventually graduating to Grands Prix before his career was cut short by car failure in the tragic Belgium Grand Prix at Spa in 1960. David Clark, already an established purveyor of sports and racing cars, was a friend of Michael Taylor and acquired the company in the 1980s when Michael retired. Since then the company has been prominent in the Historic car market, especially with competition cars.
