Las Vegas-themed 750S pays tribute to Bruce McLaren and F1 success
Words: Andrew Sluys
McLaren Special Operations (MSO) has unveiled a one-off version of the 750S supercar, dedicated to the upcoming Formula 1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas.
Adorned with “Easter Eggs” celebrating McLaren’s racing success over the last few decades, there’s a focus on Bruce McLaren’s achievements.
Positioned front and centre, within a heart motif on the front bumper is a homage to Bruce McLaren’s 1970 racing helmet, with which he wore during his final season racing.
On the front right guard, the Muriwai Hill Climb trophy (the first race he won) is displayed alongside his racing number for the race.
Within this trophy is a hand-painted motif depicting Bruce McLaren’s Muriwai house (in Walton-on-Thames), which is finished in Muriwai White — an official MSO colour.
A speedy Kiwi can be found on the left of the car, which symbolises “the brand’s journey from heritage to modern-day innovation.”
Alongside these tributes to the brand’s Kiwi roots, there is a plethora of Las Vegas landmarks displayed across the supercar’s panels. These include the desert, a pyramid, and a bunch of stars, which represent the US flag.
