Lanzante 95-59: The Rare Three-Seater Supercar That Reimagines the McLaren 750S
Introduction
Some cars are fast. Some are rare. And then there’s the Lanzante 95-59 — a three-seat, driver-focused supercar that blends McLaren engineering with Lanzante’s race-winning pedigree. Inspired by the legendary McLaren F1 and built on the McLaren 750S platform, this isn’t just a rebody — it’s a complete reimagination. Limited to just 59 units worldwide, the 95-59 is as much a collector’s dream as it is a driver’s fantasy.
Exterior Design: Sculpted for Speed
At first glance, the 95-59 shares the silhouette of the 750S, but closer inspection reveals a shrink-wrapped, more aggressive stance. The nose features a deep carbon-fibre inset, giving a three-dimensional edge, while the wide front scoop channels airflow for maximum performance.
Down the sides, the layered carbon pod sections, frameless doors, and pillar-mounted mirrors nod to the McLaren F1’s heritage. The 20-inch forged wheels, wrapped around high-performance brakes, hint at the car’s track-ready DNA. At the rear, the active aero wing, central exhaust, and massive diffuser complete the race-bred aesthetic.
Interior: The Central Throne
Step inside and you’re greeted by the driver’s seat placed dead centre, flanked by two slightly rearward passenger seats — a layout designed for perfect weight balance and unparalleled visibility.
The carbon tub has been redesigned to accommodate this seating arrangement without compromising safety or comfort. Controls fall naturally to hand, while visibility is race-car sharp. Even with its performance focus, the 95-59 retains usable luggage space in the nose and enough range for grand touring thanks to a 75-litre fuel tank.
Performance: 850 Horses, 1,250 Kilograms
Power comes from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, tuned to produce over 850hp. Paired with a 1,250kg kerb weight and rear-wheel drive, the result is ferocious acceleration and razor-sharp handling.
The lightweight construction and aerodynamic refinement mean the 95-59 isn’t just about brute force — it’s about driver connection, the sensation of being at the heart of the machine, and the purity of non-hybrid performance.
Lanzante Heritage: Racing Pedigree on the Road
Lanzante isn’t just another coachbuilder — they’re the 1995 Le Mans winners with McLaren F1 GTR #59. They’ve converted P1 GTRs for the road, built insane one-off hypercars, and even worked on making Formula 1-powered Porsches street-legal.
The 95-59’s name itself is a tribute — 95 for the year of their Le Mans victory, and 59 for the winning race number.
Exclusivity & Price
With only 59 units planned, each priced around £1.3 million in the UK, the 95-59 is far more accessible than a McLaren F1 or Speedtail, yet rarer than most modern hypercars.
Conclusion
The Lanzante 95-59 isn’t trying to be the next McLaren F1 — it’s carving its own place in automotive history. With its central driving position, lightweight engineering, and limited production, it’s a driver’s car for those who demand something truly unique.
