McLaren Automotive and McLaren Racing have unveiled a groundbreaking initiative titled “Project: Endurance,” an unprecedented opportunity for a select group of enthusiasts to own and engage with an authentic Le Mans Hypercar. Designed in tandem with McLaren’s FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) entry for 2027, this bespoke programme is more than just vehicle ownership—it offers customers an immersive experience in McLaren’s historic journey to reclaim motorsport’s Triple Crown. With Project: Endurance, participants will not only gain access to the 2027 Hypercar itself but also unparalleled involvement in its development, testing, and racing campaigns. This marks an ambitious fusion of cutting-edge automotive engineering and elite customer interaction.
The Project: Endurance Hypercar boasts a race-built V6 twin-turbo hybrid powertrain, crafted in collaboration with Dallara, a premier constructor in motorsport engineering. Through this partnership, McLaren ensures every element of the vehicle reflects its commitment to performance and precision. Those selected for the programme will enjoy unprecedented behind-the-scenes access into McLaren Endurance Racing’s preparation for the WEC debut, providing unique insights into the technical and strategic aspects of competitive racing. In addition to witnessing the journey from the garage to the track, customers will actively participate in an elite two-year driving programme across world-class race circuits, guided by McLaren’s professional drivers and race engineers.
This exclusive ownership opportunity goes beyond the track. Project: Endurance customers will share McLaren’s ambition to achieve the "Triple Crown"—triumphing in the Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a single season. Highlighting this programme is McLaren’s focus on creating a rich cultural connection with its participants, granting them a front-row seat to experience history in the making. Leveraging its legacy of over 190 Grand Prix wins and numerous motorsport championships, McLaren aims to elevate hypercar ownership into an entirely new dimension with Project: Endurance, blending innovation, exclusivity, and immersive racing prestige.
