McLaren W1 is open to the public for the first time in the center of the McLaren House. Based on its explosive output, immersive production, and pure connection with the driver, it provides an overwhelming driving experience both on the road and on the circuit. A total of 399 units of customer specifications were provided, and all of them have already been allocated.
With a new 1,275-horsepower V8 hybrid powertrain, it drives the rear wheels, and the W1 is the third model in McLaren's original "1" series lineup, with innovative active aerodynamic technology, including F1-inspired ground-effect technology. At this Goodwood Festival, it will be displayed with the legendary McLaren F1 and McLaren P1™, showing McLaren's DNA shared by three models representing different eras, and the challenging spirit of the brand that has been ahead of its time and broken the existing framework.
McLaren presents two special programs at the 2025 Goodwood Speed Festival to mark the 30th anniversary of winning their first challenge at 24:00 Le Mans. F1 GTR, which won the legendary endurance race, recently returned from the exhibition "McLaren: a Name for Eternity" at the Le Mans Museum and will perform a rare driving performance at the festival. JJ Lehto, one of the three drivers on the winning team at the time, drives the #59 vehicle himself at the Goodwood Hillclime.
The newly introduced 750S Le Mans is also a model that inherited the legacy of winning in 1995. Released in June, the limited-edition supercar will be introduced to customers and brand fans who visit the "McLaren House" during the Goodwood Festival. The 750S Le Mans, which is manufactured only in the world's 50s, is equipped with a new high-down force kit from McLaren Special Operations (MSO) that maximizes circuit performance and downforce, and establishes itself as a true homage to the McLaren F1 LM road car, which is manufactured in a very small amount in commemoration of the legendary Le Mans victory.
McLaren has performed breathtakingly at the Goodwood Speed Festival over the past two years with track-only model Solus GT. From concept to reality, this single-seat Hyper GT has an 840-horsepower, natural inhaler 5.2-liter V10 engine, weighing just under 1,000kg.
Solus GT proved its extreme performance at the 2023 Goodwood Speed Festival by winning the timed Shootout Final, overwhelming the crowd with its intense sound and speed. Last year, it appeared again in the Goodwood Hillclime, and the vehicle driven by two-time F1 world champion Mika Hkkinen was a customer vehicle customized by MSO in the same color as his 1998 championship-winning machine MP4/13. This year, too, McLaren will put the extraordinary supercar's customer vehicles into exhibition and driving, which will showcase MSO's unique customer-tailored possibilities and luxury handcrafted quality.
750S and Atura MCL38 Celebration Edition Supercars participate in Goodwood's dynamic run. The model was unveiled shortly after the McLaren Formula 1 team confirmed the title of the 2024 F1 World Constructor Championship, with only nine limited production per model. The Celebration Edition applied a special livery designed by MSO, focusing on papaya orange and anthology color, which symbolizes McLaren in the world of motorsports.
McLaren also marks the 10th anniversary of the "LT" series, which is remembered for its intense performance in 2025. The "Celebrate LT" campaign, introduced to customers and fans in March this year, has been bringing LT owners together through a retailer-led community event around the world. LT models belonging to the McLaren Heritage Collection will also be displayed at the Goodwood 'Supercar Paddock' and will also participate in dynamic performance driving.
