Lanzante has revealed the first design sketch of its latest hypercar, the LM30 Edition, ahead of its public debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The limited-production model pays tribute to the 30th anniversary of the McLaren F1 GTR’s historic victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995.
The LM30 Edition was privately unveiled to a select group of clients, though the broader automotive world will have to wait until Goodwood to see it in full. The official sketch, designed by automotive stylist Paul Howse, showcases a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette featuring a smooth canopy, hinting at a central driving position reminiscent of the McLaren F1 and Speedtail.
Lanzante refers to the project internally as ‘Project 95-59,’ suggesting a bespoke-engineered model based on an existing McLaren platform. While specific technical details remain undisclosed, the company has revealed its ambitious performance target—achieving a power-to-weight ratio of 700 horsepower per tonne, ensuring extreme agility and speed. Additionally, the LM30 Edition is expected to offer an enhanced touring range, potentially making it more practical for long-distance driving compared to other hypercars in its class.
Lanzante has a long history of modifying and enhancing McLaren models, including road-legal conversions of McLaren P1 GTRs and track-focused LM variants. With the LM30 Edition, the firm aims to blend race-bred performance with modern engineering, creating a tribute worthy of the legendary McLaren F1 GTR’s endurance racing triumph.
More details on the LM30 Edition’s specifications and production numbers are expected in the coming weeks, leading up to its highly anticipated debut at Goodwood.
