McLaren Special Operations (MSO) is known for creating some of the most limited edition models yet, and the Sabre is one of them. Limited to just 15-units worldwide, this hypercar shares its roots with the Senna, McLaren’s most track-focused model yet, but over 70% of the parts are unique to the Sabre.
The LEGO Technic (42141) McLaren Formula 1 Race Car is a must have for any racing fan, as it’s not just a static set. It’s modeled after its real-life counterpart, complete with a V6 cylinder engine that boasts moving pistons, steering that can be activated from the cockpit, as well as a suspension and a differential lock.
For those who don’t follow McLaren, the M8A was essentially a race car developed by driver Bruce McLaren and his racing team for their entry in 1968 Can-Am season. The M8A was the vehicle that started it all and its following successors dominated Can-Am racing for four consecutive racing seasons, until the arrival of the Porsche 917. To pay tribute, industrial designer Yosuke Yamada came up with the McLaren Can-Am Homage.
Novitec has been known to tune the world’s most exclusive automobiles for decades, and their latest project is definitely no slouch. Starting from the outside, they gave the McLaren GT a new aerodynamic-enhancement kit and paired it with a staggered combination of 20 / 21-inch forged Vossen wheels. If you want to ride a little closer to the ground, sport springs lower the supercar by 25 millimeters.

Until this vehicle surfaced, finding a 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail was a near impossible task, as most are being safely stored in collections worldwide. Only 10 of the 28 McLaren F1 GTR race cars were are Longtails, and this fine specimen, chassis #19R, is being offered by Tom Hartley JNR in the U.K. Why are they called Longtails? It’s because of their stretched bodywork, most noticeably at the rear.
