The model serves as a direct tribute to the champion car driven by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, incorporating design elements and details that refer to that year’s victorious campaign.
Based on the already impressive Artura Spider, the convertible supercar combines a twin-turbo V6 engine with an electric powertrain, delivering exceptional performance. The special edition raises the bar on exclusivity with handcrafted finishes and collectibles that make it a coveted piece among enthusiasts and collectors. The onboard technology and performance are complemented by unique details that tell the team’s story.
Among the main features that distinguish this edition, the following stand out:

A design that takes you directly to the slopes
The look of the MCL39 Championship Edition was designed by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the brand’s customization division. The body features a combination of Myan Orange and Onyx Black colors, applied manually to ensure a fluid and precise transition that highlights the vehicle’s aerodynamic lines, evoking the visual identity of the Fórmula 1 team.
To complement the color scheme, the model includes the Black Pack, which adds darkened finishes to several external parts, giving a more aggressive appearance. The ten-spoke Dynamo forged wheels are painted in gloss black, housing brake calipers in McLaren’s iconic orange color, a detail that does not go unnoticed.
Details that tell the team’s story
One of the most significant elements of the design are the ten hand-painted emblems located in front of the rear wheels. Cada one of these symbols represents one of the team’s constructors’ titles, with graphic elements such as laurels and stars that celebrate specific victories throughout the British team’s rich history on the track.
The visual package is completed by a sports exhaust system with black outlets, which not only contributes to the imposing aesthetics, but also enhances the sound of the V6 engine, providing an even more engaging and exciting driving experience for the driver.
The nomenclature of the special edition was not chosen at random. The name MCL39 is a direct reference to the chassis code of the single-seater that dominated the 2025 Fórmula 1 season, the car that took the team back to the top of the category.
It was with this vehicle that Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri accumulated victories and crucial points, ensuring that the team returned to the pinnacle of motorsport after a long period of reconstruction and continued technical development.
Interior with the champions’ signature
Inside the vehicle, the connection with the riders becomes even more evident and personal. The door sills were extended with carbon fiber pieces that display the original signatures of Norris and Piastri, engraved by hand, a detail that gives inestimable value to each of the ten units produced.
Next to each autograph are the drivers’ respective race numbers: 4 for Lando Norris and 81 for Oscar Piastri. Este touch personalizes each copy, creating a direct link between the owner and the heroes of the victorious season.
The cabin of the Artura Spider MCL39 has been designed to reflect a focus on performance and exclusivity. The seats are mostly covered in black Alcantara, a lightweight material that offers excellent grip, ideal for sporty driving.
High performance finish in the cabin
Contrasting orange stitching runs throughout the interior with a precise pattern, echoing the external visual identity and reinforcing the racing cockpit atmosphere. Nos headrests, an embroidery with the number 10 in McLaren Orange symbolizes the tenth constructors’ title, a constant reminder of the achievement that inspired the vehicle.
Additionally, dedicated plaques on the center console and elsewhere in the cabin list important statistics from the victorious season, such as the number of pole positions, victories and fastest laps achieved by the team. Esses details transform the interior into a true time capsule, celebrating one of the most important moments in McLaren’s recent history.
The hybrid heart of the supercar
The heart of the Artura Spider MCL39 Championship Edition maintains the sophisticated powertrain of the standard model, which already stands out as one of the most advanced in its category. The centrally positioned 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine works in perfect harmony with an axial-flow electric motor. Juntos, they deliver a combined power of 690 horsepower and a torque of 720 Nm, guaranteeing impressive acceleration and immediate responses. Power is managed by an eight-speed automatic transmission that directs it to the rear wheels, allowing the supercar to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3 seconds. The carbon fiber monocoque chassis, a McLaren signature, guarantees high structural rigidity and contained weight, even in the convertible version, which translates into agility and precision in corners. Top speed is electronically limited to 330 km/h, while technologies such as the carbon-ceramic braking system and adaptive suspension ensure total control in any situation.
Exclusivity and production of the commemorative edition
McLaren has confirmed that availability of the Artura Spider MCL39 Championship Edition is extremely restricted. Todas the ten units were destined for loyal customers and collectors pre-selected by the brand, and the company did not disclose the official transaction values. Como reference, the standard Artura Spider has a starting price of approximately 273 thousand dollars in the North American market, a value that is certainly surpassed by the commemorative edition. Construction of each example takes place at McLaren’s facilities at Woking, at Inglaterra.
