Lanzante had a standout moment three decades ago when its McLaren F1 GTR, wearing number 59, finished first at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. That was McLaren’s debut at the French endurance marathon, and seven F1 GTRs took part. Three more landed in the top five. They weren’t the quickest that year, but their BMW V12 stayed the course and outlasted the faster prototype machines. Now there’s a special supercar on the way to mark that anniversary. Lanzante calls it Project 95-59. The name points to the race year and that winning car’s number. It’s said to target 700 horsepower per ton on a McLaren-based platform. There’s room for three people inside, plus a bit of cargo, which is rare in cars this focused on performance. Full specs are under wraps, though we know the team behind the F1-engined Porsche 911 TAG Turbo isn’t shy about lofty ambitions.

It might use the 750S frame, changed enough to squeeze in a three-seat layout that feels like an F1 car. There’s also a chance it’s built off the Speedtail. That model’s 1055bhp hybrid setup and light build match Lanzante’s target of around 700bhp per tonne. Design comes from Paul Howse, who once gave shape to the McLaren P1, 570S, 720S, and Artura. He also worked on Lanzante’s P1 Spider and helped create a restomod Jaguar XK120. Early sketches hint at a Speedtail vibe, which makes sense if they share the same underpinnings. Specifics are still under lock and key, though it’s clear this project aims to blend serious power with a cockpit that stands apart from most supercars. Heading to Goodwood Lanzante says more news is coming soon. The car will have its big reveal at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, set for July 10–13 in 2025. This time, it’s wearing Lanzante’s own badge, a change from past projects tied to Porsche or McLaren. The 911 TAG Turbo started life as a Porsche, and older builds followed McLaren’s lead.

Production is limited, so these won’t be easy to find on city streets. The show is about five months off, which might feel like forever if you’re eager to see this car in action.
