Although the McLaren Racing Formula 1 team is preparing for the new 2026 season, the company’s road car division has revealed a limited-edition to commemorate its success last season.
The Artura Spider MCL39 Championship Edition has been designed in honour of McLaren’s tenth Formula 1 World Constructors’ Championship victory, earned during the 2025 season.
Along with the Drivers’ Championship win for Lando Norris, the Woking-based outfit also claimed a dominant Constructors’ first place ahead of Mercedes-AMG and Red Bull Racing.
A tenth title means McLaren Racing is now second on the list of all-time Formula 1 World Constructors’ Champions, surpassing Williams with nine.
Such a major milestone necessitated a new limited-edition supercar, designed to honour McLaren Racing and the successful MCL39 F1 racer.
Bespoke F1-inspired livery included
Sticking to a theme, the McLaren Artura Spider MCL39 Championship Edition will be limited to just ten examples, all made by McLaren Special Operations (MSO).
A hand-painted exterior livery combines MSO Bespoke Myan Orange with Onyx Black, and sees the addition of special ‘10’ motifs ahead of the rear wheels.
Each motif incorporates ten stars, along with the rendered outline of every McLaren F1 car to win a World Constructors’ Championship.
MSO has added a black exterior package as standard to the Artura Spider, along with ten-spoke Super-Lightweight Dynamo Forged Alloy Wheels in gloss black. More Myan Orange has been used for the calipers of the carbon ceramic brakes.
There are also black McLaren exterior logos, black model badges, and exhaust tailpipes given a ‘Stealth’ finish.
Signed by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri
For the interior, MSO has treated the Artura Spider to seats including unique ‘10’ headrest embroidery in McLaren Orange, plus a steering wheel that features a Myan Orange 12 o’clock marker.
The overall interior is upholstered in Performance Carbon Black Alcantara, and Jet Black Nappa Leather, along with contrasting McLaren Vision Orange piping.
McLaren Formula 1 drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, will place their signatures on the Artura Spider’s extended carbon fibre door sill trims.
Each MCL39 Championship Edition will include a ‘Custom Track Record Plaque’ in the luggage compartment, and an exclusive collectors’ keepsake for each owner.
Buying a piece of McLaren history
McLaren has left the Artura Spider mechanically unaltered for the MCL39 Championship Edition. This means the same hybrid-enhanced twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 as normal, producing 700hp and 531lb ft of torque.
This is not the first time McLaren has used the Artura for a special celebratory model. Last year the MCL38 Edition gained a similar orange and black livery, whilst being limited to only nine examples.
Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, Chief Commercial Officer, McLaren Automotive said: “McLaren is a brand that merges the excitement of Formula 1 racing with a curated experience that matches our clients’ distinctive lifestyles.
“We want the connection our fans feel with our brand to extend beyond the emotional and into the tangible, by making it possible for them to be a part of McLaren history.”
