McLaren has unveiled some of its most intricate bespoke livery to date, via the “3-7-59 Theme” 750S, a continued celebration of its 60-year anniversary, paying homage to its historic Triple Crown victories. Crafted by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), this complex design decorates a special McLaren 750S supercar, revealed by a trio of iconic McLaren drivers. The unveiling took place at the Velocity Invitational at Sonoma Raceway, marking one of the most striking moments in McLaren’s 60th-anniversary celebrations.
The name “3-7-59” signifies the race numbers of the victorious McLaren in each of the Triple Crown events.

This livery is a visual sensation and a storytelling canvas that features more than 20 colors to create its stunning exterior.
