McLaren’s Project: Endurance Brings Le Mans Fantasy to Your Garage

If you've ever wondered what it feels like to sit on the FIA WEC grid without putting in the training hours, McLaren has something with your name on it. Dubbed Project: Endurance, their latest endeavor is a golden ticket behind the velvet ropes of Le Mans—but only for those whose bank accounts read like a phone directory.

McLaren is releasing a limited batch of near-race-ready hypercars, developed in parallel with its LMDh-class sports prototypes. This isn’t a mere design flex. Built in collaboration with the legendary engineers at Dallara, these machines will house a hybrid powertrain centered on a twin-turbo V6. This isn't your average city motor—this is an engine that can roar over pit lane chaos.

For the fortunate few who make the cut, a two-year, high-level driver training program awaits, with sessions on some of the world’s most iconic circuits. You'll get a dedicated crew of mechanics, a personal instructor, and an immersive experience that wrings the last millisecond out of every braking zone and apex. It’s not just a car—it’s a motorsport immersion, starting with your choice of engine note and ending with private dinners just beyond the pit lane.

The first drives are scheduled for 2026, naturally in the UK—the spiritual home of both McLaren and motorsport. And when the track day ends, your evening winds down in an exclusive banquet hall, perhaps next to someone whose car costs more than your home.
