Reflecting Gordon’s love for endurance racing and his car’s emphatic 1995 Le Mans win, the Le Mans GTR takes inspiration from one of the world’s greatest road races and delivers contemporary visions of the era’s racers. The interior maintains its exceptional quality despite the car’s significantly track-focused nature. Every driver-centric component is newly designed, with the dashboard, switches, dials, seat cushioning, and pedal pads all completely reimagined.

Exiting between the twin tunnel diffuser, the Le Mans GTR double exhaust is engineered to deliver a deep, harmonically balanced V12 soundtrack. Enhancing this further, the roof mounted ram air intake heightens the Sound of Art experience within the cabin as owners explore and unleash the full 12,100 rpm rev range.

Enhanced Passive Boundary Layer Control allows the sculpted body to achieve exceptionally low drag, while the aero balanced front splitter, deep side skirts, and twin channel rear diffuser combine to deliver maximum ground effect aerodynamics. Completing this high speed, high grip package is a deep, full width rear wing that ensures an optimal balance of downforce and drag for both road and track use.

Every element of the Le Mans GTR supercar reflects Gordon’s philosophy of lightweight engineering art, blending road-going usability with track-inspired performance at the core of every design choice.

“Longtail racing cars perfectly combine aerodynamic benefit and aesthetic balance, I've always loved their mix of considered engineering and flowing design. Our Le Mans GTR timelessly reimagines the longtail racers I’ve admired since I began designing cars, adding contemporary aerodynamics and our exquisitely engineered chassis, engine, and transmission.” - Prof. Gordon Murray CBE

When legends take flight. The S1 LM made an entrance like no other at the amfAR Gala Dinner, descending into Wynn Las Vegas suspended beneath a helicopter. A theatrical display for the ‘Special One’ during an unforgettable night alongside the Las Vegas Formula One Grand Prix

A defining moment for our entire team and for the automotive world. The S1 LM represents everything I have learned in six decades of design – a pure expression of driving perfection, engineering art, and a true return to beauty.

A new record has been set.

The first Gordon Murray S1 LM commission represents something very few modern machines can claim. A direct successor to the McLaren F1 LM, created with a singular purpose. To honor the greatest achievement in Murray’s career and to build the purest expression of his philosophy.

Only five S1 LMs will ever exist. This first commission includes a full collaborative build with Gordon Murray and development driver Dario Franchitti. It carries the traits that define the S1 LM. A 4.3 liter Cosworth V12 producing 700 horsepower at 12,100 rpm. A six speed manual gearbox. A targeted dry weight of 957 kilograms. Carbon fiber surfaces shaped for efficiency and feel, with gold wrapped Inconel exhaust work that recalls the original F1.

The car is more than engineering. Murray created the S1 LM during his battle with cancer, describing it as a reminder of why he builds cars. That personal connection, combined with its lineage to the McLaren F1 LM, fuels its importance among collectors.

During live bidding in Las Vegas, the S1 LM was flown above the city beneath a helicopter, creating one of the most dramatic auction scenes in recent memory.

The result stands as the most expensive new car ever sold at auction, excluding charitable sales. The final price reached $20,630,000 USD. #RMLasVegas
