McLaren, known for its supercars and hypercars today, initially made a name for itself in the world of racing. Its first road car, the F1, was introduced in the 1990s. Afterward, McLaren ventured into road car manufacturing in the late 2000s with the introduction of the MP4-12C.
However, McLaren’s roots are firmly planted in racing. The McLaren Elva, part of the brand’s Ultimate Series, exemplifies the brand’s racing focus. It features a twin-turbocharged V8 engine like many of McLaren’s supercars, but what sets it apart is its open-top barchetta-style body, which lacks a roof and windshield.
The McLaren Elva available for sale at O’Gara Coach Beverly Hills McLaren/Rolls-Royce pays homage to the brand’s racing history. It features the historic Gulf Oil livery, a light blue and orange color scheme commonly seen on successful historic race cars. Additionally, the car references McLaren F1 driver Lando Norris, with his last name displayed on each side and a map of Monaco’s street circuit on the door sill. Norris achieved a third-place finish in the legendary Monaco Grand Prix in 2021. Furthermore, the dashboard bears Norris’s signature, and the interior carries the Gulf color scheme with orange piping and blue stitching.
