The McLaren Artura 1000GP by MSO’s exterior takes inspiration from the unique and distinctive livery take-over applied to the McLaren MCL40, driven by McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team Drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in Monaco.
The limited Artura, curated by MSO, includes a bespoke exterior livery created to acknowledge the journey behind this accomplishment. It reflects the perseverance of a team that met challenges head‑on, strengthened through adversity, and continued to push forward with the mindset that has always defined McLaren.
“Racing and road cars have always been shaped by the same mindset at McLaren, and the McLaren Artura 1000GP by MSO celebrates that shared foundation. It reflects the environment Bruce created - an environment built on collective ambition, engineering excellence and a unified approach to progress. Through this shared purpose, our teams continue to craft vehicles that carry his spirit forward. The McLaren Artura 1000GP by MSO is a testament to that legacy and offers our clients a meaningful connection to the MCL40 in a milestone moment.”
Nick Collins, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Group Holdings
Expertly applied by MSO’s highly experienced craftspeople, the 1000GP graphic covers the Artura’s bonnet, lower body sides and wing mirror casings. A contrasting pinstripe detail on the front splitter and rear diffuser inspired by McLaren’s heritage liveries completes the design. Inside, a dedication plaque in a bespoke metallic papaya colour marks McLaren Racing’s exceptional achievement.
The McLaren story began in 1963. Bruce McLaren founded his own team with a small independent crew and a clear philosophy: move quickly, work closely and build better. More than sixty years later, that same mindset continues to shape the business today.
When McLaren Racing enters its 1,000th Formula 1 Grand Prix, it will be only the second team to reach the landmark. In that time, it has secured 10 Constructors’ World Championship titles and more than 200 race wins. This special Artura pays tribute to every single race and the teamwork it took to get there.
