The McLaren 750S JC96: A Japan-Only Tribute to Motorsport Glory
McLaren has once again proven its ability to fuse motorsport heritage with cutting-edge supercar design. The British marque has unveiled the McLaren 750S JC96, a Japan-exclusive edition of its acclaimed 750S, created to honour McLaren’s iconic success in the 1996 All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC).
Only 61 units will be built, symbolising the race number of the Team Goh McLaren F1 GTR that clinched the Driver’s Championship almost three decades ago. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this makes the JC96 not only a high-performance masterpiece but also an ultra-rare tribute to one of McLaren’s defining motorsport chapters.
Motorsport-Inspired Design
The JC96 draws inspiration from the striking ‘Tiger Stripe’ Rocket Pink and Tarmac Grey livery of the championship-winning F1 GTRs. Customers can opt for detailed paint accents on the splitter, wing endplates, and mirrors in Memphis Red, Titanium Silver, Ice White, or Graphite Grey.
For the most passionate McLaren fans, MSO (McLaren Special Operations) offers a hand-painted JC96 Tribute Livery—a full-body reinterpretation of the legendary stripes, limited to just four cars worldwide.
The exterior is further enhanced with a new Ultra-Lightweight 15-spoke forged alloy wheel, inspired by the wheels of the F1 GTR ‘Longtail,’ alongside gold brake calipers and a titanium-finished central exhaust.
Performance Meets Exclusivity
At its core, the 750S JC96 retains the breathtaking 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, producing 750 PS and delivering class-leading agility thanks to its carbon fibre Monocage II structure and advanced chassis control.
But the JC96 steps further with the MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK), marking its debut on a 750S Spider. This aerodynamic package—featuring an enlarged dual-element splitter, raised active rear spoiler, and louvred under-wing panel—boosts downforce by up to 10%, ensuring sharper handling and even greater track performance.
A Bespoke Interior Tribute
Inside, the JC96’s cabin is dressed in Alcantara® performance interiors with gold-finished pedals, unique JC96 branding, and a dedication plaque that celebrates the car’s racing roots. Customers can select from multiple interior colour themes, while MSO offers additional bespoke touches such as painted paddles, 12 o’clock steering wheel markers, and even a bespoke-painted vehicle key.
This interior isn’t just about luxury—it’s a storytelling space, carrying the spirit of the 1996 F1 GTR while offering the refinement expected from a modern McLaren.
Limited to Japan, Admired Worldwide
With only 61 cars reserved for Japan, the McLaren 750S JC96 highlights the brand’s close connection with Japanese motorsport culture and its discerning customer base. While the car is a market-exclusive, its influence and collectability extend far beyond Japan, making it one of the most desirable McLarens of the modern era.
As Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, McLaren Automotive’s Chief Commercial Officer, explained:
“The 750S JC96 is our love letter to McLaren in Japan… blending enhanced track performance with tailor-made personalisation, it perfectly embodies McLaren’s racing DNA.”

With its rare production run, motorsport-inspired design, and advanced aerodynamics, this model is destined to become a collector’s treasure.
