McLaren Artura 1000GP by MSO Created to Celebrate McLaren Racing's Historic 1,000th Formula 1 Grand Prix

To commemorate the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team's 1,000th Grand Prix at the Monaco GP, McLaren Special Operations (MSO) has created the McLaren Artura 1000GP.

Limited to just 10 customer cars, it celebrates a significant moment in McLaren Racing's illustrious history with a unique livery.

Details include special pinstripes and an anodized metallic Papaya commemorative plate, creating a collectible and unique package.

McLaren Automotive announced the McLaren Artura 1000GP by MSO to celebrate McLaren Racing's 1,000th Formula 1 race entry at the 2026 Monaco GP.

The exterior of the McLaren Artura 1000GP by MSO is inspired by the unique and distinctive special livery of the McLaren MCL40 driven by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at Monaco for the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team.

This limited package by MSO features an exterior livery that pays homage to the journey to the 1,000-race milestone. It embodies the team's indomitable spirit, facing challenges head-on with the McLaren mindset, growing stronger through adversity and moving forward.

"At McLaren, we have always built racing cars and road cars with the same mindset. The McLaren Artura 1000GP by MSO was born to celebrate that common foundation. It expresses the environment Bruce created, an environment where everyone is ambitious, pursues engineering excellence, and unites to move forward. With this shared goal, we continue to build models that carry on his legacy. The McLaren Artura 1000GP by MSO is a testament to that legacy, a model that meaningfully connects the MCL40 and our customers at this commemorative moment."

Nick Collins, CEO, McLaren Group Holdings

The 1000GP graphics are applied to the Artura's bonnet, lower side body, and wing mirror casings by the skilled craftspeople at MSO.

The front splitter and rear diffuser feature pinstripe details in accent colors inspired by McLaren's past liveries. Inside, a dedicated metallic Papaya commemorative plate is fitted, engraved with McLaren Racing's great achievement.

McLaren's history began in 1963. Bruce McLaren founded the team with a small, independent crew, with a clear philosophy of moving quickly, working together, and building something better. More than 60 years later, the same mindset continues to drive the business.

McLaren Racing's 1,000th Formula 1 entry is a feat achieved by only the second team in history. During that time, the team has won 10 Constructors' Championships and over 200 race victories. This special Artura pays tribute to every race and every act of teamwork that led to this point.
