In 1996, the racing team won the Driver\u2019s Championship with the McLaren F1 GTR.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly three decades later, the occasion will be marked with 61 cars exclusively available to customers in Japan. Each car will wear a unique &#8216;Tiger Stripe&#8217; livery that calls back to the F1 GTR, as well as interior details and ultra-lightweight 15-spoke forged alloy wheels inspired by the race car.<\/p>\n<p>On the outside, every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/mclaren\/750s\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"1\" data-params=\"%7B%22make_alias%22%3A%22mclaren%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22750s%22%7D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">750S<\/a> JC96 wears unique details on the front splitter, rear wing, and door mirror casings. Customers will be able to choose from a variety of colors, including Memphis Red, Titanium Silver, Ice White, and Graphite Grey. If you have eccentric taste, you can choose a more unique color through the company\u2019s bespoke paint program.<\/p>\n<p>Other tells of the JC96 include gloss black elements on the roof and rear diffuser. Gold brake calipers with a red McLaren logo complete the exterior. Inside, a complete Alcantara makeover completes the cabin, as well as embroidered \u2018JC96\u2019 branding on the headrests. There is a gold plaque commemorating the Driver\u2019s Championship victory, with more gold elements sprinkled throughout, including the pedals.<\/p>\n<p>                            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motor1.com\/photos\/912195\/mclaren-750s-jc96-special-edition\/#8250935_mclaren-750s-jc96-special-edition\" class=\"msnt-photo-thumb-gallery-main-photo-box\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"McLaren 750S JC96 Special Edition\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                            <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                    14                                <\/p>\n<p>\n                            Source: McLaren                        <\/p>\n<p>The JC96 can be ordered as either a coupe or the Spider. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/mclaren\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"2\" data-params=\"%7B%22alias%22%3A%22mclaren%22%7D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">McLaren<\/a> notes its Special Operations High Downforce Kit can be added to the open-top variant for the first time. This includes a revised front bumper to accommodate the larger splitter, an active rear spoiler, and a louvred under-wing panel. In all, this kit should produce 10 percent more downforce compared to the standard 750S.<\/p>\n<p>McLaren mentioned no change to the drivetrain. So anticipate the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 to continue producing 740 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Every 750S uses a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. That should ensure a top speed of 206 miles per hour.<\/p>\n<p>There is no mention of a timeline for release. As this is a tribute to McLaren\u2019s 1996 racing season, it\u2019s a safe bet to anticipate deliveries to commence in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This week, McLaren unveiled the JC96, a limited edition of the 750S that commemorates McLaren\u2019s participation in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143279,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,97308,97307,97309,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-143278","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-coupe","11":"tag-mclaren-750s","12":"tag-special-editions","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
