30 years ago, McLaren won the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a GT1 car based on the iconic McLaren F1. The brand is still two years out from its next attempt to win the race overall, but in the meantime, the brand is celebrating its past triumphs with a special edition of the 750S. Dubbed the 750S Le Mans Special Edition, the limited-run variant of McLaren's big V-8 supercar is set apart by a high-downforce kit developed by the in-house custom group MSO.

Last month, Porsche shared a video celebrating the one-off road-going 917 prototype of the 1970s. That ended with a silhouette of the brand's current 963 prototype, teasing a potential road-going variant of that car. On Thursday, the brand went one step further with another teaser video — one suggesting a reveal of a one-off 963 road car could be imminent.
