2026 McLaren Race Cars Under the Hammer

RM Sotheby’s and McLaren Racing are to offer three future McLaren competition cars for auction in Abu Dhabi on 5 December during the final Formula 1 race of the season.  McLaren CEO Zak Brown  made an appearance at RM Sotheby’s Monterey sale to make the announcement.

For the first time, the public will be given the opportunity to purchase three competition chassis from the upcoming season before they are fully unveiled or raced, including a 2026 McLaren Formula 1 Team car, a 2027 McLaren United AS racer from the World Endurance Championship, and a 2026 Arrow McLaren Indianapolis 500 INDYCAR from the US-based NTT INDYCAR SERIES.  The cars will go under the hammer in Abu Dhabi on 5 December during the final Formula 1 race of the season at a yet-to-be-announced RM Sotheby’s auction.

The chosen cars celebrate McLaren Racing’s achievement as the only team to win the prestigious motorsport Triple Crown – the Monaco Grand Prix, Indianapolis 500 and Le Mans 24 Hours.  Earlier this year, McLaren Racing announced its return to endurance racing, underscoring its ambition to claim the Triple Crown for the second time.

Along with the cars, the purchaser will also be buying privileges such as preferential access to McLaren road and race car purchase and behind-the-scenes access with McLaren Racing and the associated events as part of the purchase of the cars.

Also on offer will be McLaren’s first LMDh hypercar from its debut season in the FIA World Endurance Championship, giving bidders a rare opportunity of acquiring a top-flight 24 Hours of Le Mans racer.
