18 June 2025 – A milestone moment for Lanzante and motorsport history alike.
Exactly 30 years ago to the day, a McLaren F1 GTR bearing the #59 stormed to an unforgettable victory at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was a win that not only stunned the endurance racing world but also launched Lanzante into the realm of motorsport legend. Now, three decades on, Lanzante marks that historic triumph with a new chapter in bespoke automotive excellence: the 95-59.
A Name Forged in History
Pronounced ninety-five fifty-nine, the name 95-59 is far more than a model designation—it’s a time capsule. It fuses two defining elements of Lanzante’s Le Mans conquest: the year of victory (1995) and the race number of the winning car (#59). More than a clever codename, 95-59 stands as a concise summary of the company’s illustrious past and a signal of its uncompromising ambitions for the future.
Developed in close collaboration with a carefully selected group of Lanzante’s most trusted clients, 95-59 has remained under wraps throughout its gestation. Those privileged enough to preview the project during development have helped shape what is set to become one of the most exclusive and driver-focused vehicles of the modern era.
Centred on the Drive, Inspired by the Past
The 95-59 isn’t just a homage—it’s a physical embodiment of Lanzante’s accumulated knowledge from decades of road conversions, racing development, engineering, and low-volume production. At its core is a true three-seat configuration, placing the driver front and centre—both literally and metaphorically—in the driving experience. This central seating echoes the legendary McLaren F1, tying past and present in a layout designed for maximum engagement.
Yet, while undeniably performance-oriented, 95-59 has also been designed with real-world usability in mind. Thoughtful engineering ensures extended range and luggage space, making it not just a visceral track companion but a road-capable grand tourer as well. It’s an analogue spirit wrapped in 21st-century capability.
Just 59 Examples Worldwide
Exclusivity lies at the heart of the 95-59 story. Lanzante will produce just 59 examples for a global audience, a figure chosen to once again pay homage to the race number of its Le Mans-winning ancestor. Each car will be a bespoke commission, tailored to its owner’s desires and built to the same uncompromising standard that has become Lanzante’s calling card.
The World Awaits Its First Glimpse
The global reveal of the 95-59 is set for Thursday, 10 July 2025, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed—an event renowned for celebrating the very best of motoring heritage and innovation. At precisely 11:00 AM BST, the covers will come off, and the next chapter of Lanzante’s legacy will be unveiled to the world.
As the name suggests, 95-59 is more than a car—it’s a celebration of a defining moment in motorsport and a testament to Lanzante’s enduring passion for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, both on the track and beyond.
