Sometimes a car isn’t just a machine; it becomes a story. The Las Vegas Grand Prix is just around the corner, and to mark this occasion, McLaren has given its stunning 750S Spider a look that feels like the car itself has come alive in the Vegas nights. Project Viva isn’t just a special edition; it’s a moving artwork embodying the spirit of Las Vegas.
This car isn’t wrapped; it’s hand-painted by MSO artists. The combination of white and black may look sober, but within it lies the magic of Vegas Nights, with subtle shimmers of cyan, magenta, and green shining through.
Why is Project Viva so special? McLaren’s stylish salute to Vegas
Looking at the dazzling neon world of Vegas, you might think the car would be equally colorful, but McLaren chose the opposite approach. His philosophy was that when the world is full of color, sometimes simplicity can be a gem. That’s why Project Viva was given a monochrome look simple, calm, and yet eye-catching.
The car’s bodywork features iconic Vegas symbols, translated into McLaren’s language. The famous “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign on the front hood has been changed to “Welcome to Fabulous MSO.” The cards on the rear fenders are not Vegas cards, but rather “750S” and the McLaren logo.
Dice, palm trees, cacti, and a Vegas replica Eiffel Tower also appear on the car’s sides. But the most beautiful part is the roulette wheel, painted like a racetrack. Its outer edge features racing F1 cars, and the pockets inside are designed like F1 curbs, with McLaren logos from the past 60+ years—from the beloved Kiwi of 1963 to the Speedy Kiwi of the 70s—instead of numbers.
F1 Drivers’ Imprint: Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri also joined in this art.
To make this car even more special, McLaren F1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri also inscribed their signatures on the car. Both also added the team’s 10th Constructors’ Championship Star to the rear bumper, which they played a key role in achieving this season.
