McLaren 'BP23' Buyers Will Get 243mph... And This Special Sculpture
Tired of waiting for your McLaren BP23 to arrive? Wish you had some sort of extremely limited-edition BP23-themed paperweight to help pass those agonising days, weeks and months? Well, we have some good news, because each of the car’s 106 buyers is about to take delivery of a little keepsake.
The McLaren BP23 ‘Speed Form’ sculpture has been produced exclusively for those owners, giving the tiniest preview of the car’s bodywork styling – as well as a glimpse into the three-seat interior inspired by the wonderful F1.
At 400mm long, 205mm wide and 80mm tall, each individually-numbered piece has been machined using five-axis CNC cutting tech from a block of a metal alloy before being hand-polished for 30 hours. Each was then assembled by hand with its finishing trim inserts. Overall, every single one took 100 hours to create.
Project BP23 will be the fastest McLaren ever built, when it arrives, with a top speed of “more than 243mph.” Its name won’t follow the usual McLaren alphanumeric style, though. We understand it’s likely to be something more evocative.
To help the petrol-electric hybrid on its way to that incredible top speed, its bodywork will be the most aerodynamic Woking has ever produced. Exclusivity is guaranteed, too: the 106-car production run mirrors that of the famous F1 to which it’s partly the spiritual successor.

If money can buy a BP23 then I’m very sure it can also buy this sculpture.
Exactly. I would sell it for a car tbh… Like a R32 Golf? I wouldn’t mind that…
Eventually, yeah, if you want to be picky. But not right now. You could go to McLaren with a frunk full of £50 notes and they wouldn’t make you one.
Would be awesome if the owners could colour code to match their car…
When did McLaren turn into a toy factory???
Mclaren has always been a toy factory.
Why only 391 km/h?
Make it 400.
Because this is an homage to the F1, and that was the F1’s top speed.
But Mclarrn always underqoutes their cars so dont panic ;)
Why have a sculpture when you can put the car in your living room
But will the BP23 leak oil like 23 BP’s?
Hmm… we’ve had the McLaren Senna. So will this one be called the McLaren Prost?
McLaren Hunt
3 seats huh… Must be a british classic in hybrid engineering
Finally, a car for poor Han Solo.
Does it look like a woman’s genitals from above or am I dirty minded?
I hate you, I see it and now I can’t un-see it. ugh… but I have to admit you are right
