THREE-PEAT

We've seen the McLaren F1's past, but what about the future? Meet the new, F1-influenced Lanzante 95-59

“People have asked for this. They've specifically asked for non-hybrid cars, cars with luggage space and decent touring range, the size of the car has been important, even reasonable maintenance costs. They want a car they can use. And I'm confident that even when you have a lot of keys to a lot of cars, nine times out of 10, you'll pick this,” says Dean Lanzante with a grin, talking about his new 95-59 supercar. It sounds like he's talking about a far more prosaic vehicle than an 850bhp, 1,200kg twin passenger automotive shiv with a centrally seated driver, itself a thorough reworking of the already exceptional McLaren 750S. But in the context of Lanzante's usual output, this is basically a Touring spec supercar. It's that central driving position that gives it the magic though, brings the McLaren F1 vibes. And Lanzante has more than a passing connection with that car, no matter how much Dean himself insists that the 95-59 isn't the 'new' version of anything.
