Like the world of handheld consoles a couple of articles earlier, the supercars are not products of the big boys only. There are smaller players out there ready to entice with equally exotic and powerful machines. The Lanzante 95-59 you see here is one such sports car from a non-mainstream marque that is absolutely drool-worthy inside and outside, and also under the hood.
Revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, the supercar is named after the year Lanzante won the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the race number of the winning car. Not going to lie. It makes for a good story during your annual exotic car gathering in a secret chalet in the Alps.
This McLaren F1-seque supercar boasts a sculpted carbon fibre body shrink-wrapped around a bespoke three-seat cabin with the driver at the center. Under the hood sits a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that churns out over 850 bhp and 880 Nm (640 lb-ft) of chassis-twisting torque.
And mind you. That power is hauling as little as 1,250 kilograms (2,756 lbs) if you tick the optional LM30 Pack, which shaves another 20 kg (44 lbs) off the already light build. If anyone’s crunching the numbers, that works out to 700 bhp per ton of performance. Absolutely insane. That is hypercar territory, well, almost.
The numbers are insane, but Lanzante didn’t stop at performance. The LM30 Pack adds super-light forged aluminium wheels, Inconel exhaust headers, titanium pipes, and gold-plated heat shielding—because nothing says exotic like sprinkling gold in your engine bay.
On the outside, the full carbon fibre body is finished in Ueno Grey, the exact shade of the Le Mans winner. It stretches 4,574 mm long, 1,974 mm wide, and stands only 1,186 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,670 mm.
Inside, the central driver’s throne is flanked by two passengers integrated into the chassis, with luggage space up front and a 75-litre (20-gallon) tank for long hauls.
Production is capped at 59 units, priced at £1,020,000 (~1,387,661 USD) before taxes. That checks both exclusivity and barrier to entry—something rich folks dig. If you have that kind of coin, you’ll be one of 59 people who can brag that their car comes with butterfly doors, fighter-jet cues, and a driver-centric obsession that borders on madness.
