McLaren Racing has revealed the name of the FIA Hypercar that will return the iconic motorsport team to the pinnacle of endurance racing. The McLaren MCL-HY will compete for overall honours in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 2027 in one of the most exciting eras of endurance racing.
Alongside its WEC and Le Mans programme, McLaren has also announced a track car variant and supporting track day programme that also provides exclusive access to the team’s return to sports car racing’s top class through the hyper-exclusive Project: Endurance.
The MCL-HY adopts McLaren Racing’s established Formula 1 naming convention, combining the ‘MCL’ prefix with the Hypercar designation ‘HY’ reinforcing the brand’s unified motorsport identity across the highest categories of motorsport and signalling its commitment to the highly successful WEC category.
This announcement precedes the full reveal on May 4 of both the 2027 race car and its track car counterpart, which have been developed through close collaboration between McLaren Racing and McLaren Automotive.
