Oscar Piastri owns a McLaren 750S with unique charm – his new vehicle stands out with its papaya details
Pictures of Oscar Piastri’s customized McLaren 750S have surfaced on social media. The Australian shows taste: his new company car comes in dark purple and with the typical accents from Woking.
The McLaren driver recently took delivery of his 750S – the lightest and most powerful production model from McLaren to date. While Piastri’s vehicle is a custom-built model, the 750S is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 with biturbo charging as standard.
The bare figures of the super sports car
The power unit delivers a brute 750 horsepower and puts 800 newton meters of torque onto the crankshaft. The result: a sprint from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.8 seconds.
The dry weight is a slim 1,277 kilograms, thanks in part to the carbon fiber racing seats and the ultra-light forged ten-spoke alloy wheels.
Customized design for “OP”
Optically, Piastri relies on understatement with a twist: the 750S is painted in a dark purple, which contrasts with bright brake calipers in the typical McLaren “Papaya Orange”. The interior is dominated by visible carbon, individual embroidery, further papaya orange accents and personalized door sill trims with his abbreviation “OP”.
The 24-year-old Formula 1 professional had already put the McLaren 750S through its paces at Silverstone, the home of the British Grand Prix:
“Even when I drove out of the pits for the first time, I was surprised at how fast it is. The feedback for the driver is great, the car reacts directly, is agile and the turn-in behavior is sharp. The 750S is really fun to drive,” was his verdict at the time.
Nothing is known about the exact value of Piastri’s one-off, but according to Car and Driver, prices for the base model start at around 365,100 US dollars (around 320,000 euros).
Sporty rollercoaster ride in the 2026 season
The news of the new toy comes amid a bumpy start to the 2026 Formula 1 season. After a crash in the warm-up laps at the season opener in Australia and an electrical fault that prevented him from starting the China Grand Prix, he was finally able to finish a race in Japan. There, he made up ground and turned third place on the grid into a strong podium result in second place.
The McLaren star is currently in sixth place in the drivers’ standings with 21 points, directly behind his team-mate Lando Norris, who is in fifth place with 25 points.
The premier class now takes a five-week break, as the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grands Prix have been canceled. It resumes at the beginning of May with the Miami Grand Prix.
