McLaren 720S Limited Edition Celebrates Daniel Ricciardo's Victory At Monza
by AutoExpert | 27 September, 2021
Two weeks ago, McLaren finished 1-2 in the Italian Grand Prix for the first time in its history, and the British manufacturer is celebrating the victory with a limited-edition McLaren 720S.
As the Daniel Ricciardo Edition 720S, it honors Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo for his triumph over teammate Lando Norris in Monza, where the latter finished in second place. There will be just three cars made, all of which will be sold in Australia.
The Papaya Spark orange and Burton blue color scheme is carried over from McLaren's current MCL35M Formula 1 vehicle to each of the cars. Dressed in Payapa Orange, the majority of the car's exterior features blue highlights such as wing mirrors, side panels, and air vents on the bonnet and decklid.
The number 3 of Daniel Ricciardo, as well as miniature Australian flags, can be seen on the doors. Other special attributes of the McLaren 720S limited edition car include black wheels and blue brake calipers. With Papaya Orange highlights on the seats, door panels, dash, and steering wheel, this car is one of a kind. Along with the door sills, the side sills are autographed by Ricciardo as well.
According to McLaren's commercial director George Biggs, "it's the right time to announce this limited series in honor of the Aussie driver" following the team's historic one-two result at the Italian Grand Prix.
