Oscar Piastri’s custom McLaren 750S surfaces online with papaya details

Photos of Oscar Piastri's custom McLaren 750S have emerged on social media. 

The Australian driver recently took delivery of the 750S, which is the lightest and most powerful series-production McLaren to date. While Piastri's is a custom specification, the 750S is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces a blistering 750PS (740bhp) and 800Nm of torque. This has resulted in a 0-62mph time of just 2.8 seconds.

The dry weight comes in at 1277kg, thanks in part to the carbon fibre racing seats and ultra-lightweight 10-spoke forged alloy wheels. 

Piastri's 750S is finished in a dark purple with contrasting bright McLaren Papaya orange brake calipers. The interior leans into exposed carbon fibre, custom embroidery, McLaren Papaya orange accents and personalised "OP" sills. 

 

The 24-year-old Formula 1 driver previously put the McLaren 750S to the test at Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix. "Even when I first came out the pits, I was surprised how quick it was. The driver feedback is great, the car is responsive, agile and the turning is sharp. The 750S is really good fun to drive," he said at the time.

While it is unknown what Piastri's custom 750S is worth, prices start at approximately $365,100, according to Car and Driver.

This comes amid a shaky start to the 2026 F1 season for Piastri. After crashing on the reconnaissance laps of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix and suffering an electrical fault that prevented him from starting the Chinese Grand Prix, he finally managed to complete a race in Japan. He managed to convert a P3 start into a second-place finish.

The McLaren driver currently sits sixth in the drivers' standings with 21 points, behind his team-mate Lando Norris in fifth with 25 points.

F1 now heads into a five-week break due to the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, and it will return for the Miami Grand Prix at the start of May.
