Developed from McLaren CAD data, the hand-built replica targets collectors priced out of the multi‑million‑dollar W1.

Overview

  • The launch specification in Papaya Spark is limited to 199 pieces and is priced at $19,995 (£14,995 / €17,995).
  • Tailor Made commissions start at $27,995 (£20,995 / €25,195) and can match an owner's real-car build using factory sheets.
  • Each model measures over 570 mm in length after roughly 3,000 development hours and more than 300 hours of hand assembly in Bristol.
  • Functional details include working scissor doors, a remote‑controlled rear wing, and a fully detailed interior mirroring the real car.
  • Coverage notes the actual W1 is limited to 399 examples and priced in the millions, underscoring the replica's collectible positioning.
