AB Models' 1:18 resin McLaren Elva reproduces the windshield-free open hypercar in Gulf's pale blue and orange livery. Sealed resin construction highlights the Elva's stripped-back cockpit design, paired with one of motorsport's most recognised colour schemes.
TL;DR: AB Models' 1:18 sealed resin reproduces the McLaren Elva in Gulf's pale blue and orange livery, McLaren's deliberately windshield-free open hypercar. Resin construction captures the Elva's exposed cockpit and flowing bodywork, pairing a genuinely modern design with a livery carrying its own separate motorsport history.
Building a modern hypercar with no windscreen is a bold statement on its own. Wrapping it in Gulf colours adds a second layer of history to a car that is otherwise entirely about the present.
Resin Surfacing for an Exposed Cockpit
The Elva's design hinges entirely on its stripped-back, screenless cockpit, and reproducing that open cabin convincingly in resin means the surrounding bodywork needs to flow cleanly into the exposed seating area rather than leaving an abrupt, unfinished-looking edge. Resin's advantage here is surface consistency across compound curves, letting the Elva's sculpted flanks and low windscreen-free cowl read as intentional design rather than an incomplete casting. Gulf's pale blue and orange demands even, consistent striping across a body with far fewer flat panels than a traditional GT car, a genuine test of production quality. As a sealed resin piece, there is no opening bonnet or door, a sensible choice given the Elva's appeal lies almost entirely in its exterior form.
A Modern Hypercar Wearing Historic Colours
Launched in 2020 as one of McLaren's most extreme limited-production models, the Elva took its name from the 1960s McLaren-Elva racing cars while representing a thoroughly modern engineering exercise. Gulf's livery, historically associated with endurance racing decades earlier, gives this contemporary hypercar a visual link to motorsport heritage entirely separate from its own McLaren name.
A Statement Piece for a Modern Hypercar Shelf
This model deserves space to itself rather than a crowded row, letting the open cockpit and livery both register clearly to anyone walking past the cabinet.
