[5] In 1993, Dean Lanzante, son of founder Paul, joined the business, and two years later they had expanded into motor racing.

[9] At the same event, Lanzante displayed two road-going converted Porsche 935s, alongside a rotary powered, 1000 horsepower McLaren P1 GTR which has been tuned to a drift specification for Mike Whiddett.

[10][11] In July 2024, Lanzante confirmed it was assessing customer enquiries about road-legal versions of the forthcoming Red Bull RB17 designed by Adrian Newey.

[12][13] The team at Lanzante are also involved in a project due to complete in 2025, to make the world's first road legal Pagani Huayra R for car collector and influencer Petfred.

[14] Following years of participation in historic motorsport, Lanzante moved to modern racing by entering the BPR Global GT Series in 1995 with a Porsche 911 Turbo competing in the GT3 category with drivers Paul Burdell, Wido Rössler, and Soames Langton.

[21] Langton and Burdell remained in the Porsche, joined by Stanley Dickens and earned several podiums over the season, with a best finish of 2nd at Monza and Nurburgring.

The final races of the season were challenging for the Lanzante Porsche, at Spa the team were disqualified from their 3rd place finish owing to Burdell not completing the required number of laps.

At the penultimate Nogaro driver Soames Langton was involved in a serious crash driving the Lanzante Porsche, which left him in a coma and ultimately suffering from locked in syndrome.

In the 1996 British GT, the team's McLaren was driven by Ian Flux and James Ulrich, and won a race at Donington Park.

The car debuted at Brands Hatch for the final round of the season, driven by Dean Lanzante and Chris Yandell.

[25] The vehicle received a number of upgrades including a full GT4 bodykit, roll cage, brakes, pedal box and respray to nardo grey from original black paint.

To make them into P1 LM spec, Lanzante Motorsport developed these P1 GTRs by, amongst other modifications, making changes to the drivetrain hardware (to increase power), by employing a modified rear wing and larger front splitter and dive planes (to improve downforce) and by removing the air-jack system and using Inconel catalytic converter pipes and exhaust headers, lightweight fabricated charge coolers, Lexan windows, lighter seats (from the F1 GTR) and titanium exhausts, bolts and fixings (to save weight).

The cars were stripped back to their carbon fibre base, before being reassembled with upgraded suspension components, and additional downforce added to the bodywork including a fixed rear wing from the P1 GTR.

The second P1 HDK received power upgrades to the standard engine, bored out to 4 litres by Cosworth and estimated horsepower reaching over 1,000bhp.

The third was completed in February 2023, and supplied to a customer in Saudi Arabia with a blue exterior and interior, along with centre-lock racing wheels.

The engine cover was also modified, now a single piece removable clamshell, which made the power unit more visible than on its coupe counterpart.
