There’s nothing average about the McLaren P1. This powerful model is quick, sleek, and absolutely brilliant. To achieve this objective, McLaren used all its 50 years of racing experience and success, especially in the fields of aerodynamics and lightweight carbon fiber technology. The McLaren P1 brings straight-line performance and instant throttle response to life. It utilizes an innovative IPAS petrol-electric powertrain with a McLaren 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine and a single electric motor. There’s nothing more exhilarating than getting behind the wheel of the McLaren P1. “We believe the McLaren P1 is the most exciting, capable, technologically advanced and most dynamically accomplished supercar ever made.  It may not be the fastest car in the world in absolute top speed, but that was never our goal. Rather, we believe it is the fastest ever production car on a racing circuit, a much more important technical statement, and far more relevant for on-road driving. It is a true test of a supercar’s all-round ability. Plus, many owners will use the car on the circuit, at special track and test days,” said Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Automotive. McLaren’s design team worked to achieve ‘light and agile’ in the P1's design. The car was created to be as compact and lightweight as possible; that’s exactly what was accomplished. There are only five main panels—the front clamshell, front bonnet, rear clamshell and the doors—all made from lightweight carbon fiber. The strong carbon construction means the panels can ‘multi-task’, acting both as aero-honed ducts and load-bearing supports. They are intricately shaped yet superbly finished, aided by their strong carbon construction. There is so much perfection in the P1. Interested in learning more about the McLaren P1?

Telling the story of McLaren’s legendary founder, Bruce McLaren, is the forthcoming motion picture McLaren film. The movie, which uses a potent mix of interviews with Bruce’s colleagues, family, friends, and rivals painstakingly sourced archive footage and live-action reconstruction, promises to be both thrilling and moving. “I think there are comparisons to be drawn between Bruce and stars like James Dean and Buddy Holly – incredibly talented young people who never lived to realize their true potential. Bruce was only 32 when he died, yet in that short period of time he achieved an enormous amount and built an incredible reputation for himself and the company. I think his life had everything that you look for in a great story and Bruce’s legacy will live on through this film,” says director Roger Donaldson. The McLaren film will be released on Blu-ray, DVD and digital platforms on May 29th. Interested in purchasing your own McLaren?

The 570S Coupé has been named ‘Best Performance Car’ in the 2016 UK Car of the Year Awards (UKCotY). Since launch, the first model in the Sports Series has received wide-spread praise and won accolades from media the world over. This prestigious award was judged by an independent judging panel of 27 leading UK media and is a significant milestone for the 570S Coupé. The Sports Series will play a key role in increasing global sales during 2016. On selecting the 570S Coupé as the Best Performance Car of 2016, freelance journalist and UKCotY jury member Richard Bremner commented, “The 570S is McLaren’s best car yet – a sensational blend of all that you want from a supercar, including a drivetrain that’s not overpowered. Easier to live with than many of its rivals, too.’ Fellow juror Simon McBride added: ‘This may be a niche car when it comes to UK sales but that is not the point. The McLaren a masterpiece, it has serious road presence while its head-turning ability is undoubted. This is what makes Britain great - it is an engineering triumph.” In September, the McLaren 570S Coupé was named Motor Trend’s Best Driver’s Car for 2016, beating 12 competitors during vigorous testing over the leading US media brand’s Best Driver’s Car Week.  This is the 10th major award that the car has received, and from titles across the world. Motor Trend’s esteemed staff of editors and writers each had a chance to test the 570S and Editor-in-Chief Ed Loh commented, “The McLaren 570S stands out in this year’s crowd of high-horsepower overachievers because it provides a preternatural connection between driver and machine. With massive thrust in a lightweight, mid-engine chassis that can be guided by the fingertips, the 570S is immensely addictive—and the perfect homage to McLaren’s Grand Prix pedigree.” The vehicle also brought home Robb Report’s Best Sports Car Award, of which Robb Report writers said, “The 570S, the initial model in McLaren’s new entry-level Sports Series, may be the company’s version of a daily driver, but it still offers potent performance, and driving it fast is an addictive activity.” Red Dot awarded the model for its impeccable product design, and Business Insider listed the vehicle as the second runner up for the coveted Car of the Year title.

McLaren Automotive is creating a new Composites Technology Center, which will house the research, development and manufacturing of the Monocell and Monocage. The Carbon fiber chassis is now being called the “ future of McLaren cars.” Using advanced automated manufacturing techniques, the next generation Monocell will be developed in conjunction with the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre.   At the launch event at the AMRC in Sheffield, Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Automotive commented: “In 1981, McLaren was the first company to recognize the exceptional properties of carbon fiber, and we have designed the highly-technical material it to be at the heart of every McLaren road and racing car ever since. The now-iconic McLaren F1 was the world’s first road car to be built with a carbon fiber chassis and every car built more recently by McLaren Automotive has the same. Creating a facility where we can manufacture our own carbon fiber chassis structures is therefore a logical next step.”   The partnership between McLaren Automotive and the University of Sheffield’s AMRC creates the opportunity to expand and to provide more than 200 jobs through a combined investment. The benefits of the construction of this new facility are endless for both McLaren and the workforce!   Interested in purchasing your very own McLaren?
