INTRODUCTION
McLaren is about Racing.
Our historical core business is Formula 1, the ultimate in racing, which constantly pushes the barriers of technology.
At McLaren we can directly translate our racing experience to the road, using the latest technology from Formula 1 to achieve unsurpassed levels of vehicle performance.
THE COMPANY
McLaren Automotive was established in 1989 and is renowned for its expertise in engineering and manufacturing the most definitive super sports cars in the world.
From the beginning McLaren Automotive established its own unique approach to super sports car design, combining the most advanced engineering and technology from the world of Formula 1 together with an unparalleled attention to detail, in the pursuit of the purest driving experience.
THE ROAD CARS
Embodying this philosophy, the McLaren F1 established its own unique place in super car history as the world's fastest production road car achieving a speed of 240.14 mph / 386 kph.
Described by many as the finest drivers' car ever built, the McLaren F1 excelled both on the road and the race track. The McLaren F1 claimed victory on its debut at Le Mans 24 Heures in 1995, taking four of the top five places, and its racing success continued with GT Championship titles in 1995 and 1996.
The legacy of the McLaren F1 demonstrates how McLaren Automotive aims to set the standards that others follow.
Today this vision continues with the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren offering Formula 1 technology and breathtaking performance with everyday levels of usability and comfort.
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is manufactured at the McLaren Technology Centre where every car is assembled by a team dedicated to producing the very best super sports cars in the world.
