There is no denying McLaren’s long history of luxury cars. Their automotive division has already built the world’s most critically acclaimed supercar, the McLaren F1 (1993-1998), as well as the world’s best-selling luxury supercar, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (2003-2009).

Chairman Ron Dennis is quoted, “It is a long-held dream of mine to launch high performance sports cars that set new standards in the industry.”

McLaren Automotive now looks to carry on that luxury tradition and deliver well into the future with a new range of revolutionary sports cars.

The first car from the new company – McLaren Automotive, is the McLaren MP4-12C. It’s a high performance two-seat mid-engine model in the ‘core’ sports car market segment for cars costing between £125,000 and £175,000.
