About

McLaren Automotive traces its road-car lineage to the McLaren F1, a 1992 hypercar built by the Formula 1 team’s engineers that held the production-car speed record for years. The modern road-car division became a standalone manufacturer in 2010, launching the MP4-12C in 2011 and building a full lineup around a carbon-fibre tub shared across every model since.

The current range spans the Artura (hybrid V6), the Super Series (720S, 750S, and their derivatives), and the Ultimate Series flagships led by the W1. Ownership has changed hands twice in recent years: Bahrain’s Mumtalakat fund took full control of McLaren Group in March 2024, then sold McLaren Automotive itself to Abu Dhabi’s CYVN Holdings that December, while retaining a 60% stake in the parent group and McLaren Racing. McLaren cars are assembled at the McLaren Production Centre in Woking, next to the F1 team’s own facility.
