It is the 50th anniversary of McLaren this year and to commemorate this occasion a very special film has been produced. The film looks at Bruce McLaren, who founded his racing team five decades ago. You can see the film on Youtube here: http://youtu.be/23E1m8ZxFmU. Directed sensitively by Marcus Söderlund, a leading music-video maker from Sweden, […]
Granted it may be in the camo vinyl finish that most manufacturers use when testing, however this is evidently the McLaren P1 being tested. Naturally, McLaren has some very specific words to offer, and to this end here they are: A dedicated team of McLaren engineers, technicians and racing drivers are running a fleet of […]
This is the amazing looking McLaren 12C GT Can-Am edition. Bonkers name aside, you must agree that it is quite the looker. Few supercars turned race cars have seemed quite the part. The limited edition track-special pays tribute to Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme who successfully raced a series of McLaren models in the Can-Am […]
This is the new McLaren MP4-12C Spider. The original hard top variant of the car was criticised by some as being a rather emotionless affair – it was known for beating the Ferrari 458 Italia on paper in every respect, except, for some, in the matter that was most important. How it touched the heart. […]
At the Paris Motor Show, Mondial de l’Automobile 2012, the McLaren P1 is previewed as a design study. Next year a production version, which the company aims to put on sale within 12 months, will be revealed. The McLaren P1 leverages five decades of McLaren’s motorsport skills. It was designed from the outset to prioritise […]
This is the amazing new McLaren P1 and it certainly lives up to the idea that it is the true successor to the McLaren F1. It is designed to be the best road and track driver’s car in the world. This variant is only a design study but it’s likely that come 2013 a production […]
This breathtaking new concept from McLaren is named the X-1. Designed following a special challenge, the designers really went to work with this one. “One of our clients who already owned a McLaren F1, a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and now a 12C, wanted a unique car,” says MSO Programme Director, Paul MacKenzie. “The conversation began […]
Surely this is one of the best images that Car Articles has ever featured! This picture highlights the nine McLaren 12C GT3 cars that will line up on the grid of the famous Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps next weekend, 27-29 July 2012 to contest the Total 24 Hours of Spa. There’s a high quality Youtube video […]
One of the criticisms that was levelled at the original McLaren MP4-12C on release was that it was a little bit ‘generic supercar’ in appearance. You can say anything but that about the Spider version of this superb British sportscar. Cutting the roof off has turned a great looking purposeful machine into an automotive vision. […]
I’ve spoken before about the McLaren MP4-12C. It is an engineering marvel and proper supercar with the potent abilities to make a hugely successful GT car. That’s why I thought I’d share with you all the Top Gear review. Granted, Clarkson may profess that the Ferrari 458 Italia is the motor that touches him more, […]
