Taking its name from McLaren’s Formula 1 heritage, the MP4-12C is powered by a new, McLaren-designed 3.8 litre twin-turbo V8 developing 447kW and 600Nm of torque. [...]
McLAREN BOSS RON DENNIS has announced that the company’s brand new supercar will debut this week as the MP4-12C, drawing its name from the company’s Formula 1 heritage. Above and following are recent spy photos of the car undergoing testing, dubbed at the time the ‘P11′.
The new McLaren, unlike its F1 forebear, [...]
HYBRID TECH is increasingly the flavour of the month; now, even the most un-green marques such as Ferrari are contemplating their own petrol-electric high-performance models.
Not wanting to be left out of the game, it appears McLaren is looking to establish a hybrid vehicle program of its own.
The British supercar maker has advertised a job vacancy [...]

The lads at Auto Express say these latest renderings of the McLaren P11 supercar are the most accurate yet, but for some reason we can’t help but be a little underwhelmed.
Compared to the unique race-car stylings of the McLaren F1, the P11 looks almost generic in its shape. McLaren’s gunning for [...]
Ron Dennis will be landing firmly on his feet as he leaves McLaren Racing over the ‘Stewardsgate’ debacle.
News today puts Dennis at the helm of McLaren Automotive where he will oversee work on the upcoming McLaren P11 Supercar.
Dennis had this to say on the future of McLaren:
“The reorganisation of the McLaren Group is an extraordinarily [...]
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has hinted that McLaren could face expulsion from a number of Grands Prix this season as punishment for lying to stewards.

A horror fortnight for McLaren has been worsened by the revelation that key investor Mercedes-Benz is considering withdrawing from Formula One.
Mercedes’ parent company Daimler has suffered in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, losing $1 billion a month, prompting the automaker to consider a variety of cost-cutting measures ahead of a shareholders meeting in [...]
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has defended his decision to suspend sporting director, Kiwi Dave Ryan, in the wake of the Lewis Hamilton disqualification scandal.
Ryan, a 35-year employee of the Woking-based team, has been sent home after reportedly instructing Hamilton to deceive stewards during a post-race investigation in Melbourne.
Although the decision has pained senior members [...]
Very few cars evoke the kind of passionate reaction that the McLaren F1 does. No one knows this like McLaren itself, which is why at its Technology Centre in Woking, England, McLaren engineers are hard at work developing a successor to the legendary F1.
McLaren is now in the midst of developing the P11 - a [...]
McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton has been stripped of his third-place finish at the Australian Grand Prix after it was found he gave ‘misleading’ evidence during a post-race inquiry.
Hamilton was elevated to the final podium spot in Melbourne after stewards ruled Toyota’s Jarno Trulli had passed the World Champion under safety car conditions, with the Italian receiving [...]
Jim Dowle, designer of the McLaren F1, has announced plans to power his upcoming P1 project (first announced back in February ‘08) through an electric drivetrain, renaming it the P1-E project. No doubt you can figure out what the E stands for. At an expected price point of about £55,000 (AU$115,834) and aiming [...]
McLaren has taken the wraps off its new-for-2009 F1 challenger at its UK headquarters in Woking. At the same time, it has revealed that the car will be driven by - surprise, surprise - reigning champ Lewis Hamilton and teammate Heikki Kovalainen for this year’s season.
Despite sharing a similar alphanumeric code, the MP4-24 bears little resemblence to [...]
Call us crazy, but we don’t see anything wrong with the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Yeah, it’s getting a bit long in the tooth these days, but with 460kW, 780Nm and a 0-100 sprint time of just 3.6 seconds you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who thinks the SLR could do with a bit of [...]
If you’re going to part ways, you might as well do it in style. McLaren will give a high-profile farewell to its Mercedes partnership when it takes the wraps of the exquisitely-styled McLaren SLR Stirling Moss at the Detroit Motor Show in January.
Only 75 of the carbon-fibre bodied roadsters will be made and, despite the €750,000 [...]
Leaked clay model photos of McLaren’s coming P11 supercar have just hit the web and it looks as though the speculative renderings we brought you back in August, were close to the mark. UK automotive magazine Car managed to obtain the images from an insider and has been kind enough to spread the love.
The two-door mid-engined supercar [...]
If you’re one of the privileged few lucky enough to be rolling around in a Mercedes SLR McLaren Roadster, it’s doubtful the thought, “Is this car powerful enough?” has ever entered your mind.
With 467kW bellowing from its 5.4-litre supercharged V8, the SLR Roadster is far from being just a pose-mobile for vapid, image-obsessed heiresses. And [...]
The launch of McLaren’s upcoming P11 supercar has apparently been delayed to give newly-hired Chief of Design Frank Stephenson a chance to wave his magic stylus over the company’s first McLaren-badged road vehicle since the much-vaunted F1.
The P11 was meant to have been unveiled later this year, however with Stephenson contractually obliged by his [...]
Slovenian website Avtomanija has weighed in on the juicy topic of McLaren’s much-rumoured successor to the indomitable F1 with these renderings of what it says represents the new F2/F12/P12.
There’s a little bit of Lotus Evora and Porsche Carrera GT in the design as well as a tinge of Aston in those wide rear arches, [...]
While KERS may not have had a trouble free run during testing and development, it’s almost certain we’ll see the system utilised in ’09’s Grand Prix series.
With safety concerns and costs high on the agenda, F1 teams have met twice in the last 7 days to discuss the possibility of delaying introduction until 2010, lead [...]
While AMG prepare Mercedes’ next generation of supercar, the SLC, McLaren have been busying themselves with one last version of the SLR before they quietly part company with Mercedes-Benz. The topless SLR Speedster is to be the SLR’s swansong, for once all 75 cars are built the baton will be passed onto the AMG-developed SLC [...]
Jay is back. A few weeks ago we saw Jay’s review of the R35 GT-R, this time around it’s the Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR that’s in the spotlight; and Jay likes it.
Oft maligned the super expensive SLR has proven to be less than a hit with the punters and has been the catalyst for Mercedes-Benz [...]
