INTRODUCTION

McLaren Automotive goes to extraordinary lengths to develop road cars that are the best in the world.

We are completely focused on offering unsurpassed levels of dynamic performance, transferring know-how and knowledge directly from the race-track to the road.

This means we use many of the same development tools as the Team McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team, such as simulation, structural analysis, and aerodynamics. We also bring advanced technologies from Formula 1 such as carbon fibre structures, control systems and tyre technology.

McLaren Automotive can also use technologies which are banned from Formula 1 and adapt them to provide the greatest performance benefits without the restrictions placed on Formula 1 cars.

The use of these latest technologies, systems and processes makes a McLaren road car an uncompromised vehicle that directly translates Formula 1 technology to the road.
