McLaren Washington DC

Drawing on 50 years of racing success, McLaren has created some of the most iconic and exhilarating road cars the world has ever seen. During the epochal 1988 season, Team Principal Ron Dennis and Technical Director Gordon Murray began pondering the ultimate road car, a McLaren road car. In 1993 the seminal McLaren F1 was launched. Two years later, the F1 GTR dominated the podium at Le Mans, turning the greatest supercar of its generation into the most successful British race car of modern times.

When we pioneered the carbon monocoque in the McLaren F1, it took 3,000 hours to make each carbon fibre chassis. It now takes just four hours to create the carbon MonoCell at the heart of the 650S. It’s amazing progress, and testament to our unrivalled knowledge of the technology and our unmatched success with it.

From the peerless 650S to the iconic McLaren P1™, every car we build incorporates race-bred technology, pioneering innovation and our celebrated obsession with detail. It’s how Bruce did it. It’s how we do it. It’s how it should be done.
