The McLaren 570S comes across as a racecar that wants to be a road car, whereas the others are road cars aspiring to go in the other direction. So you’ve got a quarter-mil burning a hole in your pocket and you’re looking for a “junior” supercar. Well, life just got a bit more complicated. Top of list might be the blue-chip Porsche Turbo S

McLaren to the automotive world is like Louboutin to the world of shoes. It's more than a brand, it's a marque. You can't just go out and buy a 'cheap' Mclaren to go grocery shopping or take an extended road trip to Disneyland with two screaming children in tow; in the same way you can't go out and buy a 'cheap' pair of Louboutins to go for an afte

British sports car maker McLaren has built a full-size Lego version of its 720S, now on display at LA's Petersen Automotive Museum. Notably, at 3,200 pounds (about 1,451 kg), the 1:1 scale model actually weighs more than the real deal, which tips the scales at well under 1,300 kg. McLaren worked with Lego to create the model using computed-ai

It’s no coincidence that McLaren hosted the international launch for the open-top version of its 570S mid-engine junior supercar on the fabulous roads that emanate from Barcelona, Spain. It just so happens that McLaren, the British-based firm of F1 legend that is now very serious about building road cars, has a vehicle development centre in this

PHOENIX, AZ – McLaren may have decades of race car building in the books, and its F1 road car from the ’90s (of which only 106 were built) is still a living legend, but McLaren Automotive, being the modern-day street car division of this British manufacture, is only entering its ninth year of existence. 2020 McLaren 720S Spider That’s hard to

Apple, the California-based consumer electronics company that brought us all the various  i-things that have become so ubiquitous since the first iMac in 1998, is reportedly interested acquiring McLaren Technology Group for over $1 billion US.  If true, the acquisition would be the biggest acquisition for Apple since the $3 billion purchase of Bea

British supercar maker McLaren has revealed the 570GT ahead of its live debut at the Geneva international Motor Show next week.  The latest addition to the lineup of deliciously absurd cars is positioned as a more practical alternative for the 570S.  The word "practical" is used only in relation to the rest of the McLaren family. The 570GT featu

After McLaren launched the extremely fast 650S they didn't sit back and have a cup of tea and wait until it was time to make the next F1 car. No, first they took the 650S and gave the 3.8L twin-turbo V8 25 more horsepower, taking it to 675 hp. Then they stripped out the interior, adding carbon shelled seats. And then they gave it thinner glass, t

Here's your latest look at McLaren's latest Ultimate Series. It gets a name, too. Or at least a codename. It's just a glimpse. Of what appears to be a brake light hidden in a world of exquisite carbon fibre aerodynamic components. But it's not just any brake light, it's a McLaren brake light. Put it together with the exhaust tips McLaren post

McLaren's tribute to Ayrton Senna will debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month, but the automaker has given us the photos and details early. Like a 340 km/h top speed, and a special new shade of grey. Plus it'll be the sharpest road car they've ever built. The late Ayrton Senna won the Formula 1 World Championship three times behind the wheel

McLaren has just announced the latest expansion in its supercar lineup. This one's a roadster, and the company is saying that the open-cockpit car "promises purest driving experience yet." Of course, that's what McLaren says with just about every new vehicle they release. At that rate, they must be down to just the essential oils of the driving

The long-awaited replacement for Deadmau5's Nyancat Purrari is here! https://twitter.com/deadmau5/status/582960168192876544 If the Canadian electronica icon's girlfriend has anything to do with it this Meowclaren will not be getting the Nyancat wrap treatment, at least not according to this exchange back in

Sold at the Bonhams auction in Monterey, California, the first-ever McLaren F1 imported into the US fetched an eye-watering US$14.2M. Add in a 10 percent buyer’s fee, and the cheque required is US$15.62M. That kind of money could buy you a yacht, or a jet aircraft, or a small detached single-family home in Vancouver. As with so many classic cars

McLaren has confirmed that when the Speedtail hypercar arrives, the company's new flagship will boast more than 987 hp thanks to a hybrid powertrain. But don't look for the company to go chasing speed records like the F1 it succeeds. Company CEO Mike Flewitt confirmed the information to TopGear.com at an event for owners. He said that the new

McLaren has just revealed the latest in their Sports series. The new 600LT is longer and more powerful. And in the wake of the company calling for a weight race instead of a power race, the new model trims nearly 100 kg from the curb weight. McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt said earlier this week that he wants to see a weight race take over from the cur
