  • From Pit Lanes to Polished Marble How a Reclusive Race Team Took on the Most Desirable Brands on the Planet
    Marketing Society Excellence Awards 2013 FROM PIT LANES TO POLISHED MARBLE HOW A RECLUSIVE RACE TEAM TOOK ON THE MOST DESIRABLE BRANDS ON THE PLANET Category: F – Brand Extension Brand: McLaren Automotive Agency: VCCP London McLaren Automotive Brand Extension 1 Author: Rob Dougan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ferrari. Lamborghini. Even their names, written simply in black and white evoke strong emotions. In an industry defined by desirability their products are positively worshipped. Their images have hung on bedroom walls around the world for over 50 years, vying for space alongside the other classic icons of desire; bond girls and supermodels. McLaren™ is nothing at all like its super car competition. Their mission has traditionally been winning races. Notoriety for McLaren™ always came in the form of sporting success not brand success - they were there to build sponsors brands, not their own. To most, a Formula One™ team moving into road cars might seem like the most natural thing in the world. That’s just not the case. Surprisingly, the differences between the businesses far outweigh the similarities. The business model, scale, place, brand mindset and audience are all entirely different. In understanding the audience we realised that it was the stories within McLaren’s heritage that were by far the most valuable transfer to the road – not the technology as we’d initially imagined. Our job was to fuel the myth and ensure it was steeped into every part of the new supercar brand. McLaren™ had typically set itself a monumental challenge – develop a brand to take on the might of Ferrari and Lamborghini.

  • THE GROUNDBREAKING Mclaren SUPER SERIES CONTINUES to BREAK RECORDS
    Media information 02 February 2015 THE GROUNDBREAKING McLAREN SUPER SERIES CONTINUES TO BREAK RECORDS McLaren Super Series comprising McLaren 12C, 650S and Asia-only 625C becomes the highest volume carbon fibre supercar range ever 5000 examples assembled since the production commenced in early 2011 Latest addition to the Super Series, the McLaren 675LT, is confirmed for global premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015 McLaren Automotive today celebrated the build of the 5,000th model based on the groundbreaking carbon fibre MonoCell chassis, which forms the recently announced McLaren Super Series, in only the fourth full year of vehicle production. Launched initially with the 12C in 2011, and followed by the 12C Spider and then the 650S and Asia-only 625C, the Super Series is now the highest volume carbon fibre supercar range ever. This milestone comes shortly after McLaren announced a third consecutive growth in sales, with more than 1,400 Super Series models being delivered during 2014. The 5,000th car, a Volcano Yellow 650S Coupé commissioned for a customer in Australia rolled from the assembly line in the McLaren Production Centre on Monday 2nd February. It was joined at the end of the production line by the first production 12C, which has now become part of the McLaren Heritage Collection. Production of the 12C began at the start of 2011, with these early models assembled by approximately 30 employees in a designated manufacturing facility within the McLaren Technology Centre. Deliveries commenced globally from June, before the state-of-the- art McLaren Production Centre opened its doors in November, becoming the birthplace of all McLaren roadcars.

  • Mclaren CONFIRMS GT3 RACING PROGRAMME for MP4-12C
    Media Information EMBARGOED: 10:38.GMT, 17 December 2010 McLAREN CONFIRMS GT3 RACING PROGRAMME FOR MP4-12C McLaren and CRS Racing in partnership to develop GT3 racing car based on new McLaren MP4-12C road car First customer cars planned for 2012 season 12C’s innovative carbon chassis, light weight and aerodynamics promise winning performance from race-bred road car WOKING, UK (Dec 17, 2010) – McLaren today confirms its plans to bring back the McLaren name to GT sports cars racing. From 2012, McLaren and CRS Racing will supply and support a limited number of GT3 racing cars based on the McLaren MP4-12C high-performance sports car for European-based privateers. 15 years since the McLaren F1 GTR famously won the world-famous 24 Heures du Mans (Le Mans) on its debut, and 12 years since six ‘Longtails’ last raced at Le Mans, McLaren and CRS Racing, a successful and experienced UK-based racing team, have begun development work aimed at turning the 12C road car into a race-winning GT3 sports car. As part of the development programme, McLaren and CRS Racing will compete at a limited number of European GT races in 2011. With the 12C’s revolutionary lightweight one-piece moulded carbon chassis (the ‘MonoCell’), its high levels of downforce and aerodynamic performance, and its focus on form and function, the 12C should prove to be a great platform on which to develop a racing car, as well as visually setting pulses racing at European race tracks. Martin Whitmarsh, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Team Principal said: “Racing is in our blood – it was natural to develop a GT3 car alongside the 12C road car.
