THE 570S COUPE: the FIRST MODEL in the NEW Mclaren SPORTS SERIES
Media information October 2015 THE 570S COUPE: THE FIRST MODEL IN THE NEW McLAREN SPORTS SERIES The Sports Series completes the McLaren three tier model range, with the 570S Coupe priced from $184,900 The highest power output and lightest car in the sports car segment by almost 331 lbs (150kg) means a class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 5 lbs per hp (434PS per ton) The 570S Coupe demonstrates five key characteristics – aerodynamics and design, minimized weight, craftsmanship, day-to-day usability and driving involvement – to create the most attainable McLaren model to date The McLaren 570S Coupe is the first – and highest powered – model launched in the recently announced Sports Series. Following its global debut at the New York International Auto Show in April 2015, the new model range marks the entry of McLaren into the luxury sports car market, introducing race-derived technologies and supercar performance in a package which is very much a pure McLaren. Lightweight construction, including the use of a carbon fiber chassis, recognizable design values and a comprehensive specification list ensures a class-leading offering, and as uncompromised as is expected from a McLaren. With pricing starting at $184,900, the 570S Coupe is available to order now with deliveries in the U.S. starting before the end of 2015. The latest addition to the range completes the three tier model strategy for McLaren alongside the Super Series and Ultimate Series. The Sports Series is the most usable and attainable model to wear a McLaren badge to date, but it retains the core design and dynamic focus that ensures it is still worthy of the iconic name.

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.

Tesla Model S Is Now the World's Quickest Car. Yes, Tesla
Tesla Model S is now the world's quickest car. Yes, Tesla money.cnn.com/2017/02/07/technology/motor-trend-tesla-acceleration/index.html by Peter Valdes- Dapena 1/3 The Tesla Model S can go from zero to 60 faster than any other street-legal car around. That includes Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bugattis and any other crazy exotic sports car you can think of. The Tesla Model S P100D, with 760 horsepower and all-wheel-drive, jumped from a dead stop to 60 miles an hour in 2.28 seconds in a test by Motor Trend. It's the first car to ever do that in under 2.3 seconds in the magazine's testing. With this sort of power, merging into the traffic on the highway is less of an issue than trying not to rear-end anyone while you're doing it. That's quicker than high-priced hybrid supercars like the $1.5 million Ferrari LaFerrari, the $1.1 McLaren P1 or the $845,000 Porsche 918 Spyder. For comparison, the Tesla Model S P100D costs about about $135,000. Also, those cars have just two seats each and barely any luggage space. The Tesla Model S, on other hand, has two spacious trunks and can seat up to seven, including two small children facing rearward. The Tesla Model S, with its Ludicrous Easter Egg mode, can beat million-dollar Ferraris and Porsches off the line. The Model S is also a fairly heavy car, but in this case that helps. The Tesla's nearly 5,000 pound weight, not 2/3 including occupants, helps its tires grip the road, said Motor Trend writer Frank Markus.

Mclaren AIMS for POLE POSITION in PARIS
Media Information EMBARGOED: 16:45.BST, 18 September 2012 McLAREN AIMS FOR POLE POSITION IN PARIS McLaren Automotive will use its first ever international motor show appearance to preview its next generation ultimate supercar – the McLaren P1™ – which takes much of its technological and spiritual inspiration from the company’s Racing division. The McLaren P1™ has one simple goal: to be the best driver’s car in the world on road and track. At the Paris Motor Show, Mondial de l'Automobile 2012, the McLaren P1™ is previewed as a design study. Next year a production version, which the company aims to put on sale within 12 months, will be revealed. ‘The McLaren P1™ will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage,’ says McLaren Automotive Executive Chairman Ron Dennis. ‘Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1™ is to redefine it once again.’ ‘Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,’ says McLaren Automotive Managing Director Antony Sheriff. ‘It is the true test of a supercar’s all round ability and a much more important technical statement. Our goal is to make the McLaren P1™ the most exciting, most capable, most technologically advanced and most dynamically accomplished supercar ever made.’ When the McLaren P1™ goes into production later next year, it will sit above the 12C and 12C Spider, in terms of both price and performance.
