New Mclaren 720S GT3 Takes Victory in Melbourne on Customer Debut MEDIA Media information 14.00 GMT, March 18, 2019 — New McLaren 720S GT3 takes victory in Melbourne on customer debut ▪ Customer team 59Racing secures historic first-ever pole positon and race win for the McLaren 720S GT3 ▪ Victory at Melbourne’s Albert Park for the track-only Super Series model on competitive customer debut ▪ Race wins and further podium finishes for McLaren 570S GT4 in Australia and United States The McLaren 720S GT3 scored pole position and a memorable victory on its first ever race in customer hands during the opening round of the Australian GT Championship at the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne, Australia. Newly-launched McLaren customer team 59Racing enjoyed strong results in both the GT3 and GT4 categories, racing as part of the support package for the opening round of the 2019 Formula 1 World Championship. The 570S GT4 of customer team Motorsports In Action also performed well in the United States to secure a podium finish, and now leads the Michelin Pilot Challenge. The 720S GT3 made its customer team debut at the iconic Melbourne street circuit, driven by Australian GT regular Fraser Ross. The experience of the Melbourne local, combined with the strengths of the newly- developed 720S GT3, were evident over a one-lap sprint as he claimed P2 in the first qualifying session and topping the timesheets during the second qualifying session to secure the first ever pole position for the car. The first of the weekend’s racing action saw Ross in a three-way battle for the lead throughout the opening laps of the 25-minute sprint race. A bold move in the latter stages of the race saw Ross take the lead and then gradually extend the gap to the chasing pack, eventually crossing the line with a 2.2 second lead to record the historic debut victory for the team and for the McLaren 720S GT3. Building on this success, the second race saw further silverware as Ross steered the 720S GT3 to a hard-fought P2 finish, and second podium of the weekend. The 570S GT4 of 59Racing also enjoyed a strong weekend, driven by Ryan Simpson. Making his first ever race start in a McLaren, Simpson narrowly missed out on GT4 class victory in the opening race, crossing the line in P2. From here, the 31-year old went on to improve this result with three victories in the remaining races of the weekend. The track-only Sports Series model was also racing in the USA over the weekend, in the support races at the FIA World Endurance Championship-IMSA double-header event at Sebring International Raceway in Florida. Customer team Motorsports In Action continued its strong start to the season with a second consecutive podium finish in the Michelin Pilot Challenge Grand Sport class. Throughout the two-hour race, drivers Corey Fergus and Jesse Lazare were in the hunt for the overall race lead. As the race entered the final few laps, the duo in the #69 570S GT4 was still pushing for the top step of the podium. Despite their best efforts, and with the chasing pack closing the gap, the pair eventually crossed the line P3. As a result, the Canadian outfit now leads in the overall championship standings. MEDIA “This weekend has been hugely significant for our customer teams and the 720S GT3, but also for McLaren Customer Racing. I’d like to pass on my congratulations to 59Racing for taking pole position and race wins with both the 720S GT3 and 570S GT4 on the first outing for the team. Also, well done to Motorsports In Action after a great result in Sebring, which sees them now leading the championship. “Any race win is a significant achievement, especially against such strong opposition. However, this first win for the 720S GT3 is a particularly proud moment for McLaren Customer Racing. We have seen the car performing strongly throughout the testing programme, but it is really great to see the car competing on track with the first of our customer teams, and hitting the ground running with a pole position and race win straight out of the box is a very strong foundation on which to build.” Dan Walmsley, Motorsport Director, McLaren Automotive. Ends Notes to editors: The McLaren 720S GT3 made a successful race debut at the Abu Dhabi 12 Hours in December 2018, leading for much of the event, following an intensive test and development programme. More than 90 percent of the components that make up the 720S GT3 are bespoke to the car, and each of these have been carefully designed specifically to optimise on-track performance. One key component which is shared with the road-going model is at the very heart of the 720S GT3, namely the carbon fibre chassis. The lightweight MonoCage II debuted on the 720S Coupé and offers excellent structural rigidity and protection as a crash structure. It is on to this that the FIA-homologated rollcage is added, offering even greater levels of protection to the driver. The mid-mounted motorsport-prepared version of the 4.0-litre twin turbo V8 M840T engine is mated to a six-speed sequential motorsport transmission, channelling power through the rear wheels. Lightweight materials are used extensively throughout the car, and carbon fibre is not only limited to the chassis. The aerodynamically-sculpted bodywork – wrapped tautly over the motorsport focused underpinnings – is entirely formed of carbon fibre. A selection of high resolution images accompanying this release is available to download from the McLaren Automotive media site – cars.mclaren.press About McLaren Automotive: McLaren Automotive is a creator of luxury, high-performance sportscars and supercars.

  • Mia Flewitt Secures Second Successive Pure Mclaren GT Series Title in Bahrain
    MEDIA Media release 13.00 GMT, November 29, 2019 Mia Flewitt secures second successive Pure McLaren GT Series title in Bahrain ▪ Mia Flewitt successfully defends Pure McLaren GT Series championship title ▪ Race wins for Al-Khalifa, Ojjeh and Proctor as 2019 season concludes in Bahrain ▪ First ever night races for Pure McLaren GT Series The final event of the 2019 FIA-approved Pure McLaren GT Series season took place in Bahrain on November 26-28 with a field of 19 McLaren 570S GT4 cars competing on the 5.412 km (3.363 mi) Sakhir circuit, also home to the Bahrain Grand Prix. With the championship set to be decided, there was a lot at stake in the final three races of the season, with reigning champion Mia Flewitt aiming to fend off rookie challenger Nick Moss. Adding to the excitement, these would be the first ever Pure McLaren GT Series races to be held at night. Heading both title contenders in qualifying on the opening day of the event, however, was invitation class driver Isa Al-Khalifa, who took pole position for race one. Points leader Flewitt would share the front of the grid, fastest of the championship competitors but Moss was unable to lap within a second of the pole time, and joined Issam Charrouf on the next row. Despite dropping to fourth place on the opening lap, Al-Khalifa quickly recovered to win the opening race. Meanwhile there was plenty of action behind, mostly from Moss who tailed leader Flewitt on the opening tour before falling to fifth, sparking a stirring recovery drive.

  • Grand Tourer’
    MEDIA Media information 8:00 ET, April 3, 2019 — McLaren readies rule-breaking ‘Grand Tourer’ . The McLaren of Grand Tourers reveals its sleek, elegant shape . First announced by CEO, Mike Flewitt, during McLaren’s Geneva press conference . Disguising camouflage to be removed in May . The fourth McLaren to be revealed under the company’sTrack25 business plan . Follow cars.mclaren.com/newrules McLaren has removed the shape-changing, additional body panels previously used to hide the form of its imminent, rule-breaking ‘Grand Tourer’. The car’s sleek and boldly elegant design can now be discerned although the lightweight body remains covered by a shrink-wrapped livery that suggests the number of established rules the McLaren of Grand Tourers will break. The company is promising it will begin to peel off this disguise this May. The application of the shrink-wrap will also enable the Development Team to enter the closing stages of the car’s extensive evaluation program, which has already encompassed thousands of miles in hot and cold climates across the globe. The ‘Grand Tourer’ has proven its ability to cover long distances in supreme comfort, but always with extra shape-changing and noise-inducing panels applied. Now that these have been removed, the Development Team will run further validation tests, including a 1,000 mile drive from McLaren’s development base near Barcelona, Spain, back to the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England. To be completed in one stint with two occupants and a full complement of luggage, this is one of many long-distance drives that will help the team to confirm the new model is both comfortable and refined over the long distances a grand tourer is expected to consume … one rule that McLaren won’t be breaking.

  • First Mclaren Speedtail Attribute Prototype, ‘Albert’ Squares up to Rigorous Real-World Testing As Development Accelerates
    MEDIA Media Information 08:00 EST, November 09, 2018 — First McLaren Speedtail attribute prototype, ‘Albert’ squares up to rigorous real-world testing as development accelerates ▪ McLaren’s new ‘Hyper GT’ embarks on year-long test regime underpinning development of new center-seat, 250mph hybrid ▪ Closed-facility testing of the fastest McLaren ever now underway; public road trials due to commence in December 2018 ▪ Attribute prototypes join Speedtail ‘mules’ in ongoing durability testing ▪ First attribute prototype affectionately christened ‘Albert’, in tribute to its famous McLaren F1 forebear that was designed in Albert Drive, Woking, Surrey UK ▪ First customer deliveries of McLaren Speedtail due early 2020 The first hybrid powertrain prototype of McLaren Automotive’s breathtaking new Ultimate Series flagship, the McLaren Speedtail, officially embarks this week on a year-long test regime that will underpin the development of the first McLaren Hyper-GT. The punishing test program in the run-up to production commencing at the end of 2019 will see Speedtail prototypes running in Europe, North America and Africa, initially at bespoke automotive test facilities but later amongst traffic on ‘normal’ roads. Deployment of the first Speedtail attribute prototype marks an exciting new stage in the development of the fastest, most aerodynamic and most luxurious McLaren ever made. The prototype is officially designated MVY02* but echoing the naming of development test mules of its legendary forebear, the 1992 McLaren F1, has been christened, ‘Albert’. This is a respectful reflection not only on the name of the McLaren F1 mule ‘Albert’ but also the Albert Drive premises in which the F1 was designed.

  • Secrets of the Speedtail: the Race-Bred Electric Drive and Ground-Breaking Battery Technology in Mclaren's Hybrid Hyper-GT
    MEDIA Media release 8:00a.m. ET April 30, 2020 — Secrets of the Speedtail: the race-bred electric drive and ground-breaking battery technology in McLaren’s hybrid Hyper-GT . McLaren Speedtail has the highest specific battery power of any production road car . Hybrid Hyper-GT uses motorsport technology to supplement twin-turbocharged V8 . Innovative battery cooling system enables electric drive to work harder for longer Following the announcement that the Speedtail – the fastest McLaren ever – had completed high- speed validation tests in the United States and reached its maximum speed of 250mph more than 30 times, McLaren engineers have been asked one question more than any other: ‘How does Speedtail go that fast?’ The answer is that a combination of attributes, including aerodynamic excellence and low vehicle weight, delivers the hybrid Hyper-GT’s astonishing performance. Fundamental to this is a race-bred electric drive system that incorporates pioneering battery technology to set a new benchmark for hybridised efficiency. This unlocks the Speedtail’s intense acceleration from standstill to 186mph in a breath-taking 13 seconds and maximum speed of 250mph. The M840TQ powertrain comprises a 4.0-liter internal combustion engine and an electric drive unit, which together develop up to 1,055bhp and maximum torque of 848lb ft. The V8 engine features technology that has evolved from McLaren’s first hybrid hypercar, the legendary McLaren P1™. A new lightweight air-intake system, improved cylinder head cooling and a revised piston design contribute 747bhp and 590lb ft of ‘traditional’ petrol-powered output to the Speedtail. The electric motor, which uses Formula E-derived technology, generates more than 308bhp (230kW).

  • Mclaren Automotive and Richard Mille Unveil Exclusive RM 40-01 Speedtail Timepiece
    MEDIA Media release 08.30 EST May 12, 2021 — McLaren Automotive and Richard Mille unveil exclusive RM 40-01 Speedtail timepiece . Limited edition of 106 timepieces to match the exclusivity of the 106 Speedtail hypercars built by McLaren Automotive . The most extreme watch ever made at Richard Mille matched to a specific hypercar design of the fastest road-going car McLaren has ever built . First use of in-house developed power reserve indicator, large oversize date and function selectors on the Richard Mille automatic in-house tourbillon As luxury supercar maker McLaren Automotive and Richard Mille enter the fifth year of their ongoing partnership, they reveal their latest and most ambitious collaboration to date - the RM 40-01 Automatic Tourbillon McLaren Speedtail. As the name suggests, this remarkable and unique watch honors the fastest, most advanced and most exotic road car McLaren has yet produced - the futuristic looking Speedtail. Based on the form of a teardrop, the most aerodynamically efficient shape found in nature, the Speedtail is the apotheosis of the streamlined hypercar, a three-seat hyper grand tourer that became the third car in McLaren's Ultimate line-up. With its 1,070-horsepower hybrid powertrain, the Speedtail covers 112 meters per second when travelling at its top speed of 250mph, making it the fastest McLaren road car to date. McLaren's relentless pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency provided the starting point for the design of the RM 40- 01 Automatic Tourbillon McLaren Speedtail. "There are many similarities between the way that Richard Mille and McLaren approach common design and engineering challenges, such as saving weight, reducing vibrational impact and minimizing resistance.’’ said Rob Melville, McLaren Automotive’s design director, with the new RM 40-01 perfectly demonstrating why the two brands make ideal partners.
