McLaren Automotive is a British manufacturer of luxury, high-performance sports cars and supercars headquartered in Woking, Surrey, England. Founded in 1985 as a road car division of the McLaren Group, the company traces its heritage to Bruce McLaren's founding of the McLaren racing team in 1963. McLaren Automotive began series production of road cars in 2011 with the MP4-12C and has since established itself as one of the foremost producers of mid-engine supercars and hypercars in the world. The company's product range is organized into tiers: the GT line for grand touring, the Supercar line including the Artura hybrid, and the Ultimate Series encompassing limited-production hypercars. McLaren is distinguished by its extensive use of carbon fiber construction, a technology the company pioneered in Formula One and transferred to its road cars. Every McLaren road car is built around a carbon fiber monocell chassis, providing exceptional rigidity at minimal weight. The McLaren Technology Centre in Woking serves as both the engineering headquarters and production facility, where cars are assembled largely by hand. The company maintains a global network of retail locations and has delivered vehicles to customers in over 40 countries. McLaren Automotive operates independently from the McLaren Racing Formula One team, though both entities share the McLaren Group as their parent organization.
