McLaren has eschewed the trend to deliver a ‘Supercar SUV’ so far, but it looks like it’s now seriously under consideration. It’s 20 years since Porsche revealed the Cayenne SUV and turned the world of high-end sports car and supercars upside down. Panned by Porsche anoraks, that first Cayenne was a far from good-looking SUV, […]
Will a McLaren F1 GTR run on DIESEL? It seems not.
Wealthy petrolhead Francois Perrodo managed to fill up the tank on his McLaren F1 FTR at BP in Chiswick with diesel. Which won’t be a cheap fix. The McLaren F1 is perhaps the most celebrated, and expensive, supercar ever made (challenged only by the Ferrari 250 GTO) and only 64 road cars and even fewer […]

New McLaren 765LT Spider – another incrementally better Super Series McLaren
The new McLaren 765LT Spider arrives to top McLaren’s Super Series range as a 755bhp open-top supercar. Costs from £310,500. It’s hard not to admire McLaren’s road cars, but it does also feel like a Russian Doll array of the same car in different sizes and different specs. And here’s another one; same basic looks, […]
McLaren Elva finally gets a windscreen to help flog a few more
The McLaren Elva – McLaren’s roofless Ultimate Series offering – is now being offered with a windscreen as McLaren try to flog the last of the run. It’s eighteen months since the McLaren Elva was revealed as yet another take on McLaren’s basic recipe, this time with the USP of having no glass and no […]
McLaren MSO will paint YOUR McLaren in ‘Gulf’ livery. But why would you?
McLaren has revealed a McLaren 720S by MSO finished in historic Gulf livery to celebrate McLaren’s renewed association with Gulf. McLaren has managed, until the arrival of the new Atura, to build a complete range of supercars using the same basic tub and engine ever since the MP12-4C arrived. But despite the similarity in looks […]

The all-new McLaren Artura arrives as the first of McLaren’s mainstream plug-in hybrids, with 671bhp and prices from £185,500. McLaren has built a supercar business on the back of producing ‘new’ cars which are the same basic recipe of the same carbon fibre tub and the same V8 engine. But no more. Now, McLaren is […]

New McLaren Artura Hybrid – the new Sports Series McLaren – will debut on 17 February
The McLaren Artura, McLaren’s new hybrid supercar replacement for the McLaren Sports Series, will make its debut on 17 February. McLaren has become very good at launching ‘new’ cars, but all are pretty much a variant on a common theme. But that’s about to change with the arrival of a proper new McLaren – the […]
McLaren Sabre: McLaren’s most powerful non-hybrid V8 yet – but only for the USA
The McLaren Sabre is revealed as McLaren’s most powerful non-hybrid V8 yet, with 824bhp and just 15 cars built for the US market. McLaren have been digging down the back of the sofa for a few bob lately to address the Covid-shaped hole in their finances, so a limited run of daftly-priced cars is a […]
