From Racing to Supercars: The Legacy of McLaren Automotive
Bruce McLaren, a New Zealand racing driver and engineer, founded McLaren Motor Racing in 1963 and primarily focused on developing racing cars for the Formula One and Can-Am series. The company achieved its first Grand Prix victory in 1968 and has continued to win multiple championships throughout the years.
McLaren Automotive was founded in the mid 80’s, originally as McLaren Cars, and focused on producing luxury cars, mainly supercars, releasing the McLaren F1 in 1992. The McLaren F1 was lauded as ground-breaking, setting new standards for performance and engineering, and was considered the fastest car in the world at the time.
Focusing on lightweight construction, aerodynamics and advanced engineering, the F1 features a unique three-seat configuration, with the driver positioned in the centre of the cock pit and the two passengers positioned slightly further back, on either side. With a body made almost entirely of carbon fibre and a 6.1 litre V12 engine, the F1 produces 627 horsepower, and is capable of a top speed of 240mph, and 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds.
In the 2000’s, McLaren continues to be involved in various motorsport activities, as well as producing high performance road cars, including the MP4-12C, 650S and the Artura hybrid supercar, as well as introducing the 570S to the world.

The McLaren 570S is a high-performance sports car that McLaren Automotive introduced in 2015, and was designed to be a more accessible and practical alternative to the company’s flagship models, whilst still delivering the performance and driving experience that McLaren had become know for. The 570s is a two-seater coupe, combining lightweight construction, advanced aerodynamics and a powerful 3.8 litre V8 engine.
The V8 engine produces 562 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 204 mph and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. Just like the F1, the 570S has a lightweight, carbon fibre chassis and body, and with the front splitter and active rear spoiler that work together to generate downforce and improve stability at high speeds, enables the acceleration and handling needed.
For safety, the 570S also features advanced suspension and braking systems, with adaptive dampers, anti-roll bars, and carbon-ceramic brake discs that provide both handling and stopping power.
Overall, the McLaren 570S is seen to be a true driver’s car, that delivers the thrilling driving experience and exceptional performance expected from McLaren’s flagship models, but with a much more practical and accessible package.
