|
November 21, 2011

The 34,500-square metre facility will house the assembly of all future McLaren Automotive road cars, including the recently- launched MP4-12C high-performance sports car; it has already led to the creation of a large number of skilled manufacturing jobs. The state-of-the-art McLaren Production Centre is located to the south-west of the existing McLaren Technology Centre. The two buildings are connected by a subterranean walkway and share a common language of details and materials.
