The McLaren Production Centre is now set up with all tooling in place for the new model.
The McLaren Production Centre in Woking, England is now in the pre-production phase for the Sports Series 570S and 540C Coupé that go on sale this fall. These are so called affordable models, if your definition of attainable encompasses ~$200,000.
The Sports Series has covered in excess of 500,000 testing kilometers, on race circuits and roads, including the extreme heat of the Arizona and Nevada summers, the Arctic conditions common of northern Sweden in the winter and, of course, the unpredictable British weather.
“This final phase brings all testing together for the first time in a package that is representative of the cars our owners will be taking delivery of,” said Andreas Bareis, Executive Director Quality at McLaren Automotive.
The McLaren Production Centre is now set up with all tooling in place for the new model. It will see the integration of the Sports Series into the production line along with the Super Series, underlining the flexibility of the MPC if all goes well. When the full family has been launched, forecast at the end of 2017, the range is should more than double the annual volume of McLaren.
