McLAREN SPORTS SERIES USP’S

A Pure McLaren, designed and hand-built in the same facility as the award winning P1™ and our Formula 1 race team

carbon fibre Monocell II chassis

come together to deliver the purest, most rewarding and engaging driving experience in its class, on both road and
track

Sports Series’ design is the result of McLaren design philosophy where, as in nature, beauty is a by-product of function

Designed around the driver and the optimised technical package , a shrink-wrapped aerodynamic body delivers class
leading visibility and driving ergonomics making the car easy to position on the road or track whilst still being relaxing to
drive

tastes and requirements:
