McLaren to build another road car

Ron Dennis has confirmed that McLaren will be building another road car of its own design after the current project with Mercedes-Benz comes to an end in around five years from now. The Mercedes SLR McLaren is now in production at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking and a design study has been begun into a new project which will be badged as a McLaren. It is not clear which sector of the market the new car will be aimed at but it is unlikely to be a supercar like the original BMW-engined McLaren F1 road car.
