McLaren Supercars to Invest Millions in Yorkshire Factory
- On Tuesday, British supercar maker McLaren announced a £500 million investment in UK manufacturing to develop new models, including its first-ever SUV, targeting higher profit margins.
- Following an acquisition by Abu Dhabi's CYVN Holdings last year, McLaren seeks to reverse a sales decline that saw volume fall to about 2,000 cars in 2025 from less than 3,300 in 2024.
- Expanding the product portfolio with an SUV will help lower material costs, McLaren Chief Operating Officer Michael Straughan said, citing growth success at Lamborghini and Bentley in the segment.
- Building a new assembly plant in England will create 1,000 jobs by 2032; McLaren CEO Nick Collins said the company will pursue electric vehicles only when customers demand them.
- Amid industry-wide restructuring at Volkswagen and Jaguar Land Rover, Prime Minister Andy Burnham praised the investment, saying McLaren is "doubling down on Britain" with this commitment.
