A bold move that is against today’s landscape is the announcement of McLaren<\/strong> focusing solely on supercars with no future SUV release. Unlike the competition that has ‘sporty’ SUV’s to help fund their R&D, McLaren is having none of it.<\/p>\n

AutoNews<\/a> reports that McLaren will not be following Porsche, Bentley, Tesla, Jaguar, or Rolls Royce(!) in watering down their brand with an SUV release. President of McLaren North America, Tony Joseph, says,<\/p>\n

“We have been a company in existence for a long time prior to automotive and we’re a profitable company, so there’s really no need to go into SUVs.\u00a0We want to concentrate just on two-seat sports cars and be known as the iconic sports car company.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
