It might surprise you to know that McLaren Automotive<\/a>, as an entity, has only been around for 12 years. While the first car that was produced by McLaren was the F1 back in 1992\u20131993, that was released under a division of the company proper that was simply named McLaren Cars. In fact, between 1994 and 2010, McLaren Cars was registered with the government of the UK as a dormant company.<\/p>\n

It was dormant still when the Mercedes-Mclaren SLR<\/a> was made, as that was technically a Mercedes-Benz. However, working on the SLR made some of the higher-ups at the company begin to think that maybe there was a place in the market for a supercar, or even multiple models of supercars, from the company that made the F1. There was really only one way to find out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
