McLaren suppercar
McLaren Automotive will make an ”affordable” £150,000 supercar, the 12C, at a new British plant.
A 32,000 square metre, £40 million, plant at Woking in Surrey will be completed in 12 months to produce the high-performance MP4-12C car as well as creating up to 300 new jobs.
Using a one-piece carbon-fibre chassis is enabling McLaren to offer the car for around half the £300,000 price tag that would normally be expected.
McLaren said it expects to make up to 1,000 of the 12C cars in 2011 with annual manufacturing of cars at the new centre reaching around 4,000 by the middle of the decade.
The company plans to sell the 12C through McLaren retailers in 19 countries, with North America expected to account for around 30%-40% of the market.
