Si haces memoria, recordarás que McLaren logró vencer las 24 Horas de Le Mans con el McLaren F1 en 1995, en una de las carreras más épicas que recordamos, venciendo a prototipos y GTs diseñados para carreras con un coche que, en su desarrollo, no se había pensado para competir, logrando además copar cuatro de las cinco primeras plazas. Ahora, la firma de Woking ha confirmado que volverá a Le Mans en 2016, y lo hará para la futura categoría unificada de GT, que unirá a los coches de GT3 con los GTE. Para ese año Martin Whitmarsh ha dicho que quieren tener listo un GT de acuerdo al nuevo reglamento para intentar reverdecer laureles, aunque en esta ocasión, viendo las prestaciones de los prototipos de Le Mans, McLaren tendrá que conformarse con luchar por la victoria en la categoría de GT.
Aún así, ver una lucha Ferrari-Corvette-Aston Martin-Porsche-McLaren en la categoría de Gran Turismo de Le Mans será un caramelo tremendamente apetitoso.
http://es.autoblog.com/2013/11/08/mclaren-volvera-a-le-mans-en-2016/ A mi me parece que decirlo a 3 años vista es demasiado pronto, porque nunca se sabe lo que pasará, pero bueno. Lo bueno es que cuantas mas marcas hayan mejor, ya que mas interesante se pondrá la competición
😀 McLaren Automotive colaborará en el futuro de la tecnologia de combustiónSe asocia con BMW (entre otros) para el desarrollo de motores que llevará McLaren en sus modelos de calle. Asi mejoraria sus motores y reducirian consumo y CO2, aunque seguirán siendo propios
nota de prensa, en inglés
McLAREN AUTOMOTIVE COLLABORATES ON FUTURE COMBUSTION TECHNOLOGYMcLaren Automotive has announced a strategic project to design and develop technology for the next generation of powertrains. Working with a number of partners including BMW Group, the project will develop new combustion technology that will deliver a higher output per capacity than currently possible. It also aims to further facilitate CO2 reductions while simultaneously increasing engine output. The technology is destined for application in future McLaren engines.
The project, supported and part-funded by UK Government through the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), will also improve the UK’s development and production capabilities of low-CO2 internal combustion engine technology. The project will be led by McLaren Automotive but involves a total of six partners. McLaren Automotive will work with its existing engine manufacturing partner, Ricardo, and BMW Group while Grainger and Worrall will deliver complex, lightweight casting technology. Lentus Composites will contribute knowledge in specialist composite structures. Completing the syndicate is the University of Bath who bring their advanced research and development capabilities in internal combustion engine systems efficiency.
Commenting on the collaboration, Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Automotive, Mike Flewitt, said:
[i]‘This is an exciting project that plays to the strengths of all partners. McLaren Automotive has an exceptional reputation for building the world’s finest engines, as showcased by our M838T and its previous category wins in the International Engine of the Year awards. We will continue to independently design and build our own engines, and the benefits of this project will help us accelerate the development of our next generation of powertrain, as confirmed in our recently-announced Track22 business plan.’[/i] Presenta una nueva plataforma adaptada a la hibridación

McLaren unveils all-new, innovative lightweight vehicle architecture
25 Aug 2020
Mike Flewitt, CEO of luxury supercar maker McLaren Automotive, today confirmed the introduction of the brand’s all-new, flexible, lightweight vehicle architecture which will underpin its next generation of electrified supercars.
The new architecture, designed specifically to accommodate new hybrid powertrains, has been entirely engineered, developed and produced in-house in the UK at McLaren’s £50m state-of-the-art McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) in the Sheffield region.
The new flexible vehicle architecture utilises innovative, world-first processes and techniques to strip out excess mass, reduce overall vehicle weight, while also further improving safety attributes.
It will underpin the next generation of McLaren hybrid models as the supercar company enters its second decade of series vehicle production.
The first new McLaren hybrid supercar to be based on the all-new architecture will launch in 2021.
“The new ground-breaking vehicle architecture is every bit as revolutionary as the MonoCell chassis we introduced with the company’s first car, the 12C, when we first embarked on making production vehicles a decade ago.
“This new, ultra-lightweight carbon fibre chassis boasts greater structural integrity and higher levels of quality than ever before with our new MCTC facility quickly becoming recognised as a global centre of excellence in composite materials science and manufacturing.
“Our advanced expertise in light weight composites processes and manufacturing combined with our experience in cutting-edge battery technology and high-performance hybrid propulsion systems means we are ideally placed to deliver to customers levels of electrified high-performance motoring that until now have simply been unattainable.”
Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive.Mr Flewitt said the new architecture would enable McLaren to transition to 100 per cent electrified supercars.
“For us, light-weighting and electrification go hand-in-hand to achieve better performance as well as more efficient vehicles,” he said.
Si, más bien es el monocasco, no la plataforma. La costumbre en los coches normales
Es la base para los nuevos modelos
McLaren vende su sede en Woking por 197 millones de euros y acuerda un alquiler para los próximos 20 años.
Filtrados los nombre de los próximos modelos Mclaren.
Los nombres serían Aonic, Aeron y Solus. Según CarBuzz estos nombre se usarían para futuros modelos eléctricos.
