Mike Flewitt, CEO of luxury supercar maker McLaren Automotive, today confirmed the introduction of the brand\u2019s all-new, flexible, lightweight vehicle architecture which will underpin its next generation of electrified supercars.<\/p>\n

The new architecture, designed specifically to accommodate new hybrid powertrains, has been entirely engineered, developed and produced in-house in the UK at McLaren\u2019s \u00a350m state-of-the-art McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) in the Sheffield region.<\/p>

The new flexible vehicle architecture utilizes innovative, world-first processes and techniques to strip out excess mass, reduce overall vehicle weight, while also further improving safety attributes.<\/p>\n

It will underpin the next generation of McLaren hybrid models as the supercar company enters its second decade of series vehicle production.<\/p>\n

The first new McLaren hybrid supercar to be based on the all-new architecture will launch in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new ground-breaking vehicle architecture is every bit as revolutionary as the MonoCell chassis we introduced with the company\u2019s first car, the 12C, when we first embarked on making production vehicles a decade ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis 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 recognized as a global center of excellence in composite materials science and manufacturing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur advanced expertize 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.\u201d
Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Flewitt said the new architecture would enable McLaren to transition to 100 per cent electrified supercars.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, light-weighting and electrification go hand-in-hand to achieve better performance as well as more efficient vehicles,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/span><\/p>\n
