McLaren is heading into a major shift: after years focused on supercars and hypercars, the British brand is developing its first SUV. The move is backed by a strong financial boost that will support new projects and a broader lineup.
For Italian enthusiasts, this is a significant turn, because McLaren built its image on extreme, lightweight cars. Now, like many premium rivals, the Woking manufacturer is looking at a more versatile and profitable model, one that can attract new buyers without giving up its sporting identity.
