Can McLaren Win Le Mans Again?

McLaren will return to the top class of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2027, more than three decades after the F1 GTR won at its first attempt.

This time, it will race the MCL-HY, a purpose-built hybrid prototype created for the FIA World Endurance Championship. The car combines a carbon fibre monocoque, a twin-turbocharged V6 and a hybrid motor-generator system producing up to 520kW, or 707PS, at the rear axle.

Those figures are impressive. Le Mans, however, is rarely decided by one specification. The winning car must remain quick, efficient and dependable for an entire day and night.

The automotive sector has seen some exciting cars in recent times but few are as stunning and technologically sound as the all-new McLaren Artura Hybrid. It is, in fact, the first completely new model the British automaker has produced in over a decade and the first hybrid since the McLaren P1.

The real race towards electrification starts with the new McLaren Artura which they refer to as its first High-Performance Hybrid model. Indeed, the P1 was first but it was a 375-unit special edition whereas the Artura is a full production car complete with a brand new engine and chassis.

For the few who don’t know, McLaren Cars were founded in 1985 which later became McLaren Automotive. Today, they remain a successful British car manufacturer based at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey where their primary focus is on sports cars.

In 2017, McLaren constructed a £50m McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) at the Advanced Manufacturing Park between Sheffield and Rotherham. The facility is responsible for building carbon fibre chassis for all McLaren road cars.

McLaren Automotive became a 100% owned subsidiary of the wider McLaren Group in July 2017 and recently celebrated selling their 20,000th car. It will be hand-assembled at the McLaren Production Centre (MPC) in Surrey.
