Under the guidance of Chief Design Officer Tobias Sühlmann, McLaren Automotive introduces five core design principles that will shape the identity of their upcoming models: Epic, Athletic, Functional, Focused, and Intelligent.

The ‘Epic’ design aims to capture the heart with bold and striking aesthetics, drawing inspiration from McLaren’s rich racing heritage.

The influence of Formula 1 and GT racers is evident in the design language, with elements like the jet-fighter-style sliding canopy and quad-exit exhaust system adding a touch of exhilaration to the overall look.

But it’s not just about looks – the ‘Athletic’ design ensures that McLaren’s future supercars not only look fast but also perform at the highest level.

Muscular bodywork and efficient packaging of powertrain components optimize aerodynamics and weight distribution, delivering a driving experience like never before.

‘Functional’ elements serve a purpose beyond aesthetics, focusing on maximizing performance and efficiency.

From innovative aerodynamics to lightweight materials, every aspect of the design is geared towards enhancing the driving experience.

A ‘Focused’ approach ensures that every detail contributes to the overall performance and driver experience. From ergonomics to information displays, McLaren’s future models will prioritize clarity and precision.

Finally, the ‘Intelligent’ design elements integrate advanced materials and technologies to make their future cars a complete package.

From lightweight materials to seamless design integration, McLaren is committed to delivering supercars that not only thrill but also respect the environment.

With these core principles at the forefront, McLaren’s supercars promise to be more than just vehicles – they will be proof of the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence.
