THE HISTORY

It is it’s remarkable company history and tradition what makes McLaren an integral part of our Luxury Car Rentals fleet in Sydney

As part of our luxury rentals in Sydney, we love the close roots the founder had with this part of the world. Let’s start from the top. McLaren Automotive was first known as McLaren Cars. Founded in 1985 by Ron Dennis, the company went on to release the McLaren F1 in 1992. Between 1994 and 2010, McLaren Cars was listed as a ‘dormant company’, before the rebrand of McLaren Automotive in 2010. As a British automotive manufacturer, its headquarters are at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey. Although there are other by-products, the main crops from the company are sports cars. These are almost always produced in-house. It was only July 2017 when McLaren Automotive became a fully owned subsidiary of the McLaren Group.

THE HISTORY

(Continued)

Born in 1937, Bruce McLaren was a Formula One Driver. No stranger to race cars, he learnt about cars and engineering at his parent’s service station and workshop in his hometown of Auckland, New Zealand. By the time McLaren turned 15, he had won his first race in an Austin 7 Ulster. In 1958, McLaren landed in the UK with the ‘Driver to Europe’ scheme and the sole intention was to help Aussie and New Zealand racers compete in Europe. By the age of 22, McLaren won the US Grand Prix, making him the youngest Grand Prix winner of his time. He then went on to establish McLaren Motor Racing in 1963 and a year later, they built their first car.
