The 20,000th car to be hand-assembled at McLaren Production Centre in Woking, Surrey has just been celebrated by McLaren Automotive.
The luxury British sportscar and supercar company built its 20,000th car, a right-hand drive 600LT Spider in chicane grey from the Sports Series line-up.
This milestone comes eight years after the first McLaren road car left the production centre in July 2011.
“Achieving our 20,000th car built is an important milestone for McLaren Automotive. Last year we hand-assembled just over 4800 cars and we plan to maintain around 5000 cars a year for the immediate future,” says McLaren Automotive chief executive officer Mike Flewitt.
McLaren’s production reached just over 4800 in 2018 and output will remain around 5000 a year into the next decade before increasing to 6000 before the end of the Track25 business plan.
The second production shift in 2016 has seen production double from around 10 cars to over 20 a day. Over 90% of vehicles built in Woking are exported to more than 32 markets around the world.
“It’s a testament to the hard work, dedication and commitment from our McLaren Production Centre employees that we’re now able to produce 20 cars a day across many different vehicle types and variants,” says McLaren Automotive chief operating officer Jens Ludmann.
