McLaren has announced the Super Series has become the highest volume carbon fiber supercar range ever, with 5,000 units assembled since production began in early 2011.
The Super Series includes the McLaren 12C and 650S, as well as the Asia-only 625C. McLaren has built the 5,000th model based on the carbon fiber MonoCell chassis in only the fourth full year of vehicle production.
This production milestone comes shortly after McLaren announced a third consecutive growth in sales, with more than 1,400 Super Series models being delivered during 2014.
Launched initially with the 12C in 2011, and followed by the 12C Spider and then the 650S and Asia-only 625C, the Super Series has become the highest volume carbon fiber supercar range ever.
The 5,000th car is a Volcano Yellow McLaren 650S Coupé commissioned for a customer in Australia. The car rolled off the assembly line in the McLaren Production Center on February 2 and was joined at the end of the production line by the first production 12C, which is part of the McLaren Heritage Collection.
The Sports Series family of models will be soon expanded with the recently-announced McLaren 675LT, which will have its world debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March.
“We have built a solid foundation for the business, delivering record numbers year on year, and I look forward to our next production milestone with the addition of the 675LT to the Super Series, and the new Sports Series later in the year,” said Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer at McLaren Automotive.
