McLaren 750S Crowned Top Gear Performance Car Of The Year For Outstanding Performance
The McLaren 750S has been awarded Top Gear Magazine’s Performance Car of the Year. This accolade follows its triumph in Top Gear's annual Speed Week performance test. The award ceremony took place in London on November 26, where McLaren received the trophy.
During Speed Week, the 750S was evaluated on both road and track. The testing occurred at the Navarra circuit in northern Spain and continued on the scenic roads of Pamplona. The car's exceptional performance impressed the judges, leading to its victory.
The judges praised the 750S for its outstanding performance and driver engagement. They highlighted its agility, responsiveness, and ability to adapt to driver inputs. "Very few cars engage your senses like the 750S," noted Top Gear Magazine, December 2024.
Michael Leiters, CEO of McLaren Automotive, expressed gratitude for the recognition. He stated, "Thank you to Top Gear for naming the McLaren 750S its Performance Car of the Year." Leiters emphasised McLaren's commitment to pushing boundaries in supercar performance.

Pioneering Supercar Technology
In 1981, McLaren introduced carbon fibre chassis technology into Formula 1 with the MP4/1 model. This innovation laid the foundation for their supercar DNA. The legendary McLaren F1 road car followed in 1993.
The company launched its first production car, the McLaren 12C, in 2011. In 2013, they unveiled their first hybrid hypercar, the P1™, which initiated their Ultimate Series of vehicles.
Recent Developments and Future Plans
In recent years, McLaren has continued to innovate with models like the Senna and Speedtail hybrid hyper-GT. In 2023, they introduced their lightest series-production supercar yet—the 750S.
The Artura Spider was revealed as their first high-performance hybrid convertible in early 2024. This launch marked a significant update for the Artura nameplate within a year of introducing new models like GTS and Artura alongside the 750S.
Partnerships and Global Presence
McLaren collaborates with leading companies such as Ashurst and Pirelli to push boundaries further. Their global presence extends through partnerships across various fields.
