Luxury supercar maker McLaren Automotive has won the Game Changer award at the Walpole’s British Luxury Awards ceremony, held at The Dorchester hotel in London.
The accolade recognises McLaren’s ongoing commitment to innovation in technology, which has been at the forefront of the all-new McLaren Artura, the company’s first series high-performance hybrid supercar.
The annual Walpole British Luxury Awards celebrate design, innovation and craftmanship at the heart of Britain’s luxury sector. The trophy was presented by Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath.
McLaren launched the world’s first ever hybrid hypercar, the McLaren P1, over nine years ago. The all-new Artura brings the introduction of electrification to series production, made possible by the ground-breaking processes and technology developed at the McLaren Composites Technology Centre.
Reductions in vehicle mass have enabled more energy efficient driving, without sacrificing the driving experience.
The company says these advances will guide McLaren’s path towards a fully electrified future later this decade, and inform the work it’s doing as part of a UK Government initiative to make other forms of transport more energy efficient.
