McLaren has announced that it has built the 20,000th road car at its production centre in Woking. The factory was only completed in 2011, so that number discounts the 106 iconic F1"s that were built between 1992 and 1998. Impressive stuff from the lads and ladies in Surrey. The landmark car in question was a refreshingly understated 600LT Spider in Chicane Grey". Lovely and a car that perfectly highlights how far the leap made from those original MP4-12Cs. To cope with rising demand, McLaren built 4,800 cars in 2018. However, the big news here is that production will remain at around 5,000 per year (20 cars per day) into the next decade, before only being upped slightly to 6,000.
