McLaren and Mercedes Benz will part ways as far as road cars are concerned at the end of the McLaren Mercedes SLR lifecycle. It is understood that Mercedes would be partnering with AMG for its next supercar. However, I suspect that this might not be the actual reason for the split.
Although initially unclear, now Ron Dennis may have let the cat out of the bag. Albeit subtly, he hinted that McLaren may soon enter the automobile sector as a proper manufacturer!
“Grand Prix team(s) to diversify…we do intend to try and match the success of Ferrari”, Ron was caught saying. This could well be the start of a new era or McLaren.
The SLR is a work of art. If McLaren chooses to further diversify its roadcar range, I’m certain that we’ll be seeing many more works of art in the not too distant future. Watch this space.
