Maison 66 of 100 · Automotive
McLaren
The reading
A Formula 1 constructor that makes road cars out of the same carbon language. Artura is the hybrid daily; the Ultimate Series is the reason collectors answer the phone. Engineering culture that does not do heritage tours.

Its place in the register, counted
The register files nine maisons to the United Kingdom, the same number it files to the United States, and this is one of them. Within the register it is the 8th of the fifteen houses filed under Automotive. Sorted oldest first, the hundred put it 71st. Independent: one of the thirteen houses this register files as independent, beside Hermès, Burberry, The Row, Brunello Cucinelli, Graff, and seven more. Fifteen of the hundred places go to Automotive, the third-largest room in the register. The Automotive room spans 1904 to 2015 and medians at 1947, and McLaren follows it by sixteen years.
