McLaren has been around for more than half a century but when it comes to volume car production we only need look back to 2010, when the British firm's road car business was rebooted under the McLaren Automotive name.
In that short time the firm has launched a handful of products and grown to become a proper rival to more established exotic marques such as Aston Martin, Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] and Lamborghini.
McLaren is unique in that it groups its models into a three-tier hierarchy starting with the Sports Series at the bottom, the Super Series in the middle and the Ultimate Series at the top. At present, McLaren is only selling cars fitting into the two lower series as the sole Ultimate Series member we've seen, the P1, was a limited edition model built for one year only.
