McLaren road car marks expansion

The first McLaren road car
BBC NEWS | Business | Formula One racing group McLaren has unveiled a new road car that marks the creation of a new UK-based carmaker.

It plans to build the cars in a factory that it will build next to the group's headquarters in Woking.

Plans to rival the likes of Ferrari and Aston Martin are part of a strategy to grow the business outside racing, where cost cutting pressure is fierce.

The move could help cushion McLaren's racing staff from job losses if F1 budgets are cut.
