McLaren today reveals an evolved brand identity that brings together the marque’s past, present and future in one connected expression across McLaren Automotive and McLaren Racing.

The new brand identity is rooted in the vision and restless ambition of founder Bruce McLaren, while reflecting the broader world McLaren is building for its clients, colleagues, fans and global community.

For more than 60 years, McLaren has been defined by the belief that there is always a way to go further. From racing breakthroughs to road car innovation that started with the McLaren F1, that founding philosophy has shaped every era of the brand. The evolved identity carries that same spirit forward, creating a clearer and more unified expression of McLaren as it continues to grow its community, experiences and level of personalisation.
