McLaren finally passed a big milestone, building their 10,000th car. The Woking-based manufacturer announced that the 10,000th car is a 570S finished in ceramic grey rolled off the production line 5 years after the first car, an MP4-12C. McLaren Automotive Chief Executive Officer, Mike Flewitt, said: “The production of the 10,000th McLaren is a significant milestone in the short history of the company. The fact that it took us 42 months to build our 5,000th car and just 22 months to build the next 5,000 speaks volumes about the pace of development of the company.”
