McLaren unveils ÂŁ150,000 super car

Ron Dennis will oversee production in new ÂŁ40m Woking facility after he quit carmaker's Formula One team last yearRon Dennis, the boss of McLaren, insisted today he had "moved on" from Formula One as he launched the company's new super car.Production of the road car, the MP4-12C, which will cost about ÂŁ150,000, will start next year at a new ÂŁ40m facility at the company's futuristic headquarters in Woking, creating 300 jobs.McLaren Automotive, which is planning more new models, is hoping to eventually sell 4,000 cars worldwide each year. The company has made limited numbers of more expensive super cars in the past, but never this many.Speaking to the Guardian, Dennis admitted he had expected withdrawal symptoms at the Australian grand prix last spring, his first after quitting the sport."I was full of expectation in Australia last year that I would go and get some sort of withdrawal," the 62-year-old said. "But I don't have to watch every minute of a grand prix even when I'm not there. It's part of my life and it's not gone but I've moved on to bigger challenges."Nevertheless, he retains a strong attachment to the sport which he dominated for decades. Looking out from his office, over a lake and towards the field where the new production facility will be constructed, he said a tunnel would be built to connect the two sites, carrying what he calls "umbilical cords" such as IT lines.Dennis, whose fortune the Sunday Times last year estimated at ÂŁ87m, is clearly proud about McLaren's achievements in F1, making it the sport's second most successful team after Ferrari. Asked if he was worried that McLaren's push into larger-scale manufacturing was a risk, given the demise of other iconic British sports car manufacturers such as TVR, he said: "I don't want to be in any way derogatory to the business models of any of the other small car manufacturers. I never saw them in any grand prix or have any success in the motor sport it represents."He also hit back at speculation that he had been forced to pass on the reins of the F1 team after McLaren was fined $100m (ÂŁ65m) by its governing body, run by Max Mosley, over the 2007 "spygate" saga. He insisted he had been planning his move for some time."The story is I'm afraid heavily spun. My plan was always to pass team principal to Martin [Whitmarsh] at the beginning of 2009. Even if you're reluctantly pushed on to a pedestal then there's nothing more certain that the same people pushing you on to the pedestal will take every opportunity to rip you off it," he said.Automotive industryManufacturing sectorMcLarenFerrariFormula OneTim Webbguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
