McLaren ART carbon: a world first in lightweight supercar engineering


With more than four decades of experience in exploiting the benefits of carbon fibre as an enabler of light weight, high performance, and structural strength, McLaren has driven key developments in racing and automotive uses for the material, making it not only the standard across the Formula 1 grid, but bringing it to the road, too.

Every single McLaren ever made has been based on a carbon fibre monocoque, while McLaren also maximises the benefits of this this lightweight, strong and durable material in body structures and aerodynamic systems, to unlock maximum performance and thrilling driving dynamics without compromise.

McLaren Automotive has now developed a world-first application of a cutting-edge and highly-specialised manufacturing process in the automotive sector, that will enhance its future models via a major leap forward in carbon fibre technology that augments the best attributes of the material, and more.

Called Automated Rapid Tape (ART), it unlocks the enormous potential to further enhance McLaren road cars with carbon fibre structures that are optimised to be even lighter, stiffer and stronger, produced with even greater consistency from part to part, and produced in a manner that generates less waste fewer waste materials. The resulting McLaren ART carbon fibre forms are also visually distinct from conventional hand-cut pre-impregnated carbon fibre components.
