McLaren has recently announced they have built the 5,000th Super Series model. Launched initially with the 12C in 2011, followed by the 12C Spider and then the 650S and Asia-only 625C, the Super Series is the highest volume carbon fiber supercar range ever.
This milestone comes shortly after McLaren announced a third consecutive growth in sales, with more than 1,400 Super Series models being delivered during 2014.
The 5,000th car, a Volcano Yellow 650S Coupe commissioned for a customer in Australia rolled from the assembly line in the McLaren Production Centre on February 2. It was joined at the end of the production line by the first production 12C, which has now become part of the McLaren Heritage Collection.
In a statement, McLaren Automotive CEO Mike Flewitt said "McLaren has come a long way in four short years. The completion of the 5,000th vehicle in the Super Series is a fantastic milestone for the brand. The 12C was, and still is, a groundbreaking supercar and, true to the values of McLaren, we have continued to develop and build on this great product into the 650S which has delighted our customers and won countless awards across the world."
