McLaren to launch first SUV under Abu Dhabi owner's £500m UK investment

McLaren will build its first SUV, targeting wealthy F1 fans, as part of a £500m investment by its Abu Dhabi owner that will create 1,000 jobs and a new factory. This marks a strategic pivot for the supercar maker, leveraging its F1 brand to expand into a higher-volume segment. The move signals confidence in UK manufacturing and luxury auto demand, though execution risks remain.
