McLaren’s tune on offering an SUV has changed over the years. The automaker’s new CEO admitted last August that he loved them and that they are “a really important market.” It wouldn’t be the first time a company like McLaren ventured into building highly profitable SUVs, but the company has iterated on several occasions that any such model would have to reflect and embody the company’s thrilling DNA.
A pair of new renderings attempt to do just that, transferring the brand’s corporate styling onto a larger, high-riding body. The McLaren SUV wears it well, with the headlights set deep in the fascia, tucked above the gaping vertical intakes. The lower bumper features additional intakes squeezed to the outsides and a small lip spoiler.
