The production of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren at the McLaren Technology Center in Woking, England, combines the best of two worlds: the advantages of the Mercedes-Benz Production System and the expertise of McLaren when it comes to building super sports cars.
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren embodies the tradition and fascination of the Mercedes-Benz brand. Another aspect, the close association of the super sports car with Formula 1 motor racing, is emphasized by the production location at the McLaren Technology Centre which also houses the Team McLaren Mercedes’ Formula 1 activities. Three of the seven production fingers in the building complex are dedicated to the painting and final assembly of the SLR. The remaining four production fingers are reserved for the Team McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team, McLaren Electronic Systems, McLaren Marketing and McLaren Applied Technologies.
