McLaren, unlike Ferrari or Lamborghini, won't build an SUV
McLaren's design chief is not into the SUV.
Lamborghini now has one, and Ferrari says it will introduce one by
late 2019 or 2020. But don't expect McLaren to taint its supercar DNA by
giving into the temptation to tap into the hot-selling sport utility vehicle segment.
"I'm not the first person to point out an SUV is neither particularly
sporty or utilitarian," McLaren's chief designer, Dan Parry-Williams, told Top Gear.
"It's not 'everything for a reason,' unless the reason is to clutter up
the streets," referring to a McLaren design mantra ("everything for a
reason", a nod to minimalism and purposefulness in the company's cars).
In other words, they're not going to build one since it doesn't fit with
the mission of the company: to build ultra high-performance sportscars.
