The Newport Beach dealership was one of the original ten founding retailers that started selling the McLaren MP4 12C when the supercar manufacturer first entered the Americas market back in 2011. Since then, the award-winning business has gone on to retail nearly 750 new McLarens making it one of the most successful dealerships for the McLaren brand globally.

It is also one of a handful of dealers in the McLaren Motorsport Retailer Network, which allows customers the opportunity to participate in the brand’s 60-years of racing heritage, offering both technical support and guidance on how to get involved in motorsports on all levels. – Source: McLaren
