McLaren Strategy Banks on ‘a New Car a Year’ Posted: 27 Apr 2011 08:19 AM PDT All car news seems good news –  a majority of them indeed are. In case you disagree, listen to this. The latest one comes from the McLaren family, and hints at the company's plans to introduce a new automobile every year to the market. So that could mean a car a year, without fail! A McLaren official has been quoted as saying that between the various models under development, the company will have something new about once a year. Though the official hasn't given us much specifications, we guess he cemented the fact that company would “stick to building two-seat sports cars.” Previous reports and rumors had suggested that future McLaren line up involves a MP4-12C convertible, an entry-level Porsche 911 fighter and an F1 revival. Apart from this we are expecting hybrid and high performance variants too. (via The Detroit Bureau)
