McLaren and BMW Team Up to Make Stronger Engines

BMW and McLaren are about to create a family of stronger engines that will have greener emissions. The strategic project was announced today and the highlight is on the higher output per engine capacity than the current ones offer. 

As they say in both companies, the work is “destined for application in future engines.” 

Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Automotive, said:

This is an exciting project that plays to the strengths of all partners. McLaren Automotive has an exceptional reputation for building the world’s finest engines, as showcased by our M838T and its previous category wins in the International Engine of the Year awards. We will continue to independently design and build our own engines, and the benefits of this project will help us accelerate the development of our next generation of powertrain, as confirmed in our recently-announced Track22 business plan.

The BMW community is now wondering which supercar will use the new engine. First rumors started back in 2016, but BMW denied them.
