\nThe UK, with its rich history in high-performance automotive manufacturing and elite motorsport, faces a golden opportunity to lead the electrification of supercar production if it can attract investment into the domestic supply-chain, says McLaren Automotive CEO, Michael Leiters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Leiters says the existing UK supply-chain is currently not equipped to meet the unique performance requirements of electric supercars and calls on any future UK Government to provide a strategic roadmap for investment in future powertrain technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA clear industrial strategy, led by investment in the domestic supply-chain, will deliver growth, support jobs, help decarbonize the economy and secure a vibrant future for the UK performance car industry,\u201d says Mr. Leiters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time we regained confidence in our sector by investing in a world-class domestic supply-chain to support the development of tomorrow\u2019s high-performance vehicles,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe UK was once the world\u2019s largest vehicle exporter. Today it remains home to some of the world\u2019s most admired performance car brands, as well as most Formula 1 racing teams,\u201d says Mr. Leiters.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe must harness the skills, knowledge and ingenuity of the UK motorsport and performance car industry to create a global, high-performance center of excellence,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUK-based luxury and sports car brands command tremendous pricing power thanks to their rich histories, intrinsic brand value and class-leading performance attributes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, the productivity gross value added of McLaren employees is 51% higher than that of the UK automotive manufacturing sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith more than 90% of McLaren supercars being exported, the UK performance car industry provides an excellent return on investment for taxpayers,\u201d says Mr. Leiters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Leiters says government support is also essential to \u201cde-risk\u201d the transition to electrification.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe costs of this technological shift are astronomical, especially for low-volume, highly specialized suppliers,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday, customer demand for electric supercars remains extremely low as the technology is not sufficiently mature to rival the performance of today\u2019s hybrid and combustion engine offerings, which makes it a risky investment both for OEMs and their suppliers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut we have an opportunity to invest in next-generation, high power-dense battery cell manufacturing and ensure the UK is at the forefront of future performance car powertrain technology,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven hybrid vehicles, which we expect will account for most supercars sold throughout this decade, require the need to locally-source high-performance battery technology due to the EU \u2018rules of origin\u2019 requirements on exported vehicles,\u201d says Mr. Leiters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Leiters says the challenge of meeting rules of origin requirements would only increase with the shift to pure electric vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday, our hybrid McLaren Artura powertrain has 64% UK content. If this car was a pure EV, the UK content of the powertrain would reduce to 13% because we cannot currently source the relevant componentry in the UK.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Leiters says that historically it has been the luxury and high-performance market that has led the industry in technological change.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLook at the McLaren P1 \u2013 a technological trailblazer which proved the capability of high-performance hybrid technology long before electrification was in the mainstream.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping a pure EV McLaren supercar, which can rival \u2013 if not exceed \u2013 the performance and driver-engagement of today\u2019s supercars, could help drive the transition towards pure electrification among mass-market customers,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Leiters says that attracting the right battery suppliers to the UK would also bring long-term benefits outside the performance car industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the future, a thriving UK supply-chain specializing in cutting-edge, high energy density cells would not only support supercar production but also other advanced manufacturing needs such as vertical take-off aircraft and drones,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n
