McLaren Automotive is the British manufacturer of hand-built luxury, sports, and supercars. McLaren Automotive launched its first car, the 12C, in 2011. The Sports Series family, which includes the 570S, was launched in mid-2015 as the most accessible range of McLaren cars, and by the end of 2016, the company had sold over 10,000 supercars. In 2016, it sold nearly 3,300 cars, with the McLaren 570S being the most popular choice of its discerning customers.

“McLaren Automotive is pleased to appoint Step2 to our growing Official Licensee programme,” said Hayley Robinson, Licensing Manager at McLaren Automotive. “Step2 is highly regarded in the toy industry, and we are confident they will be a great addition to our licensed toy category. By appointing rights for the McLaren 570S Sports car, this offers a great attainable product for young fans to buy into the McLaren brand at a very early age.”
