A total of four dealers in Germany were selected by McLaren to offer the best in customer sales and service for a range of McLaren cars, beginning with the ground-breaking new MP4-12C high-performance sports car. Every showroom will exhibit a piece of history to highlight McLaren�s rich heritage with each McLaren showroom displaying a real McLaren race car, driven by some of the finest racing drivers in the world.



Customers in D�sseldorf can look forward to MP4/5 which took Alain Prost to a world championship title in 1989, while Hamburg�s car enthusiasts will be impressed with MP4/6, the car in which Ayrton Senna won his third, and last championship title, in 1991.
