This documentary, titled “How To Build A Supercar”, is an incredible look inside the Woking headquarters of McLaren Automotive. I was fortunate enough to meet up with Frank Stephenson (the head of automotive design at McLaren) a couple of weeks ago and, along with my father, enjoy an extraordinary behind the scenes look around the building and at the production line which was just beginning to build McLaren P1s for a couple of rather well-known car collectors.
Almost everything we saw is featured in this documentary, so if you have 60 minutes free be sure to hit the play button. You’ll be glad you did. Then you’ll begin the process of trying to figure out how you can afford to buy a 12C. Or a P1 if you’re ambitious.
Ben has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and many hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
