McLaren to release three new models; brings dealerships to the Middle East

As part of McLaren’s push towards releasing their cars for mainstream fans, the company is set to establish a network of operations all over the Middle East, which is easily the most wealthy and affluent region in the world these days.

It doesn’t come as a shock for McLaren to choose this particular area in showcasing their new vehicles. The plummeting stock of luxury cars in North America and Europe has made them out of the question. In contrast, the Middle East is one of the few places on Earth that is currently thriving despite the global economic crisis, thanks in large part to the immeasurable amount of oil this region controls. But more than the booming state of these countries, McLaren choice this region because well, they’re pretty popular there, especially to the oil sheiks and royal families of these countries.

While there hasn’t been any formal announcement as to which countries will be given dealerships, it’s widely expected that countries like Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE would have their very own dealership before 2011, which, coincidentally, is also the year when the highly-anticipated McLaren P11 will be out on the streets for the first time.

For a lot of McLaren fans like us, 2011 can’t come fast enough.
