McLaren to develop 'another road car'

[maxsona]

McLaren and Mercedes-Benz might develop another road car.

The Formula One collaboration recently unveiled the SLR 'supercar' but is now considering a second, less expensive model, according to a report in Auto Week.

"We are looking into the possibility," McLaren CEO Ron Dennis admitted.

A production volume of 15,000 cars is considered realistic, according to the Auto Week media report, compared to a projected 3,500 SLR models to be built.

Dennis has taken heat in 2004 over the decision to divert focus from the presently uncompetitive Formula One team to 'other projects' like the SLR.
