The company was eventually bought by Ron Dennis in 1985 and renamed McLaren Cars. McLaren Automotive replaced McLaren Cars in 2010 and now the company is 100% owned by McLaren Technology Group. 
Today, McLaren continues to develop their automotive technology designing elite sports cars for both the race track and the public. They design their Sports Series cars to be light, giving their cars better agility and performance.
