The 2007 lineup shows McLaren juggling racing development and road-car craft, a year where lessons from the track influenced production models and special projects. Enthusiasts and buyers still look to 2007 for both performance pedigree and engineering variety.
There are 5 2007 McLaren Car Models, ranging from the MP4-22 to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster. For each entry, data is organized by Year (yr), Type, Power (hp) / Engine, and you’ll find below.
What is the main difference between the MP4-22 and the Mercedes‑Benz SLR McLaren Roadster?
The MP4-22 is a 2007 Formula 1 race car focused on lap performance, aerodynamics, and single-seat competition, while the SLR McLaren Roadster is a road-going grand tourer co-developed with Mercedes-Benz that prioritizes usability, comfort, and a powerful production engine—they represent opposite ends of McLaren’s 2007 activity.
Are 2007 McLaren models practical to buy and maintain today?
They can be rewarding but expect specialist maintenance, higher running costs, and the need for thorough pre-purchase inspections; parts and servicing are available through specialist shops and marque dealers, and well-documented, maintained examples usually hold value better.
