DETROIT—British exotic sports car maker McLaren Automotive will bank on expanded sales in Asia and a new generation of hybrid cars as it steers toward a potential public offering, the company’s chief executive said on Dec. 2.
“We need to put more cars into Asia,” McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt said in a meeting with reporters in Detroit. Sales of McLaren’s carbon fiber and aluminum sports cars, which start at about $200,000 in the United States, have fallen in the United Kingdom, its largest market. Flewitt said that reflects uncertainty over Brexit.
