Significant Manufacturing Business From GM

Represents the Largest, Single Order in the Company's History

LIVONIA, Mich., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McLaren Performance

The program calls for McLaren Performance to machine and sub-assemble special,
high-performance cylinder heads and engine blocks for 2005 through 2008
production, and represents some $16 million in incremental sales over the
course of the project. However, the program has the potential to run through
2010 and also increase in annual volume. The prototyping process has already
begun, and the first run of cylinder heads is now on-line at the McLaren
Performance machining center in Oldcastle, Ontario, Canada. Due to
confidentiality concerns, the vehicle application remains undisclosed.
"As we continue to rev up as a single-source, powertrain solutions provider,
this award demonstrates that between our Livonia, Michigan development center
and our manufacturing base in Canada, McLaren Performance Technologies is well
positioned to accelerate ahead," according to Steven Rossi, president and CEO.
McLaren Performance Technologies provides full service design, development,
fabrication, manufacturing, testing, validation and certification of automotive
and racing powertrains, and related components. The company was originally
established in 1969 as the engine development company for Bruce McLaren Motor
Racing.
