For McLaren Automotive's small group of U.S. dealers, it's a time of high profitability and new or freshened facilities, says Nicolas Brown, McLaren's president of the Americas.

A report named Lithia as the unidentified bidder in a failed deal to buy Pendragon, one of the UK's largest auto retailers.

According to Sky News, Lithia Motors was the "large international corporate" that Pendragon cited in an August regulatory filing revealing buyout discussions between the parties had been terminated.

The pivotal model for McLaren's transition to a 100 percent electrified portfolio has been named Artura.

The departure occurs in what has been a tumultuous year for Aston Martin, which has struggled financially since going public in 2018.

With its first redesign, the Rolls-Royce Ghost touts a list of new benefits: It rides on the automaker's aluminum architecture, features all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering and it is styled in the brand's "Post-Opulent" design language.
