McLaren Group said its 200-mile- per-hour MP4 supercar will be pitched to owners of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other luxury marques seeking to add an even faster model to their fleet.

McLaren aims to capture about 4 percent of the premium two- seater car market, equal to about 4,000 sales a year, with the 600 horsepower MP4-12C that begins production next year.
