Linamar’s McLaren Engineering Division announces new alliance with Honda Marine for Outboard Engines
Dec 17, 2024
McLaren Engineering, the R&D division of Linamar Corporation, is announcing a new alliance with Honda Marine, a division of Honda Power Sports & Products (a business unit of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.). The dynamic engineering collaboration between two formidable technology partners is rooted in a heritage of technical engineering excellence.
Through an Official Licensed Product (OLP) agreement, Honda Marine and McLaren Engineering will collaborate on the production of the all-new McLaren Performance M300, a performance-inspired marine outboard that delivers enhanced top-end power, premium quality, outstanding reliability and durability.
McLaren Engineering’s parent, Linamar Corporation, has been a supplier to American Honda Motor Co., Inc. for 10 years, demonstrating its expertise in high-precision, high-quality engine component manufacturing; the alliance with Honda Marine is designed to help Linamar enhance value for its customers and meet future market needs.
The unparalleled reliability of Honda Marine outboards makes Honda the preferred partner to collaborate with on product offerings and solutions that benefit customers on critical fuel economy, emissions, cost and quality needs.
The new agreement allows McLaren Engineering to sell the McLaren Performance M300 models (Honda OLPs) to selected Honda-affiliated OEMs, providing boat builders with greater flexibility in serving recreational marine customers in the 24 ft.+ boat segment. The new McLaren Performance M300 engines also will enhance options in the high-power segment of the Honda Marine lineup.
Additional details regarding the Honda Marine and McLaren Engineering alliance, designed to produce integrated solutions that maximize the pleasure of the boating experience, will be announced in early 2025.
