To some, McLaren may not have the legacy that Ferrari has behind it, but the British sports car manufacturer has rapidly [grown](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/11986/mclaren-doubled-its-sales-in-2016>) into a key player in the exotic car world. The recent formation of the [McLaren Group](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/12069/mclaren-combines-technology-automotive-branches-to-become-mclaren-group>) showcased how committed the company is to growth. Despite being only six years old, McLaren Automotive already has an impressive lineup of production cars and keeps adding [more](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/9893/2018-mclaren-720s-a-212-mph-roman-holiday>) to the fleet. So is it too soon to celebrate McLaren's heritage, or is this a toast to the company's future in the industry?

McLaren Automotive [announced](<https://www.cars.mclaren.press/en-gb/releases/476>) Thursday that it is opening an exhibit at the Louwman Museum in The Hague, Netherlands. This celebration of the company's heritage will be on display until August 27th and is a must-visit for car enthusiasts exploring Europe. McLaren has donated 16 cars to the museum, including a [P1 GTR](<https://www.thedrive.com/supercars/2001/inside-mclarens-p1-gtr-factory-garage>), 675LT, and MP4-12C 50th Anniversary Edition. The exhibit also has a slew of McLaren Formula 1 cars on display, which date back to McLaren's formation in the 1970s. All of these F1 cars have a racing history and have been driven by great names such as [Lewis Hamilton](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/4356/lewis-hamilton-will-be-the-greatest-f1-driver-of-all-time>) and Ayrton Senna.

The exhibition also showcases the initial success of McLaren's ambitious "[Track22](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/6539/10-000-maniacs-mclaren-reaches-a-milestone-in-supercar-sales>)" plan, which is a program to add 15 more models to the McLaren lineup by 2022. This plan starts with the [720S](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/9199/first-mclaren-720s-rolls-off-production-line>), which has already had plenty of preorders. We're excited to see what insane machine McLaren can come up with next.
