Putnam Leasing Powers McLaren’s U.S. Comeback

When McLaren returned to the U.S. market with the MP4-12C, most finance companies saw the brand as a risky newcomer despite its racing legacy. To overcome this, McLaren partnered with Putnam Leasing, a specialist in exotic and low-volume car financing.

Putnam’s lease-to-own program offered McLaren buyers lower monthly payments and greater financial flexibility. The collaboration played a key role in McLaren's early U.S. growth strategy, setting the stage for its long-term presence in North America.
