A McLaren SUV is said to be officially under consideration, despite the company’s former CEO Mike Flewitt having insisted the brand should, and would, never do so. His successor, Michael Leiters, is open to the idea, though initial designs are expected to “take a while.” Jamie Corstorphine, McLaren’s director of product strategy, emphasized that the “most important thing is to provide a [vehicle] that has more space or ability for a McLaren customer to share the experience with more people,” adding that “nothing is set at this point” and that ‘the test’ for his team would be whether it can “accurately reflect the DNA of McLaren.”

Looking For a Snowproof Mountain-Ready Pack? Meet the Fjäll Backpack
DbFor years, many have called DB “the best brand for snow.” Taking that legacy one step further is the all-new Fjäll Backpack. Designed for everything from light powder to a squall, it’s technical enough to handle a full day on the mountain but reads clean and modern enough to make it to the office. It’s built for serious skiers and guides and features a dual-access main compartment, roll-top lid and “quick-access avalanche pocket.” DB tapped award-winning pro freeskier Sam Favret to consult – as a result, the bag boasts everything we know true enthusiasts need. The Fjäll features ‘expandable literage’ (translation: you can fit a full helmet inside the pack), “auto-cinching ice-axe carry,” an external avalanche compartment and what DB calls “Backcess,” a large, padded back opening where you can easily store gear without having to remove your board or skis.
