Arrow McLaren Extends Chevrolet Engine Partnership Through 2028

The deal secures technical continuity, enabling joint development of IndyCar’s Dallara IR28 chassis with its new 2.4‑liter twin‑turbo V6.

Overview

  • Arrow McLaren announced a multiyear engine extension with Chevrolet that keeps the team powered by Chevy through the 2028 chassis and engine changeover.
  • The agreement commits Arrow McLaren and General Motors to closer engineering work and shared testing focused on the IR28 chassis and the new 2.4‑liter twin‑turbo V6 power unit.
  • Arrow McLaren confirmed its 2027 driver line‑up of Pato O’Ward, Scott Dixon and Felix Rosenqvist as the team prepares for the technical transition.
  • The extension builds on a strong Chevy-era record for the team: 14 wins, 54 podiums and 13 poles since McLaren’s full-time IndyCar entry in 2020, and leading Chevrolet results across the 2026 season.
  • Manufacturers are finalizing technical regulations and beginning testing for the IR28, and the Arrow McLaren–Chevrolet tie gives both parties stability and early influence over the new car’s performance.
