Ilmor is a British independent high-performance motor racing engineering company founded by Mario Illien and Paul Morgan in November 1983. With manufacturing based in Brixworth, Northamptonshire, and maintenance offices in Plymouth, Michigan, it supplies engines and consultancy to the IndyCar Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series and MotoGP. Ilmor originally designed, built and produced IndyCar engines for Chevrolet, and in the 1990s it built a partnership with Mercedes-Benz to power F1 cars for Sauber and McLaren. After Paul Morgan died in a vintage aeroplane crash in 2001, Mercedes increased its stake until it owned the entire company, and in 2005 Mario Illien bought the Special Projects part of the company in partnership with Roger Penske.
