Ilmor built the Mercedes-Benz engines for [[McLaren (racing)|McLaren]] after Ilmor repositioned its Formula One involvement from independent engine manufacturer to engine builder and assembler to [[Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains|Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines]] (akin to [[Mecachrome]] with [[Renault F1|Renault]] and [[Cosworth]] with [[Ford Performance|Ford]] schemes).

The Ilmor engines went on to be successful with McLaren, scoring several podiums in both [[1995 Formula One season|1995]] and [[1996 Formula One season|1996]], leading to three wins in [[1997 Formula One season|1997]] and back to back drivers championship in [[1998 Formula One season|1998]] and [[1999 Formula One season|1999]], as well as the constructor's championship in 1998. 

In 2001 Paul Morgan was killed while landing one of his vintage airplanes, a [[Hawker Sea Fury]] at [[Sywell Aerodrome]], [[Northamptonshire]]. In 2002 [[DaimlerChrysler]] increased its share to 55% and renamed the company Mercedes-Ilmor. In 2005 DaimlerChrysler became the sole owner of Ilmor and renamed the company [[Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines|Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines Ltd]].
