Udaipur, Rajasthan – McLaren Automotive, the British luxury supercar maker, marked a significant milestone in India, celebrating 50 McLaren supercars sold within just two years of launching in the market. This achievement was honored with an exclusive Celebration Drive, where 15 proud McLaren owners drove through the stunning landscapes of Rajasthan, combining the grandeur of Indian heritage with the thrill of high-performance automotive excellence.
The event kicked off at the historic Manak Chowk in Udaipur, where Prince Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, a member of Rajasthan’s royal family, flagged off the convoy of McLarens. The route stretched from Udaipur to the serene hill station of Mount Abu and back, offering a unique juxtaposition of Rajasthan’s timeless heritage and McLaren’s cutting-edge innovation.
A Supercar Market on the Rise
India’s burgeoning luxury automobile market has been a catalyst for McLaren’s rapid growth. With rising affluence and a growing appetite for bespoke luxury, the Indian market has embraced McLaren’s high-performance models, including the iconic 720S, its successor 750S, and the limited-edition 765LT. These cars have not only set benchmarks for innovation and performance but have also carved a niche among Indian supercar enthusiasts.
“Reaching this milestone in India in such a short span underscores the passion and enthusiasm of our customers for McLaren. We are committed to further enhancing the supercar ownership experience in India and look forward to an even stronger year in 2025,” said Lalit Choudary, Dealer Principal of McLaren Mumbai.
A New Era of Automotive Excellence
McLaren’s strategy in India has mirrored its global approach—introducing cutting-edge technology and innovation. The recent launches of the hybrid Artura and the 750S, shortly after their global debuts, highlight the brand’s focus on keeping Indian customers at the forefront of automotive advancements.
“India is a critical market for McLaren, and the response so far has been overwhelming. This Celebration Drive allowed us to connect with our community and demonstrate the world-class performance that McLaren stands for,” remarked Robert Holtshausen, Market Director – Middle East, India & Africa, McLaren Automotive.
A Celebration Beyond Cars
The Celebration Drive wasn’t just about showcasing McLaren’s engineering prowess; it was an experiential journey. The convoy passed through picturesque terrains, with participants enjoying the blend of natural beauty, royal heritage, and automotive precision. McLaren Mumbai, which has been instrumental in cultivating the brand’s presence, continues to serve as a hub for India’s supercar enthusiasts, offering unparalleled customer experiences and personalized services.
