Super sports car segment in India to register 30% growth this year: McLaren Automotive

McLaren which entered the Indian market in November 2022, unveiled its super sports car the 750S, priced at Rs 5.91 crore.

British luxury carmaker McLaren Automotive on Friday said it is expecting the super sports car segment in India to register 30 percent growth this year. McLaren is also looking to deliver about 20-odd cars to customers in India after witnessing a blip last year owing to supply chain issues.

Earlier the company, which entered the Indian market in November 2022, unveiled its super sports car the 750S, priced at Rs 5.91 crore. Built at the McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) in Yorkshire, UK and imported as a completely built unit, 750S is the lightest and most powerful series-production from the company, achieving 0-200kms/hour in 7.2 seconds (Spider 7.3 seconds), as per the company.

"This segment (the cars, which are priced upwards of Rs 4-5 crore) has also seen a healthy growth last year. I think post-Covid, 2021 was kind of a startup year (from the volume's perspective) and then 2022 was a good year. "While the year 2023 was better and we're thinking 2024 will be still better," Infinity Cars Chairman and Managing Director Lalit Choudary said.
