It will be the brand’s 41st global territory. McLaren have appointed Infinity Cars as their first official retail partner in India. Infinity Cars shall operate the McLaren retail business under the name “McLaren Mumbai”. The opening of the first retail outlet is slated for October 2022. McLaren’s arrival in India forms a key part of the marque’s global expansion plans and extends the brand’s already well-established and growing presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
McLaren’s range of supercars and hypercars are among the finest with a high level of personalisation, advanced technology, and super-lightweight engineering, combined with cutting-edge design and innovation to deliver breath-taking experiences—both visually and dynamically. They are designed at the iconic McLaren Technology Centre with every supercar hand-built at the adjoining McLaren Production Centre, both in Woking, Surrey, in the south of London.
Set to formally open in Mumbai, the first retail presence in the country will offer the ultimate immersive McLaren brand experience. The supercar maker will offer the breadth of its model range to Indian customers, including the everyday McLaren GT and the marque’s first ever high-performance hybrid supercar, the Artura. The essential range of supercars also includes the universally acclaimed 720S coming in both Coupé and Spider variants and along with the 765LT (Long Tail) Coupé and Spider as the latest addition to the legendary LT product family.
