Although McLaren, as a brand needs to introduction. But for the unfamiliar, McLaren is one of the most iconic supercar makers positioned alongside the Super, Sports and the Ultimate Series performance car classes. The entire product portfolio of McLaren is based on the carbon fibre structure. It is expected to make the official India entry with four models – the GT, Artura, 720S, and the 720S Spider.
The entry point into McLaren's India line-up will be the GT. It is more of a road-focused supercar that targets a clientele preferring a softer, more comfortable, and mid-engined supercar. At the heart of the GT sits a 4-litre, twin-turbo engine that is responsible for delivering 620hp of power and 630Nm of torque. The McLaren 720S and 720S Spider will also be part of the lineup. These cars will be kitted with the same 4-litre twin-turbo engine delivering 720hp of power and 770Nm of torque. Apart from that, McLaren Artura will also set foot on Indian soil. It will be based on the new MCLA carbon fibre monocoque platform. The Artura is a hybrid supercar that sources power from a 3-litre, twin-turbo, V6 engine working injunction with a hybrid powertrain with a total output of 680hp.
McLaren is also reaching out to prospective customers in the country, reports suggest.
