Indian billionaire Gautam Singhania, Chairman and Managing Director of Raymond Group, is a big-time car enthusiast with an enviable collection of cars in his garage. He not only owns high-end cars but also participates in professional races and competitions. We have seen him drive several exotic and rare cars on the roads of Mumbai. This time around, we have a video where Gautam Singhania’s new McLaren 750S supercar was spotted on the road. This is actually the third McLaren in his garage.
The video has been shared by CS12 Vlogs on his YouTube channel. In this video, we see the businessman driving the supercar on a busy road in Mumbai. He is not alone; he has a Toyota Fortuner and a Mahindra Scorpio with security personnel in them. We can clearly see Mr. Singhania behind the steering wheel of the McLaren 750S. Gautam Singhania’s 750S is finished in a dual-tone shade of Orange and Black. It looks like the interior of this car is mostly finished in black.
While we had McLaren supercars in India, the brand never officially sold their models in the country until last year. Last year, they opened a physical dealership in Mumbai and also started offering all their models to customers here. The 750S was launched in the market earlier this year. The exterior design of the new McLaren 750S is actually an evolution of the popular 720S.
The differences between both these models are subtle. For example, the 750S gets a new front bumper which incorporates a larger splitter, larger intakes to improve cooling, and slimmer-looking LED headlamps.
The supercar also comes with a larger active rear wing which is 20 percent larger in terms of surface area than the 720S. The rear wing increases downforce and improves stopping performance.
The car features butterfly doors, a fully digital instrument cluster, an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a multi-function steering wheel, and so on. Coming to the heart, it is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo flat-plane V8 engine that generates a maximum of 750 PS and 800 Nm of peak torque. The 750S is lighter than the 720S, which has improved its overall performance.
McLaren claims that the 750S is 10 percent faster than the 720S. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 2.8 seconds, and the car can reach the 200 kmph mark in just 4.4 seconds. This supercar is worth Rs 5.91 crore, ex-showroom.
Not the Only McLaren
Gautam Singhania is a car enthusiast, and this is not the only McLaren he owns in his garage. He also owns a 720S, which was the first 720S to be brought to India. The car is registered in Dubai and was brought to India temporarily via Carnet. He also owns a McLaren 570S, which is also registered in Dubai. We have seen him drive these cars on several occasions.
The 720S is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo petrol engine that produces 710 Bhp and 770 Nm of torque. It can accelerate from standstill to 100 kmph in just 2.8 seconds, with a top speed well in excess of 300 kmph.
The 570S is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that produces a maximum power of 567 Bhp and 600 Nm of peak torque. This car can reach the 100 kmph mark from standstill in just 3.2 seconds.
