Mclaren 750S: McLaren 750S launched in India at Rs 5.91 crore: What makes it so expensive

British automaker McLaren has launched the 750S supercar in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 5.91 crore. The model, which the manufacturer says is the lightest and most powerful series-production car in its lineup, will be sold in both coupe and convertible variants. Only 20 units have been allocated for India as of now.
The 750S is essentially a replacement for the 720S.This model majorly remains the same in terms of design except for a few tweaks here and there and gets some feature, mechanics, and performance upgrades over the 720S. In terms of design, the supercar gets subtle updates, including a redesigned front bumper featuring a larger splitter, louvres on the fenders, a revamped rear section with an active spoiler, and a new exhaust system. With a dry weight of 1,277 kg, the 750S weighs 30 kg less than the 720S.

Under the hood, with a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 750 hp and 800 Nm of torque, the 750S achieves 100 kmph from a standstill in just 2.8 seconds and 0-200 kmph in 7.2 seconds.
Further, the 750S features an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment screen at the centre, enabling wireless connectivity for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The instrument display has been redesigned to move with the steering column, ensuring optimized visibility for all drivers. Additional features include a wireless charger, a 360-degree camera, and a Bowers and Wilkins audio system.
Notable features include improved front-end grip due to a 6mm wider front track and new suspension geometry. McLaren’s electro-hydraulic steering, renowned for precision and feedback clarity, boasts a faster steering ratio.
What makes the 750S so expensive?
In India, vehicles are imported as either CBU (Completely built-up unit) or CKD (Completely knocked-down unit). Since the 750S will be brought in through the CBU route, its price actually gets nearly double of what its actual value is in the United Kingdom. This happens because heavy import taxes are imposed on such units in India.
