Tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia gifted his son, Rajiv Ruparelia, a brand-new 2022 McLaren 765LT Spider worth a staggering Shs1.7 billion as a special Diwali present.
The luxurious supercar, a marvel of engineering and speed, is a celebration of Rajiv’s passion for high-performance vehicles and a nod to the festive spirit of Diwali.
The McLaren 765LT Spider is a masterpiece of automotive innovation, boasting a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine. With an astonishing 765 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, the car achieves lightning-fast acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in a mere 7.2 seconds.
Its top speed of 330 km/h cements its reputation as one of the fastest and most powerful supercars on the market.
The Spider variant features a retractable hardtop roof, which can be lowered in just 11 seconds, allowing Rajiv to enjoy the exhilaration of open-air driving.
The car’s lightweight carbon-fibre structure enhances speed and agility, while its aerodynamic design ensures unparalleled handling and stability at high speeds.
Inside, the McLaren 765LT Spider offers a driver-focused cockpit with state-of-the-art features. Its minimalist design emphasizes performance, with lightweight racing seats, a carbon-fibre interior trim, and a track-ready steering wheel.
A high-resolution touchscreen infotainment system provides seamless access to navigation, audio, and vehicle controls, while the premium audio system enhances the driving experience.
An overjoyed Rajiv shared a video of the grand unveiling on social media, captioning it, “Living my childhood dream.” He later posted photos of a joyride with his parents, Sudhir and Jyotsna Ruparelia, enjoying the McLaren on the streets of London, where Rajiv resides and manages the Ruparelia Group’s family businesses across Europe.
The gift was given in honour of Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights that celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
It is observed worldwide with vibrant celebrations lasting up to five days, marked by feasts, decorations, and gifts.
Sudhir’s extravagant gesture highlights the strong bond within the Ruparelia family and underscores the cultural significance of Diwali as a time for sharing joy and blessings.
For Rajiv, the McLaren 765LT Spider is more than a car—it’s the realisation of a childhood dream and a symbol of his father’s enduring support and affection.
