Indian Grandmas Tell Grandson to Buy a McLaren - He Buys A Limited Edition 765 LT!
Sometime last year, a video shared on social media went viral. It showed two Indian grandmas getting taxi rides in a Lamborghini Huracan and Urus. Their grandson Anand took the ladies to UAE to give them the experience. It was indeed satisfying to watch. Months later, Anand shared another video which shows one of the grandmas asking him to buy a new supercar- a brand-new McLaren.
Making things sweeter, the grandchild actually bought one! A video of this amassed massive viewership when shared online. Anand has bought a McLaren 765 LT and became the youngest Indian to do so.
The video opens by showing a moment from the previous Lamborghini video. It shows the two women standing near the Urus and the Huracan. Then we see the guy showing his grandmother a video. In it, another grandma was explaining why she would choose a Porsche over Lamborghini. He then asks his grandma her thoughts about the car. She says that Porsche is indeed a great car, but it has become a common buy these days.
Anand then shows the video to the other grandma, who agrees to the fact that Porsche makes great cars. She further asks him if it has doors that open upward (scissor or butterfly doors). He says that Porsches do not have them. The grandma then shocks us by saying ‘Haan.. so you buy a McLaren instead, son’.
Anand found it difficult to believe his ears and asked her again which car she was talking about. She confidently says ‘McLaren’ again. The next thing we see is the family taking delivery of a brand-new McLaren 765LT in Orange. The LT stands extra-special as the production is capped at 765 units globally.
This purchase was made from a dealer in Dubai. Anand seems to have his business based in Dubai, and hence got many of his supercars registered there. A dealer staff congratulates him on video ‘for being the youngest McLaren 765 LT owner’. He further says that this is the first McLaren in Kerala.
This owner might actually consider bringing the vehicle to his hometown in the South Indian state, via Carnet. It has become a common practice among people who own expensive cars abroad to do so. The video closes by showing the McLaren parked alongside his other cars- the Urus, Huracan, and a Lexus SUV.
Now, the people in this video probably acted according to a script. But they did quite well and the end result was satisfying to watch. This McLaren owner's handle has more such interesting videos.
McLaren entered the Indian market in 2022. At present, it sells the Artura, 720S, 750S, and GT here. The only 765LT in India registered in India (as of 2024) belongs to Hyderabad, and is owned by the businessman Naseer Khan.
The second is owned by the Bengaluru-based entrepreneur Ranjit Sundermurthy (RSM Garage), who uses it in Dubai. He had brought it to Bengaluru, creating waves of excitement among enthusiasts. The third McLaren 765 LT owned by an Indian is what you see in the video above!
Talking of the specifications, the 765 LT is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine. It produces 765 PS and 800 Nm of torque and comes mated to a 7-speed sequential gearbox. This is a rear wheel drive (RWD) supercar and can reach 100 kph speed from a complete standstill in just 2.8 seconds.
The design here has a strong focus on aerodynamics. The bodywork makes generous use of carbon fiber (CF) and the car gets an aggressive front bumper, splitter, side skirts, and a wraparound bumper at the rear. It comes both in the convertible and coupe forms. The former can get its roof down in just 11 seconds.
