McLaren Launches The Gorgeous 750S Twins In India

McLaren 750S debuts in India starting at INR 5.91CR
The McLaren 750S Spider starts at INR 6.58CR

McLaren Mumbai, India, launches their lightest and one of the most powerful series-production McLaren to date, McLaren 750S, in both the Coupe and Spider avatars. Weighing in at a mere 1389kgs, the 750S twins sport an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 587PS-per-tonne. Inspired by the 765LT and 720S, the 750S offers technical advances in weight saving with the carbon fibre and light but strong alloy structure used on the sassy curves, minimalist on the inside and mercilessly gorgeous on the outside. Packed with the latest technology inside out, the diver’s cockpit features an 8-inch infotainment system with CarPlay and Alcantara interiors. Ground clearance is typical supercar but with one vehicle lift button, the McLaren 750S twins can lift in 4 secs when roads get tough.

Sporting a 30kg lighter body than the 720S, the 750S gets a 20% larger adaptive active rear wing like the 765LT, yet is 1.6kg lighter than the 720S wing, thanks to material science. Engineered at McLaren Composite Technology Center in Yorkshire, UK, the new active rear wing adds aerodynamic enhancements with three prominent operational positions to improve downforce, reduce drag and improve performance on high-speed braking. Aiding the performance from the V8 powertrain is McLaren Control Launcher (MCL) technology, debuting on the 750S alongwith McLaren’s electro-hydraulic steering system, one of the most precise directional controls among performance cars.

At the heart of the matter is a 4L twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 750PS power, aptly adding to the car’s identity and a max torque output of 800Nm. Paired with a snappy 7-speed transmission, the 750S also debuts a revised kick-down control strategy for gearing. Further improving the dynamics of this car is McLaren’s Proactive Chassis Control (PCC III) linked-hydraulic suspension system. With a 6mm wider front track and new suspension geometry, the 750S ensures stable performance on roads and tracks alike. With that beautiful engine, quick transmission, new chassis and suspension geometry and loads of technology jargon, the McLaren 750S Coupe can sprint from 0-100Km/h in 2.8S and 0-200km/h in 7.2S. The Spider can achieve 0-200km/h in 7.3S. The McLaren 750S Coupe and Spider are welcome additions to the gorgeous McLaren portfolio in India.

Techspace 2024 – Top Tech Gadgets You Can’t Afford to Overlook

Before we get over the hangover, we have witnessed a couple of tech launches, mostly smartphones. With launches like the Vivo X100 Series, Oppo Reno 11 Series, OnePlus 12, and Samsung Galaxy S24 Series, the month of January is packed as sardines. And with the rising need for tech, we can expect the same throughout the year.

Apple iPhone 16 Series

Apple iPhone 15 Series was launched in September 2023, and even in January 2024, it is fairly new (and dreamy) due to the amount it costs. The next-generation iPhones will be arriving in early September 2024, but with the number of leaks, they’ve already created a buzz in the market.

Like most smartphone brands, Apple is planning to go wild on AI in 2024, and that’s the most we’re excited about. Apple is expected to make the Pro models larger in 2024, and non-Pro models are expected to get a capacitive new action button along with a couple of cool features from the iPhone 15 Pro lineup.

Nothing Phone 2a

After having two successful smartphone launches in the mid-range segment, Nothing is preparing to make an entry in the budget arena with the launch of Nothing Phone 2a, a lower-specced spin-off of the Nothing Phone (2) aim. The Nothing Phone 2a is expected to launch on 27th February 2024, in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress 2024.

Google Pixel 9 Series

Google is expected to launch three smartphones in the Pixel 9 Series: the standard Pixel 9 and two Pixel 9 Pro variants. However, the brand hasn’t said it officially, but as per the rumours, the pro variants are expected to arrive in two different sizes: a traditional one with a 6.7-inch display and another with a 6.3-inch screen.

Samsung Galaxy Fold6 and Flip6

Samsung has occupied two prime spots for its flagship smartphone launches, one in the first half of the year and the other in the second half of the year. The forthcoming Fold6 and Flip6 phones are expected to sport the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and can be the first foldables to feature official ingress protection against dust.

Apple Watch X

Apple launched the iPhone X in 2017 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, and the brand might follow the same ritual in the case of the Apple Watch X. The brand is planning to make the Apple Watch thinner than it is now, with a slimmer casing and a refreshed design.

According to the latest rumours, the Cupertino-based company is working on microLED display technology for the Apple Watch X and is expected to bring new health features, including being able to detect hypertension. Apple might skip the launch of the Watch X in 2024 altogether and instead launch the watch in 2025.

Google Pixel Watch 3

Within a short time, the Pixel Watch 2 became one of the favourites and raised the bar for the Pixel Watch 3. The design language of the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 was quite identical, and we can expect the Pixel Watch 3 to feature a different design that can have smaller bezels like the Galaxy Watch6.

Samsung Watch7 Series

Looking at the pattern Samsung has been following for the last few years, the company might skip the Watch7 Classic and instead go for the Watch7 Pro. The Samsung Watch7 Series is expected to be powered by a 3-nm chipset and will have significant battery life improvements over the Watch 6.

Apple Vision Pro

The Apple Vision Pro marks a groundbreaking milestone in the universe of wearables, heralding the zenith of VR technology and the pinnacle of mixed-reality innovation. In Apple’s lingo, this heralds the dawn of spatial computing, a domain where the headset reigns supreme as the quintessential tool for both work and play.

Dive into your memories as your photos and videos come to life in mesmerising 3D spatial video, a spectacle that extends to content captured on the cutting-edge iPhone 15 Pro. The Apple Vision Pro is a device where entertainment and productivity converge in an extraordinary symphony of innovation.
