Kanoo Motors S.P.C., a leading high-end automotive retailer, officially inaugurated its McLaren Bahrain showroom next to the exclusive Moda Mall, at the Bahrain World Trade Centre. The prestigious event was opened by McLaren Middle East Managing Director, Andreas Bareis, Kanoo Motors Chief Operating Officer, Stefan Moench and Head of McLaren Bahrain, Trevor Fletcher. Present were Kanoo Motors executives and members of the Press. The opening follows the recent appointment of Kanoo Motors as the official distributor of McLaren Automotive in Bahrain, which was announced by McLaren Automotive Chief Executive Officer, Mike Flewitt and Kanoo Motors Directors, Ebrahim M. Kanoo and Talal F. Kanoo during an official ceremony held at the Bahrain International Circuit.
“We are proud and excited to be ushering in a new era for this supercar giant in the Kingdom,” said Ebrahim M. Kanoo. “McLaren is a brand that has captivated sports and supercar enthusiasts around the world. Despite its 50 year heritage in Formula 1TM and racing disciplines, McLaren as an automotive manufacturer is relatively young with only five years as a full challenger to the market. In this short time, it has established a strong and loyal fan base of sports and supercars here in Bahrain and in neighbouring GCC countries.”
He added: “McLaren owners also deserve service facilities that match the supremely high performance of their cars. We reaffirm our commitment to providing a superior after sales service that offers our clients the level of quality they expect from the McLaren brand. Added to this, McLaren confidence is further strengthened with its unique offering of a standard 3 year/100 000km warranty which is also extendable to 10 years.”
The public can now view the range of luxury handcrafted Super and Sports Series cars from McLaren at the showroom, while aftersales care is available at a newly created facility located in Tubli, with technicians already fully trained by McLaren to ensure the highest standards of aftercare.
The range of vehicles available from McLaren Bahrain includes the Sports Series and Super Series models. The groundbreaking McLaren 650S and 675LT Spider derivatives incorporate a range of Formula 1TM technologies, such as the carbon fibre MonoCell, active aerodynamics and the state-of-the-art ProActive Chassis Control, providing the ultimate control on both road and track.
The McLaren range completes with the more attainable and multi award-winning Sports Series, conceived to introduce McLaren DNA and performance credentials to the sports car segment. With a road-biased nature, yet still honing race derived technologies to offer supercar levels of performance, the new Sports Series provides enhanced all round usability and promises an exhilarating and fun driving experience.
