Automotive enthusiasts from across the region, including guests from Lebanon, India, Bahrain and the UAE, gathered in Dubai for the ‘Celebrate McLaren’ Community Drive and Gala Reception.
Upon arrival at the Arabian Ranches Golf Club in Dubai, McLaren owners, supercar enthusiasts, and international automotive media were treated to five-star hospitality, with an itinerary meticulously crafted to showcase the best of McLaren and the stunning landscapes of the UAE.
An array of iconic supercars — from the 12c to the 675lt, 765lt, 750s, Artura, and even the legendary McLaren P1™ — lined up on the golf club’s lawn, powerfully illustrating the remarkable breadth and evolution of McLaren Automotive.
The experience commenced with a breathtaking Community Drive through the Northern Emirates as 65 McLarens made their way up to the peak of Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah, the highest point in the United Arab Emirates.
Considered by many to be one of the best driving roads in the world, the twisty turns of Jais Road provide the ideal setting to experience the precision engineering, blistering power, and unmatched drive dynamics of McLaren supercars.
Returning to Dubai as the sun set, guests were invited to continue their celebration of McLaren as they stepped onto the Orange Carpet and made a grand entrance at the glamorous Gala Reception at Bluewaters Forum by Delano, one of Dubai’s most iconic waterfront venues, for a night of celebration, conversation, and community spirit.
“Owning a McLaren isn’t just about owning an iconic British supercar. It’s about being part of a rich heritage of motorsports achievements and automotive engineering excellence that stretches back more than half a century. This is why it’s vital to us to host our McLaren community at fantastic events like this, to celebrate this heritage in an experience of luxury, performance and prestige befitting of the McLaren pedigree,” said Robert Holtshausen, Market Director for McLaren Middle East, India and Africa
