Tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia this month surprised his son, Rajiv Ruparelia, with a Diwali gift of a brand new 2022 McLaren 765LT Spider, a supercar worth Shs1.7 billion.
An excited Rajiv took to social media and shared a video of the grand unveiling with the caption; “Living my childhood dream.”
Rajiv also went ahead and shared photos of a joyride with both his parents, enjoying the luxurious McLaren together on the streets of London.
The supercar is a special Diwali gift from Sudhir to his son. Diwali is a Hindu festival, also known as the Indian festival of lights that symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
The annual event is characterized with a colorful, lively, and immersive celebration. Diwali is observed as a public holiday in various countries like Fiji, Mauritius, India, and Trinidad & Tobago. It’s estimated that over 100 million people celebrate the festival, and in most places, the celebrations last for five days.
The McLaren 765LT Spider is renowned for its speed and engineering. Equipped with a powerful 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, this supercar can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a breathtaking 2.8 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in just 7.2 seconds.
It boasts a top speed of 330 km/h, making it one of the most impressive vehicles in its class.
Currently, Rajiv lives in the United Kingdom, and oversees the Ruparelia Group’s family businesses across Europe.
