Uber, McLaren offer Dubai drivers 650S test drive

DUBAI, November 30, 2014

Uber, a US-based ridesharing service, will team up with British Formula One team McLaren for a day, giving visitors a chance to request a test drive in the recently launched 650S via the Uber smartphone app in Dubai on December 6.

Uber users aged 25 years and above holding a UAE driving licence can order a McLaren 650S on-demand for a 15-minute test drive around Downtown Dubai or Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), accompanied by a McLaren product specialist.

Jean-Pierre Mondalek, Uber’s general manager for UAE, said: “Our collaboration with McLaren Automotive is a unique experience. You don’t get to drive a supercar on-demand every day. We’re thrilled at Uber to be partnering with McLaren to help them engage with supercar fans in Dubai.”

Reaching 0-100 kph speed in 3 seconds and with a top speed of 333 kph, the McLaren 650S will allow enthusiastic drivers to experience the thrill of five decades of Formula 1 success transferred to the road.

The 650S’s dramatic exterior styling is inspired by the iconic McLaren P1. The assertive front end, with its LED headlights and aggressive splitter, optimises downforce, as do the door blades, which help to push the 650S into the road surface for maximum feedback and security. Large side intakes help to cool the potent V8 engine.

The McLaren 650S supercar is available in the UAE starting at Dh1, 048, 500 ($285,453). – TradeArabia News Service
