Automaker McLaren opens first showroom in Vietnam
British automaker McLaren opened its first official Vietnamese showroom in HCMC on Thursday. The McLaren HCM reseller, located at the Deutsches Haus building in HCMC’s District 1, is invested and run by S&S Group. With an authorized reseller in Vietnam, McLaren said it would deliver the newest supercars for the Vietnamese elite class.
At the opening ceremony for the showroom, Charlotte Dickson, head of Asia Pacific at McLaren, said Vietnam is the firm’s 41st market.
Nguyen Thuy Huong, co-founder of S&S, said HCMC was chosen as the location for McLaren’s first showroom as it is deemed an ideal destination with much potential for brand development.
Through its authorized reseller, McLaren is expected to introduce to the Vietnamese market with several types of supercars, including the 765LT. Besides the showroom, S&S Group would also provide car repair and maintenance services.
McLaren, founded in 2010, is a subsidiary owned by the wider McLaren Group. Its headquarters and manual assembly plant are in Woking, Surrey County, England.
Besides the main product of supercars, the company also makes sports cars with more affordable price tags.
