McLaren appoints Wearnes Automotive as official dealer for Singapore

Wearnes Automotive currently represents a wide variety of makes in Singapore, such as Bentley, Jaguar, Land Rover, Renault, Volvo and Bugatti, and it has now added British supercar maker McLaren to its stable, in anticipation of the local launch of the new McLaren MP4-12C sports car that will arrive by the end of this year. McLaren expects Singapore to be one of its key markets in the Asia-Pacific region, and has moved to appoint an established dealer like Wearnes as its local representative.

Ian Gorsuch, McLaren Automotive's Regional Director for the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, said: "I am pleased to announce the new partnership between McLaren Automotive and our representative in Singapore, Wearnes Automotive. They are among the best car retailers in the region - if not the best. Singapore is a key and high potential market for us."

Gorsuch continued, "At McLaren Automotive, we believe that by combining quality and innovation, we can offer a unique product range of 'pure' McLarens. The icing on the cake will be the highest standards of customer care as we are well aware that a great ownership experience is as valuable as great driving enjoyment. By joining forces with Wearnes Automotive, whose sound experience and reputation in the Singapore car market has proved highly attractive to us, we will ensure our customers receive the very best on both fronts."

Andre Roy, Group Managing Director of Wearnes Automotive, said: "We are very pleased and honoured to be officially confirmed as the Singapore dealer for McLaren - a much coveted brand legendary for its high performance sports and racing cars. This appointment marks the start of a great partnership of two motoring companies aligned in passion-driven ethos and sharing a common commitment to high quality and cutting-edge innovation"

"Wearnes Automotive has been representing renowned automotive brands in Singapore since 1906. Our century-old heritage, expertise in retailing prestige models and continuous pursuit towards customer excellence strongly complements McLaren Automotive's plans to present elite customers with ground-breaking masterpieces."

"The launch of the 12C is highly-anticipated in Singapore and we are confident of great success as we have already received indications of purchase interest from eager customers. Wearnes Automotive are working towards the allocation and are aware that there will be a waiting list."
