Interestingly, the idea of using Lord Ganesha as a symbol for Lanzante can be traced back to George Harrison of The Beatles, who was deeply influenced by Indian spirituality. Harrison considered Ganesha a bringer of good fortune and a remover of obstacles, qualities the company says align perfectly with its ethos of overcoming engineering challenges while maintaining style, Mid Day reported.

About The Lanzante 95-59

Lanzante, long known for restoring and converting iconic race cars, unveiled its first-ever hypercar under its own badge, the 95-59. The name pays tribute to the company's famous 1995 Le Mans victory with the McLaren F1 GTR, the Times of India reported.

  • Design : Penned by Paul Howse, designer of the McLaren P1, the 95-59 features a unique three-seat central driving position. A glass roof floods the cabin with light, while switches mounted on the roof pod give it a jet-like feel.

  • Performance : Powering the hypercar is an 850 hp twin-turbo V8 engine, wrapped in a lightweight carbon-fibre body. The central exhaust, inspired by the F-22 fighter jet, adds to its aggressive aerodynamics.
  • Exclusivity : Only 59 units will be produced, each carrying the Ganesha-inspired crest. Prices begin at around €1.38 million (approx ₹12.5 crore), making it a prized collector's item.

The Lanzante 95-59 may be ultra-exclusive, but its logo has already captured the imagination of millions online, proving that sometimes design can speak louder than horsepower.
