A Divine Touch to Speed 🚘✨
When you think of supercars, you imagine roaring engines, futuristic designs, and breathtaking speed. But Lanzante 95-59, a British automotive brand, has added something truly unique—Lord Ganesha in its logo. Yes, the elephant-headed deity, known as the remover of obstacles, sits proudly at the heart of this supercar badge.
This is not just a logo—it’s a symbol of wisdom, power, and prosperity traveling at 300+ km/h
Who is Lanzante? 🏎️🇬🇧
Lanzante Limited is a boutique British motorsport and engineering company. They first made history in 1995 when their McLaren F1 GTR, car no. 59, won the 24 Hours of Le Mans (Wikipedia).
Since then, Lanzante has been famous for:
- Converting track-only race cars into road-legal beasts.
- Customizing McLaren and Porsche icons into ultra-rare collector models.
- Engineering unique builds like the McLaren P1 LM and Porsche 930 TAG Turbo.
But in 2025, Lanzante stepped into the spotlight with a car that is completely their own—the 95-59 Hypercar (Car and Driver).
Lord Ganesha on the Hood 🕉️
The most eye-catching feature of the Lanzante 95-59 is its logo of Lord Ganesha. This spiritual connection was inspired by George Harrison of The Beatles, a close friend of founder Paul Lanzante. Harrison, known for his love of Indian culture, suggested the symbol as a source of good fortune and wisdom (Livemint).
The timing couldn’t have been better—the logo went viral during Ganesh Chaturthi, sparking waves of pride across Indian social media. Hashtags like “Ganpati Bappa Morya” trended worldwide as car fans celebrated the cultural crossover (The Bridge Chronicle).
