Overview
GRAND TOURING WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN
The superlight GT reimagines the breed. And the results are extraordinary. Strikingly beautiful. Engineered for continent-crossing capability. With an engaging yet comfortable ride. And generous luggage space…
In the new McLaren GT, these key ingredients are reinvented and applied in new, innovative ways. Then combined with power and performance that is undiluted McLaren. To create the lightest, quickest accelerating car in its class. A Grand Tourer has never been so thrilling. So refined. So engaging.
Suddenly, those Grand Tourer conventions look very old.

Design
All the space for what you need and love
The McLaren GT’s sweeping, sculpted profile isn’t simply our interpretation of what a Grand Tourer can be. But what it should be. Driven by our ‘everything for a reason design philosophy. Fuelled by the spirit of innovation. It starts at the core, with a bespoke MonoCell II-T carbon fibre chassis for maximum strength but minimum weight – perfect for touring with power, speed and efficiency. Our iconic Dihedral doors are unique in the class, too. While the car’s versatile, spacious and elegant form is a model of aerodynamic efficiency.
THE DESIGN OF THE GT
The GT is influenced by the classic proportions. But our relentless dedication to innovation touches every element. Bucking tradition, it’s mid-engined. And built around a lightweight carbon fibre chassis. So it isn’t heavy and cumbersome. In fact, it’s hundreds of kilograms lighter than most. Which means it goes and handles like a true McLaren. The innovations continue inside the cockpit. Where you’ll find our latest McLaren Infotainment System. A full length powered and glazed rear tailgate. An electrochromic panoramic roof that can provide five different levels of shade at the touch of a button. And hidden ambient lighting that adds stylish detail to the cabin.
PERFECT PROPORTIONS
It’s in the stance. And the dimensions. The GT tells its story through sheer presence and balanced proportions. Longer than other McLaren models at almost 4.7m, the profile is shaped by more of a
refined touch that tapers and flows – for aerodynamic efficiency, and to create space.
Distinctive lines draw your eye across the front and out to the prominent wings. The raised ground clearance makes manoeuvring over tricky obstacles a breeze. While higher air intakes allow for slimmer
duct openings. In nature, as in McLaren design – what looks beautiful so often works beautifully too.
The bespoke carbon fibre MonoCell II-T superlight GT chassis is unique in the world of Grand Tourers. It’s a maximum-strength, minimum-weight masterpiece that’s heavy on benefits. Inherently stiff and safe, it’s been created to provide real everyday usability. In the upper structure, there’s a carbon fibre clamshell to accommodate the new spacious luggage bay. The innovative carbon fibre structure of the GT truly pushes the spatial standards for a two seat, mid-engined Grand Tourer. Without compromising agility, performance or lightness.

THE PERFECT COMPANION
Powerful and intuitive, the fast, fluid touchscreen of the infotainment system is a breath of fresh air with sophisticated graphics inspired by private jets rather than the automotive world. Information is always clear and restrained. Which makes it ideal for long journeys or night driving. The whole experience is effortless, designed to feel as intuitive as using your tablet or smartphone. From the seven inch central touchscreen, you can control and tailor a host of technology and vehicle settings. Satellite navigation, Bluetooth, media streaming and digital radio are at your fingertips. So is the hidden-until-lit ambient lighting, dual zone climate control and air conditioning.
The feeling of space is exceptional. You sense it the moment you climb into the GT. The ambience is refined but uncluttered. You’re cocooned but never cramped. A sensation that’s amplified by a meticulously refined driving position, excellent visibility and slim windscreen pillars. It accommodates your luggage without fuss. The GT surpasses its rivals. Unique to this model, the luggage bay is beautifully trimmed and big enough to swallow a variety of leisure equipment. And the front luggage bay takes a couple of overnight bags with ease.

60TH ANNIVERSARY OPTIONS
Sixty years ago Bruce McLaren sparked an automotive revolution. By founding a company that accepted no compromise. That pushed beyond every limit. And that proudly bears his name today. From seminal racing cars and ground-breaking road cars, to record-smashing victories and industry-changing designs, McLaren has forged a reputation for blazing a bright, singular trail. Ripping up the rules. Beating benchmarks.
Engagement
IT TURNS OUT YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL
As a rule, Grand Tourers are comfortable. Insulating. Which often means they’re also heavy and unresponsive. Not to mention blunt when it comes to handling and driver engagement. The McLaren GT makes that rule obsolete. Blisteringly quick and responsive, it injects adrenalin and racing DNA into the class. And it does all of this while delivering a supremely refined ride.
The innovative engineering makes the GT a true McLaren. Pioneering refinements like our Proactive Damping Control suspension. Just like you, this advanced system constantly analyses road conditions to adapt – predictively. And learns from every journey you make. The result? Ride comfort and handling precision that’s perfectly optimized. Every moment. On every journey. You really can have it all. instant torque enables throttle response that’s twice as fast as our pure petrol cars – seamlessly transitioning to the V8 engine to deliver a torrent of power from standstill.
LIGHTNESS
NEXT GENERATION REFINEMENT
At McLaren, we don’t believe that luxury has to come with a walnut veneer.
Lots of weight. And wood. You’ll usually find both inside a conventional Grand Tourer. So in the GT, our design team have reimagined luxury. For a new era. Clutter and weight have been banished. Honed elegance is the design ethos. Light and space rules. Resulting in a new age superlight grand tourer.
Everything you touch is beautifully made from ultimate quality, pioneering materials. There’s world-class softgrain leather. solid aluminium. And the option of soft, tactile Cashmere. Together, it creates a refined, welcoming environment – alive with technology, punctuated with light.
Power
THE SUPERCAR FOR EVERY DAY driver
The GT is a joy to drive. Because it’s light, stiff and has a glorious mid-mounted engine for ideal weight distribution. And because McLaren DNA flows through every part. The advanced Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system, for example, keeps the car safe and stable in all kinds of conditions. As with every McLaren, there’s a brake steer system too. Always ready to subtly slow the inside rear wheel to sharpen turn-in and reduce understeer – giving you the confidence to apply the power earlier in challenging twists and turns.

There are hidden advantages, too – without the need for a traditional limited-slip differential, complexity and weight are minimised.
WE DON’T BREAK THE RULES. WE MAKE THEM
It begins where car meets road… To create new rules, the fundamentals of suspension and tyres have to be exceptional. Bespoke cutting edge Proactive Damping Control suspension delivers a ride and handling balance that has to be experienced. While lightweight aluminium components and electronically controlled twin-valve dampers provide individual compression and rebound performance that’s in a class of one. Painstakingly developed with Pirelli, the bespoke P ZERO™ tyres are the definition of multitalented. They’re built to enhance dynamics, steering feel and ride comfort while lowering noise. And they can take every condition in their stride, including cold and wet driving conditions.
The McLaren 4.0 litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine is the beating heart of many or our incredible cars. Yet this one is different… Born to deliver smooth linear acceleration and flexibility. The key is 630Nm of torque produced from 5,500rpm to 6,500rpm. Available in a sustained relentless flow. Not in one frantic peak. Many components are totally unique to the astonishing engine. Like the new aluminium pistons. And ultra-low inertia twin turbochargers. Unlocking more efficiency. Seamless power. And a fast response that feels relentless. Innovative packaging keeps its centre of gravity low for ultimate balance and handling. The GT has the depth of sheer supercar performance and all-day refinement at its heart.
NO COMPROMISE
The contrast between natural agility and heavy engineering… It’s the difference between a finely balanced instrument and a blunt implement. Just like its no-compromise mid-engine layout, the GT’s carbon fibre MonoCell II-T chassis is unique in its sector. And a far cry from the conventional alternatives. Its incredibly low weight and stiffness make an ideal platform for the all-new cutting edge suspension. While electro-hydraulic steering – an older technology that’s yet to be bettered in terms of direct feel – offers unparalleled levels of driver feedback. Telepathically responsive when you want it to be. Yet effortless at low speeds or around town.
