Is the McLaren GT the forgotten model? While it may not have been a favorite for everyone, we’ve featured over 700 spots of the GT on our site. Today, we’re excited to share the first-ever sighting on our site of the facelifted McLaren GTS, captured in Sydney, Australia.
Supercar DNA
The McLaren GTS is designed to challenge your expectations - an uncompromising supercar through and through. But what sets it apart is its unique blend of ultimate performance and everyday usability. This makes the GTS a one-of-a-kind supercar that offers both exhilarating speed and practicality.
It retains the core McLaren elements: stunning yet functional design, a class-leading power-to-weight ratio made possible by its lightweight carbon fiber construction, and unmatched driving dynamics. This is a superlight, high-performance machine with thrilling driver engagement that makes every journey an event.
A word from McLaren CEO, Michael Leiters:
"When you want a true supercar driving experience, the GTS delivers. But when you want to relax on a long journey or take luggage for a weekend away, the GTS is the perfect companion. It's a car that stays true to McLaren’s racing DNA, but offers multiple layers of capability."
Performance
The McLaren GTS has the highest power-to-weight ratio in its class. With a supercar heart, razor-sharp responses, and incredible acceleration, it embodies McLaren’s DNA. The car feels alive, reacting instantly to every input, delivering pure excitement thanks to its increased power and torque. Whether on the track or the road, the GTS’s sheer power and poise are yours to experience whenever you choose.
Engagement
At the heart of the GTS is a chassis designed with zero compromises. The super-light, rigid MonoCell II-T serves as the perfect foundation for McLaren’s Proactive Damping Control suspension system. Lightweight aluminum double wishbones and uprights, along with continuously variable, electronically controlled dual-valve dampers, give each wheel independent compression and rebound.
The GTS offers an unmistakable balance between ride and handling, thanks to longer dampers and a unique anti-roll bar. It’s a car that learns as you drive, with advanced software from McLaren's research at the University of Cambridge reading the road and adapting in real-time to changing conditions.
Design and Innovation
Every detail of the GTS is designed with purpose. McLaren’s design philosophy ensures that every form serves a function, contributing to the whole. The GTS is shaped by relentless innovation, starting at its core - the ultra-lightweight MonoCell II-T carbon fiber chassis. Fine-tuned for everyday usability, this cutting-edge structure is hundreds of kilograms lighter than a traditional chassis, giving the GTS its class-leading power-to-weight ratio, superior acceleration, and remarkable dynamics.
