The all-new McLaren GTS is equipped with an upgraded 4.0T V8 turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 635 horsepower, which is 15 horsepower more than the current McLaren GT.

In the end, the new McLaren GTS can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h in just 8.9 seconds, and has a top speed of 326 km/h.

In addition, the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that matches the engine has also been upgraded, with a paddle shift function and three driving modes: comfort, sport, and track.

Exterior aerodynamic upgrades

While the power of the new McLaren GTS has been increased, its exterior aerodynamic components have also been significantly improved.

While retaining the iconic wedge-shaped headlights, the new car adds wind knife components on both sides of the front surround, allowing the front area to obtain better aerodynamic characteristics.

At the same time, the rear of the car is still equipped with a large-size diffuser and dual tailpipes, and GTS logos are added under the car logo and on the front fender to highlight its identity.

In addition, the new McLaren GTS is equipped with 390mm front and 380mm rear carbon ceramic brake discs and front six and rear four-piston brake calipers, as well as new-style ten-spoke lightweight wheels and Pirelli P ZERO tires, and titanium alloy wheel bolts (35% lighter than standard bolts) are available as options. The newly added adaptive damping suspension further improves the vehicle’s handling and comfort.

More comfortable interior configuration

The interior configuration of the new McLaren GTS has been greatly improved in terms of comfort.

The entire dark red interior is equipped with luxurious features such as Nappa leather seats with rectangular checkered patterns, a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel, a 7-inch central control screen, and a 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system.
