All-new McLaren GTS joins McLaren’s GT line-up
McLaren introduces the new GTS, which joins the McLaren line-up to update the GT. The ultra-light GTS is designed to delight drivers looking for the dynamic excellence and driving thrill of a McLaren, as well as ride comfort, refinement and luggage. Area suitable for diet and long trips.
“The new McLaren GTS offers an unrivaled combination of driving dynamics and McLaren performance, with refinement and practicality. When you need a true supercar driving experience, the GTS has it for you; when you need to relax on a long trip or with your luggage. For a weekend, the GTS is the best companion. It’s a car true to McLaren’s racing DNA, but with multiple degrees of capability. “
Michael Leiters, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive
Maintaining McLaren’s main appeals: a charming yet functional design, a top-notch power-to-weight ratio (made possible by a lightweight carbon fibre structure centred around a unique monocoque chassis) and unrivalled driving dynamics, the new GTS is also visually seamless. Tougher and offers a wider selection of external and internal specifications.
The GT’s sleek external lines remain the foundation of the car’s overall and aerodynamic profile, but additional visual improvements mean the GTS is even more assertive. At the front of the GTS, the signature “hammerhead” styling has been updated with a new reduction. front bumper segment. This domain of the car features newly sculpted and more pronounced air intakes, with wider air intakes to channel more air into the car’s radiator system. The front air intake fins can be presented as an option in glossy carbon fibre, reflecting McLaren’s racing DNA and giving the GTS a more competitive look. On the rear fenders, the new higher air intakes, also available in high-gloss carbon fiber, are located on the shoulders of the car. Like the redesigned front end, the rear fender upgrades are functional and allow for increased airflow in the 4. 0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine.
The muscular visuals and surfacing of the GTS include a large rear diffuser and dual exhausts – the latter also part of a package that delivers a raw supercar soundtrack on demand with the optional Sports Exhaust system.
As standard, the GTS comes with a gloss black finish on the exhaust finisher, mirror caps and window surrounds, for a stealthy appearance by default. New GTS badging, including new side badges, can be tinted with a black finish by selecting the Stealth Badge Pack option. Visual carbon fibre options include an underbody carbon pack, which encompasses the front splitter, side skirts and rear bumper lower and diffuser. Exterior details such as the front air intake blades, the rear fender air intakes and mirror caps can also be finished in carbon fibre.
The GTS is underpinned by the MonoCell II-T carbon fibre monocoque chassis, which features a strong, ultra-light structure and the rigidity demanded by a mid-engined McLaren supercar. The popular composite roof is made from recycled carbon fiber, one of several weight-saving responses built into the GTS’s structure that help optimize the vehicle’s functionality and dynamics. These potential options play a key role in enabling the GTS to deliver a thrilling driving experience of a lightweight supercar, without any deterioration in ride quality or noise. hardness and vibration.
At just 1,520 kg (DIN), the GTS is the lightest vehicle in its class and has the best power-to-weight ratio in the segment at 418 hp per tonne. Power from the 4. 0-liter M840TE twin-turbo V8 engine was in excess of 635 hp at 7,500 rpm, with the additional 15 hp coming from increased crankshaft torque, made imaginable through more competitive combustion timing and revised ignition timing. A release control serves as standard; when activated, the GTS reaches 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3. 2 seconds and 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) in just 8. 9 seconds. The GTS’s most sensitive speed is 326 km/h (203 mph).
The GTS features a seven-speed SSG transmission that delivers sleek, sleek and quick shifts in the default Comfort mode right out of the box, ensuring relaxing, fast acceleration. Beyond that, the driver can decorate their supercar experience with two more options. driving modes (Sport and Track) via the Active Dynamics panel. The game introduces drama and added urgency, with momentary on/off generation allowing for faster and more competitive gear changes. Track mode takes this point even further, maximizing the functionality of the gearbox with minimal torque. loss between changes. Manual shift control is conceivable using the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters in any driving mode.
The tuning of the electro-hydraulic steering system, the standard-fit suspension featuring adaptive damping with proactive damping control, and the powerful carbon ceramic braking system are all unique to the GTS. These elements optimise the mid-mounted position of the V8 engine and the car’s lightweight construction for an authentic supercar driving experience, with balance and agility prioritised, but not at the expensive of comfort and ride quality when this is beneficial.
The orientation of the GTS gives a point of comment and feels unmatched against its competitors. Ultra-precise and precise, the formula automatically increases its assist point at low speeds, for ease of use in low-speed manoeuvres such as parallel or parallel parking.
The McLaren GTS is equipped with 390mm brake discs at the front and 380mm discs at the rear, all carbon ceramic. With lightweight six-piston aluminium calipers (four-piston at the rear), the braking system delivers immense feel and performance, capable of bringing the car to a halt from 62mph in just 32 metres.
Continuously variable hydraulic dual-valve surprise dampers from McLaren Automotive’s official intelligent suspension supplier, Monroe, form a basic component of the lightweight double-wishbone aluminium suspension. Thanks to McLaren’s adaptive damping technology, Proactive Damper Control, suspension characteristics vary between the 3 Active Dynamics modes: Comfort, Sport and Track. This ranges from maximum compliance in Comfort mode, ideal for a more comfortable ride, to a much more physically powerful shock absorber in Track mode, for dynamic driving.
The GTS is also within its comfort zone in an urban environment. Forward visibility is excellent, while the gigantic glass tailgate, glazed C-pillars and gigantic rear windows offer a first-class rear view. The ground clearance of the underbody from 110 mm can be higher up to 130 mm thanks to the vehicle’s lift function. Improved on the GT system, the GTS vehicle lift can now raise or lower the nose in just 4 seconds, more than twice as fast as before.
A carbon fiber rear top design within the monocoque chassis design allows for the creation of a giant, flexible luggage area in the passenger cell. With a capacity of 420 litres, the shipping area is available via a full-length front-hinged glass tailgate. , which is electric and incorporates a soft-close function. Luggage space is complemented by a 150-litre garage space at the front of the car. The total shipping space of 570 litres makes the McLaren GTS the most practical new supercar in recent times. on sale.
Aligned with the inherent practicality of the GTS is an interior designed to blend the car’s level of performance with a refined and luxurious space. It is a comfortable cabin for long distance journeys, while it also provides a platform from which the driver can take full advantage of the car’s outstanding dynamic capabilities.
The refined interior uses a combination of selected fabrics to provide an atmosphere of functionality and luxury. Machine-polished and knurled aluminum switches and controls are placed inside, in addition to steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, along with glossy black frames for the infotainment system. Display, center console gear selector, ventilation housings, and window switches. Optional carbon fibre visual packages come with a satin-finished carbon steering wheel closure and extended paddle shifters, as well as McLaren-branded interior contours and sill finishes.
As standard, the GTS’s Comfort seats are upholstered in Nappa leather along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The new Performance and TechLux interiors introduce a refreshed design. The Performance trim is sporty, elegant and technical with seats upholstered in Softgrain Aniline leather and Alcantara©. Jet Black or Barolo, with contrasting piping. Performance also includes comfortable, heated, electrically adjustable memory foam seats. The new TechLux interior embodies vintage elegance, but with a modern McLaren twist. A selection of soft-grained aniline leather interiors feature intricate color accents with a new trend of double piping on the seats.
The 10. 25-inch virtual equipment display, with its sharp, crisp graphics, provides a clear view of important driver information such as speed, number of gears and engine speed, and integrates with the popular navigation to provide step-by-step instructions. The GTS also has a central infotainment formula with a 7-inch touchscreen, in portrait orientation. Crisp and responsive thanks to its rugged 10-core processor, it’s easy to use, with its smartphone-style menu and input method. Satellite navigation with HERE® navigation Real-time maps and traffic data, Bluetooth phone connectivity and media streaming, as well as DAB virtual radio reception, are popular.

Interior lighting is offered using six-colour ambient lighting hidden until switched on, while natural lighting provided through a panoramic glass roof is available with an electrochromic glass panel, replacing the popular gloss black carbon fibre composite roof. It allows the driver to select one of five degrees of light transmission at the touch of a button. In its darkest configuration, the electrochromic ceiling offers a light transmission point of 0. 6%.
In addition to an expanded and revamped palette of external paints that add new features like Mantis Green, Tanzanite Blue, and Ice White, there’s a new color exclusive to the GTS since launch: Lava Grey. This metallic finishes in a bright red dot that catches the light to create. A unique effect that sets it apart from other shades of solar grey.
Other additions include a new 10-spoke Turbine forged light alloy wheel, available in silver, gloss black, gloss black with Diamond Cut effect and Orum. The GTS’s popular rim is a forged 10 double-spoke forged alloy wheel, also featured in silver, gloss black or diamond-cut gloss black, as well as a unique tungsten option. Both wheel designs can be combined with new optional titanium locking wheel bolts, which are 35% lighter than popular bolts and reduce unsprung mass. McLaren’s technical partner Pirelli has evolved the materials of the P ZERO™ tyres, especially for the GTS, providing maximum functionality and degrees of grip, and refinement to an equivalent extent.
The McLaren GTS comes with a three-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty, as well as a three-year paint warranty and a ten-year puncture warranty. The GTS is eligible for the McLaren Extended Warranty, which can be purchased in 12 or 24-month periods up to a full 12-year warranty. Three-year vehicle maintenance is included in the McLaren Service Plan.
An accomplished and functional approach to a lightweight McLaren supercar, the new GTS takes its place in a McLaren line-up that will continue evolving in 2024 and beyond.
