McLaren has announced that it will update its GT supercar with the new GTS. Your “normal” supercar, like a Lamborghini Huracan, can’t carry much more than a single bag and rarely presents itself very accurately as “practical” for anything other than ripping. Assemble sets of tires or ride canyon paths. However, according to McLaren, the GTS is not only absurdly fast, in typical McLaren fashion, but is even useful as a car.
On the power end, the GTS is privileged to host a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with a seven-speed transmission that puts out 626 horsepower. That translates to a 0-60 time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 203 miles per hour. Stopping is accomplished by carbon ceramic front and rear brakes that, per McLaren, can slow the car from 62 miles per hour to a dead stop in 105 feet. It helps that the front brake rotors are 15 and a half inches in diameter with six pistons, and the back rotors are 15 inches with four pistons. The GTS is also remarkably light for a car boasting over 600 horsepower at only 3,232 pounds, or a little bit heavier than a Toyota Corolla.
From a practical standpoint, the GTS is strangely usable. McLaren claims to have 20. 1 cubic feet of cargo space from the front trunk (or “frunk” in formal terms) and seating space. For comparison, the aforementioned 2024 Corolla has only 13. 1 cubic feet of floor space. Not only will you be able to spend your holidays in the McLaren GTS; You might get there very quickly. Without a doubt, it will also be a comfortable holiday. The interior is upholstered with optional Nappa leather on as many surfaces as possible. In addition, you can opt for heated power seats with memory settings.
For infotainment, you’re entertained through a 12-speaker Bowers Wilkins sound system and informed via a 7-inch center display and a 10. 25-inch screen on the steering wheel. The wheels are 10-spoke alloy wheels and are available in various colors. They are equipped with Pirelli P-Zero tires, but not just any P-Zero that you might find on any vintage Mustang. These 225/35/R20 front tyres and 295/30/R21 rear tyres were commissioned through McLaren to evolve them. in particular for the GTS.
Finally, the GTS rounds out the practicality with an oddly appropriate fuel economy score of around 22 miles per gallon combined. The 2024 McLaren GTS configurator is now available and McLaren has already opened orders for delivery next year.
