MCLAREN GT Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

The 2019 McLaren GT was created to enter into a market dominated by front-engined GT cars. The McLaren GT had a mid-engine and rear-wheel-drive powertrain, featuring a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. At almost 4.7 meters (15.4 ft) in length, the McLaren GT is longer than any other vehicle made by the British car manufacturer. It sits on 20” light-alloy wheels in the front, which are paired with 21” for the rear wheels.

Inside, the McLaren GT struggled to offer maximum comfort and luxury. The leather bucket seats could be covered in Nappa leather trim fitted as standard or could be upgraded to softgrain luxury leather or Alcantara, depending on vehicle specification. A 12.3” TFT screen was placed in front of the driver, as an instrument cluster. The information showed there could be chosen by the driver, offering almost full customization, but the central tachometer with a digital speedometer was always displayed.

Usually, a GT doesn't have too much trunk space. The McLaren GT had two trunks: a bigger one in the back, on top of the engine, and another “frunk” in the front. The total space was 570 liters (20.1 cu-ft), which is more than most of the sedan trunks. The 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine developed 620 hp, which were more than enough to transform the GT into a supercar, especially since the overall weight was only 1530 kg (3373 lbs).
