Expert Review
4.26/5
The McLaren GT is the more practical side of McLaren's supercar family. It combines the low, dramatic shape and lightweight engineering of a McLaren with a cabin and luggage space designed for longer journeys. It is still unmistakably exotic, but it is less intimidating to use every day than a hardcore track-focused McLaren.
The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 produces around 620 PS and sends power to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Acceleration is brutally quick, while the lightweight construction makes the GT feel sharp and responsive through corners. The suspension is relatively compliant for a supercar, and the rear luggage area gives it genuine touring ability.
Who should buy it? Enthusiasts who want supercar performance but also care about comfort, luggage space and longer highway drives.
What will bug you? Ground clearance is a serious issue on Indian roads, visibility is limited, tyres and brakes are expensive, and specialist service support is essential.
