McLaren Automotive continues to expand its sports car line with the addition of its newest model — the GT.<\/p>\n

First unveiled at the Geneva auto show in March, the grand tourer is McLaren’s take on luxury supercars intended for long-distance driving.<\/p>\n

It runs on a 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 engine and is designed with a 7-speed transmission. This unique engine setup produces 612 hp and 465 pound-feet of torque.<\/p>\n

The GT is expected to run 60 mph in 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 203 mph.<\/p>\n

According to McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt, the GT was specially designed to “provide an alternative to existing products in an expanding market segment.”<\/p>\n

It joins other luxury models from the brand including the Speedtail hypercar, the 720S Spider, ad the 600LT Spider, which are all part of McLaren’s Track 25 business plan. The said business plan started rolling out products in 2018 and is targeting to launch a total of 18 new models or derivatives by the year 2024.<\/p>\n

But despite being marketed alongside the automaker’s other supercars, the grand tourer will not be included in any of the brand’s series — Sports, Super, and Ultimate.<\/p>\n
