Coming Soon

McLaren GT 1st Generation

20202024 · coupe

McLaren's grand-touring entry — same 4.0L M840TE twin-turbo V8 platform as the 720S but retuned to 612 hp with softer power delivery. Longer wheelbase, taller rear deck with a glass-roofed luggage shelf above the engine (~14 cu ft of usable cargo). Carbon-fiber Monocage with revised geometry for comfort. Replaced by the GTS in 2024.

Watch out: Shares the M840T engine family with the 720S — turbocharger and oil-system service intervals matter. Glass engine cover above the powerplant transmits substantial heat into the cargo area; don't leave heat-sensitive items back there. As with all McLarens, carbon-tub repair after even minor damage is expensive and routes through McLaren-certified body shops only.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
