2021 McLaren GT

The GT is McLaren's take on a grand tourer, a mid-engined coupe that trades some track focus for long-distance comfort. It's a genuine McLaren, so the steering is sharp and the chassis feels alive, yet it's more forgiving than the brand's harder-edged models. The ride is surprisingly compliant for a supercar, and the cabin stays quiet enough for a day of highway driving. There's a useful front trunk and a rear shelf behind the seats, giving the GT more luggage space than you'd expect from a McLaren. As the only trim, the GT comes with the full grand-tourer setup: a mid-mounted 4.0L V8, a quiet cabin, and a compliant suspension for covering ground all day. The 4.0L V8 pairs with a seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, giving you strong thrust that builds linearly rather than hitting you all at once. It rides on unique GT-tuned dampers that take the edge off rough pavement, so you can relax on a long trip without losing the McLaren steering feel.
