Pros

Stunning good looks
Sizable trunk
Simple, effective interior controls

Cons

Not as practical as other grand tourers
Performance seems artificially dialed back
Confused about whether it wants to be a sports car or a GT

What's new

No major changes for 2023
Part of the first GT generation introduced for 2020

Overview

The McLaren GT is the supercar maker's take on a touring car, designed to offer performance thrills and road trip comfort in a single package. It goes up against the crème-de-la-crème of sport/touring car mutants, from the Aston Martin DB11 and Bentley Continental to the Ferrari Roma and Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 McLaren GT 2dr Coupe (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 7AM) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.31 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Thinking of the GT as the tame McLaren is to underestimate what it really is. It's the same thing as saying a lion is the tame big cat; it might seem demure compared to a tiger, but it still has plenty of bite. Touring car or not, we're still talking about a McLaren with a carbon-fiber monocoque structure and aluminum body work. The doors still open up and not out, though the GT is easier to enter and exit than other McLarens and has a more dressed-up interior, including cashmere upholstery as an option.

Power comes from a mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 making 612 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque, enough to get the 3,373-pound "touring car" from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds and take it to a top speed of 203 mph. You know, tame stuff. There are a pair of cargo areas because the engine is in the middle. Adding up the 5.3-cubic-foot front and 14.8-cubic-foot rear trunks gives you 20.1 cubic feet of cargo room, better than a midsize sedan. And according to McLaren, you can fit a golf bag or a pair of skis in the back.

Which GT does Edmunds recommend?

The GT only comes in one trim level and we recommend it if you want to go real fast, but in a comfortable way. There is, however, a long, long list of options and personalized specification choices that McLaren offers GT buyers.

McLaren GT models

The two-seat McLaren GT comes in a single trim, though you can make it your own via a wide range of paint colors, wheel finishes and interior designs. All GTs use the same engine, a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that makes 612 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. It sends power to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Standard features include:

2020 McLaren GT 2dr Coupe (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 7AM)

The McLaren GT provided supercar thrills in a package that can be a daily driver. I have used the car to go to the grocery store, runs to the mall, and commuting to work. Minor things like is that it still is quite low but can get over most bumps and ramps okay and have to make sure long rear clears corners in parking lots. Finding a parking spot that you can be assured to get in and out …

McLaren GT vs. Aston Martin DB11

The Aston Martin DB11 is the more sophisticated alternative to the McLaren, with its debonair styling and aura trending more toward luxury than the GT's performance-oriented roots. The DB11 also offers an extra set of seats and V8 and V12 engine options, but the GT will easily outpace it.

McLaren GT vs. Bentley Continental GT

If the GT is a performance car masquerading as a touring car, the Bentley Continental GT skews fully into touring and comfort. Its fanciful interior and composed nature provide a stark contrast to the GT's mania, and though you won't wring the same performance out of the Continental GT, it allows you to enjoy the journey in a way the McLaren cannot.

McLaren GT vs. Porsche 911

The Porsche 911 Turbo S, like the GT, has the soul of a sports car while serving wonderfully as a long-distance grand tourer. It has plenty of power on tap but chews up miles in between bursts of acceleration with comfort and confidence. The 911 Turbo S offers a pair of tiny rear jump seats, though those will only be good for holding cargo, and even with that factored in, the GT offers greater cargo capacity for a long road trip.
