AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/13 Report--

McLaren's new sports car, the McLaren GT, made its debut at the Goodwood Speed Festival in 2019 and will officially debut in China on July 15, according to McLaren officials. The new McLaren GT is a GT sports car capable of long-distance driving, focusing on comfort and luxury, with a lightweight design, and the first models will be delivered by the end of 2019.

The McLaren GT is a large GT sports car that emphasizes daily driving and comfort. Its design idea refers to the McLaren Speedtail. The concise and smooth front design with the huge air intake below does not emphasize the aggression of the sports car, but is more elegant. At the same time, the shape of sickle headlights is one of the iconic elements of McLaren.

From the side, the streamlined body of the new car matches the long wheelbase design rarely seen in the middle sports car, which makes people feel more novel. The rear wheels use the largest 21-inch aluminum alloy rims in the McLaren model, and the front wheels use 20-inch aluminum alloy rims, and work with its partner Pirelli to customize the corresponding P ZERO series tires. In terms of the tail, the shape of the one-shaped taillight is lit and has great brand recognition. The bottom is a huge black rear encirclement and diffuser, with bright silver sides with a total of two exhaust, full of fighting feeling.

In terms of interior decoration, the new car as a whole still maintains the layout style of the McLaren family, but through the use of materials, more emphasis on luxury. As a large GT sports car focused on comfort, the new car interiors use a large area of Mappa leather instead of carbon fiber, as well as cashmere options. In addition, the all-in-one sports seat is specially optimized for shoulder support and is equipped with seat heating, Bowers&Wilkins audio and other comfort configurations.

It is worth mentioning that the McLaren GT provides a 420L trunk space in the rear of the car by reducing the position of the engine and exhaust system as much as possible. Of course, if there is not enough space in the trunk, a 150-liter front car is provided at the front of the car, which makes it more convenient to pick up and put some small items.

In terms of power, the McLaren GT is equipped with the latest 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine code-named M840TE, with a maximum power of 620hp and a peak torque of 630Nm. In terms of transmission, it matches the 7-speed SSG double clutch transmission. Although the car is positioned as a GT sports car, it still has an acceleration capacity of 3.2 seconds. It takes only 9 seconds for 0-200km/h, a top speed of 326km/h and a thrust-to-weight ratio of 405 horsepower per ton.

No matter from the appearance or from the interior decoration, all aspects are a new leap. At this stage, McLaren is no longer satisfied with the super market. The launch of the new GT sports car not only improves its product pedigree, but also shows that McLaren intends to expand into other market segments. Following this trend, it is not impossible for McLaren to launch SUV in the future.
