Performance Specs of the 2020 McLaren GT
The 2020 McLaren delivers excellent performance with its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Paired with the 7-speed Seamless Shift Gearbox, it generates 612 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.

How is the 2020 McLaren GT different from other McLaren models?
While the McLaren GT provides the high-level performance and driving dynamics of the McLaren brand, it was specifically designed for drivers who desire the comfort and convenience of long excursions — hence the Grand Tourer (GT) name. With a length of around 4.7 meters (15.4 feet), it is longer than other McLaren models. This results in more space for the driver and passenger, as well as a generous amount of cargo space in the luggage bay.
