At 4.7m, the GTS is longer than other series production McLarens. To enhance airflow. And to accommodate new air intakes both front and rear. The result is a bold new visual signature – and increased cooling efficiency. The whole body is shaped by aerodynamics, allowing the GTS to generate 100kg of downforce for exceptional stability and driver confidence.

As ever, pioneering design can be found in each detail too. Such as the full LED Headlights with Static Adaptive Functionality. They remove the need for bulky mechanical motors by varying beam intensity according to steering angle. Or the subtle curve of the optional Electrochromic Panoramic Roof, that creates shade at the touch of a button.

All-new optional 10-Spoke Turbine Alloy Wheels are ultra-light and machine polished to near perfection before paint is applied. They're a clear demonstration of style meeting substance. In carefully calibrated harmony.

Beyond the GTS's show-stopping, elegant Dihedral Doors, you'll find a driver-focused cabin that wraps itself around you. Yet is airy and space efficient too. Everything you touch is beautifully made. And from the finest materials. Technology is advanced, and intuitive. The experience is effortless. Designed to help you make the most of every journey. The essence of usability. The huge windscreen, sweeping glazed tailgate and C-pillars provide near 360-degree visibility – and maximise natural light.

McLaren GTS also integrates the first application of the new McLaren Infotainment System II – featuring more processing power for seamless use and pin sharp clarity. Its sophisticated graphics owe more to the world of private jets than automotive standards. From its 7-inch touchscreen, you can control and tailor a whole host of technology and vehicle settings – with satellite navigation, Bluetooth streaming and digital radio at your fingertips. Innovative hidden-until-lit ambient lighting creates a subtle glow across the cockpit after dark.

Potent and immersive, there is a 1,200w Bowers and Wilkins Audio System at your disposal – with 12 speakers, including additional bass, mid-range and tweeters.

The sense of calm focus and comfort is backed up by rigorous research and development. Advanced NVH (Noise Vibration and Harshness) cancelling materials minimise road, tyre and wind noise, while allowing just the right amount of soul-stirring sound through from the engine bay.

An important element of McLaren GTS's sheer usability is its comfortable, light, minimal cockpit. And the unique mix of fine materials used to achieve its uncluttered, driver-focused ambience. Everything you touch and use is thoughtfully functional and beautifully finished. In a choice of rich, tactile leathers such as Nappa or a new Softgrain Aniline variety. Plus sporty Alcantara® and cool Knurled Aluminium. In the roomy luggage bay, there’s ultra-durable SuperFabric®. An advanced textile that’s tailor-made for the task.

At the heart of this airy, refined space you can specify optional streamlined, electrically adjusted heated seats that are unique to the GTS. Specifically engineered for long-distance comfort, they provide precisely the right amount of padding and support, combined with excellent lateral control. They clearly reflect the GTS's sheer usability – ready to comfort over long distances, or keep you securely located through high-speed corners.
