McLaren Automotive unveiled the new McLaren GTS for the first time in the Middle East at an event hosted in the state-of-the-art new McLaren Abu Dhabi Service Centre.
The event showcased the latest addition to the McLaren supercar family to an exclusive group of VIP guests, McLaren owners, and media personalities.
Prior to the launch, the new McLaren GTS was captured in a stunning photoshoot at Atlantis the Royal, one of the world’s most exclusive ultra-luxury hotels – a fitting location for an exceptional luxury supercar.
Retaining the core McLaren attractions of beautiful yet functional design, class-leading power-to-weight ratio – enabled by lightweight carbon fibre construction centred on a unique monocoque chassis – and unmatched driving dynamics, the new GTS also offers an increased choice of exterior and interior specification compared to its predecessor.
The super-lightweight GTS is engineered to delight drivers who demand the dynamic excellence and driving excitement of a McLaren, and the ride comfort, refinement and luggage space suited to routine drives and extended journeys.
Aligned with the inherent practicality of the GTS is an interior designed to blend the car’s level of performance with a refined and luxurious space. It is a comfortable cabin for long distance journeys, while also providing a platform from which the driver can take full advantage of the car’s outstanding dynamic capabilities.
“We are thrilled to introduce the stunning McLaren GTS to customers in the Middle East for the first time. Offering an unrivalled blend of McLaren driving dynamics and performance alongside superior refinement and practicality, the GTS represents the best of both worlds – whether you want a true supercar driving experience, or to relax on a longer journey with luggage for a weekend away. In a region with some of the most spectacular driving roads to be found anywhere in the world, we’re sure that the GTS will deliver what our customers in the Middle East have come to expect from McLaren – an exceptional driving experience, wherever they’re going.’’ Robert Holtshausen, Market Director, Middle East & Africa.
At just 1,520kg (DIN) the GTS is the lightest car in its class and has a segment best power-to-weight ratio of 418PS per-tonne. The power of the V8 M840TE 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged engine has been elevated to 635PS at 7,500rpm, the additional 15PS coming from increased crankshaft torque enabled by more aggressive combustion phasing and revised ignition timing. A launch-control function is standard; when enabled, the GTS hits 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in only 3.2 seconds and 0-200km/h (0-124mph) in just 8.9 seconds. The maximum speed of the GTS is 326km/h (203mph).
The McLaren GTS comes with a standard three-year vehicle warranty with unlimited mileage, as well as a three-year paint warranty and a ten-year anti-perforation warranty. The GTS is eligible for the McLaren Extended Warranty, which can be purchased in 12- or 24-month periods up to a total warranty of 12 years. Three years of vehicle servicing is included with the McLaren Service Plan. - TradeArabia News Service
