Frequently asked questions about McLaren GT

How does GT compare to 720S?
Different priorities. GT is more refined for daily use with better cargo capacity. 720S is faster (710 vs 612 horsepower) and more aggressive sport tuning. Both share fundamental McLaren engineering. GT is the daily-driver McLaren; 720S is the focused supercar.
How much does a GT cost?
Used pricing: $130,000-$200,000+. Original MSRP was around $200,000. The GT provides accessible McLaren ownership at lower price point than 720S.
Is the GT really practical?
Relatively. The rear cargo area under the engine cover provides 14.4 cubic feet of cargo space (significant for a mid-engine supercar). The chassis is tuned for daily comfort. Some practical compromises remain (low ride height, wide body), but the GT is the most daily-livable McLaren.
Why was GT discontinued?
McLaren product line rationalization. The GT was a relatively niche product positioned between Sports Series and Super Series. Sales were modest. McLaren consolidated lineup with the Artura (hybrid V6) replacing both Sports Series and the GT.
Is the GT reliable?
Generally yes. The 4.0L twin-turbo V8 has been reliable. Common issues are typical for McLarens: occasional electronic concerns and various age-related items. Maintenance is expensive due to specialty parts.
