When the McLaren GT broke cover in 2019, the goal was to redefine the predominant front-engined Grand Touring category by combining mid-engine supercar performance with everyday drivability and long-haul comfort. Built around the brand’s signature carbon fibre MonoCell II-T chassis, the long-legged GT weighs significantly less (~3,400 pounds) than traditional competitors while offering increased luggage capacity (20 cubic feet), a quieter, more refined cabin with high-end Nappa leather, better sound insulation, and more compliant ride quality. There's enough room to accommodate a set of golf clubs or skis behind the rear seats.
As for performance, the M840TE 4.0-liter twin turbo V8 produces 612 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, enabling a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph, delivered through McLaren’s seamless SS G 7-speed dual clutch transmission. Active dampers and hydraulic steering preserve the brand’s trademark driver engagement while expanding usability for daily commuting or cross-country travel.
This specific example from 2021 stands out thanks to its highly optioned configuration, totaling $21,525 in factory options. Highlights include the Carbon Fiber Interior Pack, Premium Pack, 15-Spoke Gloss Black Diamond Cut Wheels, Electrochromic “smart” glass roof, Vintage Tan leather upholstery with matching luggage bay, and a 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system. Underneath the professionally installed satin-stealth PPF, the original Namaka Blue paint remains preserved, with the neon-green accents serving as a great contrast. The stealthy matte finish highlights the elegant lines of the GT and its longer proportions compared to other mid-engined models from the British marque.
The CarFax report shows no accidents or damage, with only two owners and service history logged across California, New Jersey, and Kansas. A recent service at McLaren New Jersey at 10,176 miles involved a full electronic systems check and routine inspection, confirming the car’s mechanical health and readiness for use.
As McLaren continues to evolve toward hybrid powertrains, the GT has gained appreciation for its relative mechanical purity, hydraulic steering, lightweight structure, and long-distance comfort. This exquisite example with an extensive list of factory options, clean history, and low mileage, represents an especially compelling ownership opportunity for collectors.
