McLaren has announced the **GTS, a lightweight supercar that will replace the GT. The mid-spec model is equipped with 4The 0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine has a maximum output of 635 hp, an increase of 15 hp. The vehicle is lightweight, the weight of the vehicle is only 1520 kg, and the power-to-weight ratio reaches 418 horsepower tons, which is the highest in the same class. The chassis comes standard with intelligent adaptive suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes, and **orders for the GTS begin in 2024.

*The GTS retains McLaren's core design, including a lightweight carbon fibre construction centred around a monocoque chassis and exceptional driving dynamics, while providing more visual power. While the elegant lines of the GT's exterior are still the basis for the aerodynamic package and silhouette, the GTS is designed with more confidence. The distinctive "hammerhead" front bumper shape has also been updated, and the air intakes have been given a new shape. The wider air intake also increases the amount of air delivered to the radiator, improving functionality. The rear fender features a new air intake that corresponds to the shoulder.

The sprite color has also been updated to include Mantis Green, Tanzanite Blue, and Ice White. In addition, the lava gray sprite color is also a new color exclusive to GTS. This metallic color contains red glitter that catches the light and shimmers, creating a unique look that is different from other grays. Other additions include 10-spoke "Turbine" lightweight forged alloy wheels, available in Silver, Glossy Black, Diamond-Cut Glossy Black and ORUM. Both designs can be combined with a new optional titanium wheel locking bolt that is 35% lighter than standard bolts, reducing unsprung weight.

Built on the carbon fibre monocoque Monocell II-T, the all-new McLaren GTS delivers the strength, ultra-light construction and stiffness required of a supercar. The GTS is structured with a number of weight-saving solutions, making it the lightest car in its class, weighing just 1,520 kg and boasting a class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 418 PST.

4 of the carryingThe 0-liter M840TE V8 twin-turbo engine has a maximum output of 635 PS at 7,500 rpm. With a more aggressive combustion stroke and improved ignition timing, the 15ps have been increased. The GTS comes standard with Launch Control, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3In 2 seconds, it accelerates from 0 to 200 km/h in just 89 seconds. The top speed reached an overwhelming speed of 326 km/h.

The drivetrain is equipped with a 7-speed SSG gearbox, which allows for smooth, seamless and fast gear changes in the default comfort mode at start-up, allowing for easy and light acceleration. There are also two driving modes: Sport and Track, which can be selected from the Active Dynamics panel. Sport mode enhances drama and tension, and instant ignition cut-off technology allows for quicker, more aggressive gear changes. Track mode maximizes transmission performance while minimizing torque loss between shifts. In either mode, the transmission can be manually controlled using the paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

Electro-hydraulic steering, adaptive damping suspension with active damping control, and powerful carbon-ceramic braking are all unique to the GTS. The lightweight aluminium double wishbone suspension is fitted with continuously variable twin-valve Monroe hydraulic dampers with Active Damping Control (McLaren's variable damper technology) and the suspension characteristics can be changed via three active dynamic modes: Comfort, Sport and Track.

The GTS is not limited to sports driving, but also emphasizes comfortable driving on urban roads. Thanks to the spacious glass tailgate, glass-covered C-pillar and large rear triangular window, the front view is good, as well as the rear view. With the vehicle lift function, the ground clearance can be increased from 110 mm to 130 mm. Thanks to the GTS's enhanced vehicle lift system, the front of the car can be raised and lowered in just 4 seconds, more than doubling the speed.

The brake discs of the McLaren GTS are 390mm at the front and 380mm at the rear, all made of carbon ceramic. The braking system uses lightweight aluminium calipers with 6 pistons (4 pistons at the rear) that can be stopped in 32 metres at speeds of 100 km/h.

The interior features polished aluminium switches and controllers. The standard GTS comes with Nappa leather seats and a leather steering wheel. The on-board system is equipped with 10The 25-inch digital display clearly displays important driving information such as speed, gear, engine speed and more. **There's also a 7-inch vertical center display, which also supports satellite navigation and real-time traffic information.

In terms of space, the rear carbon fiber superstructure is integrated into the monocoque chassis, creating a very convenient and spacious luggage space behind the passenger compartment with a volume of 420 liters. In addition, there is 150 litres of luggage space at the front. With a total volume of 570 litres, the McLaren GTS is the most practical supercar on the market today.
