GTS
The grand-touring McLaren — 626 hp, 570-litre combined luggage, and supercar pace · 2 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOMike Klokov / PexelsOur verdict
8.3 / 10The McLaren GTS is the evolution of the acclaimed GT, combining the brand's trademark supercar pace with genuine grand-touring usability. The 4.0L twin-turbo V8 delivers 626 hp through a 7-speed SSG gearbox, reaching 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and topping out at 326 km/h — yet the GTS also offers 570 litres of combined luggage space, a properly comfortable ride in Comfort mode, and enough refinement to cover long distances without fatigue. For UAE buyers who want a supercar they can drive to and from Dubai's weekend events without sacrificing luggage space or comfort, the GTS is a more practical proposition than the 750S or Ferrari 296 GTB. The Techflux trim adds bespoke technology packages but the Standard remains the sweet spot on value.
Who it's for — Driving enthusiasts who want genuine supercar performance but also tour long distances across the UAE and GCC, valuing practicality alongside pace — a GT in the original grand-touring sense of the word.
