McLaren Dubai has announced the delivery of the Middle East’s First McLaren GTS, the replacement for the McLaren GT.
Making its debut on the roads of the region 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.
The first owner to take delivery in the region is UAE-based businessman and supercar enthusiast Mr. Sunil Meerasa, who received his GTS in the striking Ventura Orange.
Commenting on being the first in the region to own one, Meerasa said: “To me, McLaren is a combination of performance, heritage, innovation and exclusivity, which is why I’m so happy to get the keys to my new McLaren. I chose the GTS for its performance, luxury interior features, and sleek exterior design, and I love the bright and eye-catching Ventura Orange colour, it really makes the car stand out on the road! As a luxury grand touring supercar, the GTS truly balances comfort and sportiness, and I really enjoy the driving experience.”
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.
The power of the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine in the GTS has been elevated to 635PS at 7,500rpm, and at just 1,520kg the GTS is the lightest car in its class, with a segment best power-to-weight ratio of 418PS per-tonne. 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).
