The McLaren GT may bear initials that stand for “grand tourer,” but this isn’t a typical high-speed cruiser like other cars to wear the badge, such as the Bentley Continental GT. Instead, the McLaren retains the company’s tried-and-true mid-mounted twin-turbocharged V-8 setup and serves as a comfort-oriented alternative to the brand’s hardcore supercars. While McLaren did give the GT a more spacious cabin and extra cargo room, it eschews the cushy approach of most grand tourers for a more athletic demeanor, a low-slung body, and a focus on performance. The McLaren GT’s 4.0-liter V-8 is a detuned version of the engine found in the now-discontinued 720S but still produces a potent 612 horsepower. In our testing, the GT shot to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and blasted through the quarter-mile in 10.7 seconds at 133 mph. While rivals like the Continental GT and Aston Martin DB12 are tuned to be plush cruisers, the GT refuses to give up its McLaren DNA, making it a more compromised take on the traditional grand tourer. But with the British automaker so far holding out on joining the super-SUV party, the GT remains the best option for a daily-drivable car bearing the McLaren name.
