A glance at the interior of the new model reveals a cosseting
space designed to delight on longer journeys,
but with all the essentials for focused, high performance
driving; the seating position, location of controls
and forward visibility are as important here as
they are in any McLaren. The streamlined, electrically
adjusted and heated seats, which are unique to the
McLaren GT, have been engineered to meet the requirements
of Grand Touring, optimised for long-distance
comfort, with the perfect amount of support in
combination with superb lateral control.
As a first for McLaren, the new GT features storage
space in both the front and rear of the vehicle, meaning
it has the ability to easily house a golf bag or two
pairs of 185cm skis and boots as well as luggage, plus a
further 150 litres of storage at the front, enabling the
new McLaren GT to accommodate a total of 570 litres.
The launch event also coincided with the arrival of
McLaren’s first bespoke luggage collection, displayed
for the first time in Australia at this exclusive event.
Designed especially for the McLaren GT by McLaren
Special Operations, GT Luggage Set conforms to the
brand’s highest’s standards of engineering, quality and
exclusivity, and consists of four pieces, the garment
case, the weekend bag, the cabin bag and the full-size
golf bag.
It was a wonderful evening enjoyed by all.
