McLaren DNA - Born from Bruce McLaren’s vision of a road-going race car in the 1969 M6GT, McLaren’s grand touring legacy was reignited with the 2019 GT, a lightweight, mid-engine supercar designed for high-speed comfort. Evolving into the sharper, more powerful GTS in 2024, it brought added performance and refined usability. Now, the 2026 McLaren GTS continues that tradition, promising elevated design, enhanced dynamics, and next-level luxury for the modern grand tourer.

2026 McLaren GTS Exterior
Striking exterior design is defined by aerodynamic precision and motorsport influence. The GTS teardrop-shaped cabin optimizes airflow, while the sports exhaust with a Gloss Black finisher adds a bold sonic and visual edge paired with a standard exhaust option for a more understated finish. The exterior is accented by Gloss Black components, including the front splitter, rear diffuser, side skirts, bumper, and door mirrors. Standard 10 Twin-Spoke Forged Alloy Wheels provide a dynamic stance, with optional 10-Spoke Turbine wheels available for those seeking a more sculptural design. Black anodized brake calipers feature a crisp white McLaren logo, reinforcing its performance character. Offered in five standard paint colors with a selection of racing-inspired finishes, the GTS also features an optional Stealth Badge Pack, which includes the front and rear McLaren badges, rear model name badge, GTS side badges (if selected), and wheel center caps, further refining its purposeful and aggressive aesthetic.

Blending cutting-edge technology with minimalist sophistication, the 2026 McLaren GTS interior offers a cabin tailored for both comfort and performance. As standard, the roof is constructed from recycled carbon fibre, reinforcing the vehicle’s lightweight ethos, while customers can elevate the experience with an optional panoramic privacy-tinted glass roof or the advanced Electrochromic roof, allowing light levels to be adjusted at the touch of a button. A central 7-inch portrait touchscreen anchors the driver-focused cockpit, seamlessly integrating infotainment and vehicle controls. Distinctive to the GTS are the hidden-until-lit ambient lighting elements, exclusive to the Performance and TechLux trims, creating a sleek and immersive atmosphere. The cabin is wrapped in Black Nappa leather across the fascia, doors, seats, and upper center tunnel, complemented by a black leather steering wheel. Adding a vivid accent to the interior is the signature Papaya Start/Stop button, a bold nod to McLaren’s racing heritage.
2026 McLaren GTS Infotainment

A 7-inch portrait touchscreen serves as the command center for media, navigation, and connectivity features, including DAB digital radio or SiriusXM satellite radio in North America.

Audiophiles can opt for a 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system, while the standard McLaren 4-speaker sound system delivers crisp, immersive playback. Additional features include USB-A ports, a media player, hands-free telephony, and cruise control with a speed limiter, all curated to ensure a connected and intuitive driving experience.
