2028 McLaren McL 6GT Specs, Performance, and Monterey Car Week Reveal
Learn more about the 2028 McLaren McL 6GT in The Woodlands, TX
Bruce McLaren envisioned the M6GT as a roadgoing expression of Can-Am engineering, but his original project never reached series production. McLaren now carries that unfinished idea forward with the McL 6GT, a production intent supercar shaped around lightweight carbon fiber construction, V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and an authentic manual transmission. Scheduled for production in 2028, this low volume model places driver connection ahead of headline numbers. Contact McLaren Houston in TX for updates as McLaren releases further specifications.
