2024 McLaren GTS Is an Almost New Kind of British Supercar, It's Here to Kill the GT
No matter how you look at it, the new McLaren GTS will fill the roads of our world from 2024 with the roar of a more powerful engine, the beauty of more carefully crafted lines, but the same sporty elegance we're used to seeing from the guys making these cars.
The GTS was envisioned by McLaren as a replacement for the GT, but that doesn't mean many of the elements that have made that car a hit won't make their way into the new interpretation. And some of those elements have been significantly upgraded, too.
We'll start with the chassis, which is your usual McLaren-made carbon fiber monocoque piece - MonoCell II-T is what McLaren calls it. This part of the car seems to have been carried over from the GT in full, with little to no modifications.
The body that was placed on top of the chassis may appear at first look the same as on the GT, and that's understandable because many of the lines used on that one have been carried over to the GTS. After all, why mess with perfection? But there are places on the car where some changes have been made.
At the front, for instance, we now get a lower bumper section featuring more pronounced (and also wider) air intakes. At the opposite end, the car's behind was treated to taller functional air scoops, a large rear diffuser, and restyled dual exhausts.
In the usual places on the car's body new and larger badges stating the model's new name can be seen, placed strategically to compete for attention with the exhaust, mirror caps, and windows surround in gloss black finish.
You might have noticed how the changes made both at the front and rear have been generally designed to allow more air into the engine area. That's because the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 that moves the GTS is a bit punchier than the one fitted on the GT.
More specifically, through increased crankshaft torque, more aggressive combustion phasing, and revised ignition ti..
