FIRST DRIVE | The McLaren GT is all about serene speed

A McLaren that wafts, surely you jest?The car takes the carbon fibre body and mid-engine concept but packages it into a more comfortable car that swallows a lot of luggage and covers great distances with a plush ride.luggage compartment that can take a pair of golf bags , and there’s also a 150compartment in the nose. Inside, the seats are more padded and the cabin bedecked in more luxurious materials than is the race-bred McLaren norm.

Yielding suspension and a traffic-friendly drivetrain allows the car to be ushered through busy urban grind without feeling like it’s always chomping at the bit for more action. In its mildest drivetrain and suspension modes the GT eases through the stop-start urban grid with an easygoing nature and a throttle that doesn’t feel snatchy.

It’s not as edgy or as powerful as a 720S but neither does it have as firm and unrelenting a ride. The proactive damping control that debuts on the McLaren GT is a more advanced active suspension system and plays a major role in making this a superb tourer and very accomplished handler. Active suspension turns the car from plush tourer to corner carver at the press of a button. Picture: SUPPLIED
