McLaren"s hatchback supercar. It"s the British speed merchants" most practical, least hardcore creation. And yet, built around a carbon tub, powered by a bi-turbo 3.8-litre V8 good for 562bhp, and capable of performance in the same ballpark as the legendary McLaren F1.From most angles, it looks like a dead ringer for McLaren"s other Sport Series models, the 540C and 570S. However, the GT sheds flying buttresses and a flat rear deck for a glassy hatch and extra luggage storage directly above the engine. It"s also got slightly slower steering and softer suspension than the 570S though you can select the racier handling setup as an option and McLaren fits foam-filled tyres to deaden road noise a tad.
