New 2020 McLaren GT Burnished Copper Introduce https://youtu.be/4voLZ237U8o
McLaren has done it again. When it comes to redefining expectations, the British supercar brand stands as one of the best innovators in the entire industry, and with the arrival of the McLaren GT, it’s safe to say that McLaren’s reputation in this regard remains intact. The GT is, for all intents and purposes, a supercar wearing a grand tourer’s body. It’s more powerful than the McLaren 570GT, and it has more functional trunk space than an actual sedan. When’s the last time you saw a performance car with those credentials? As is often the case with debuts as important as this, McLaren is now offering us a chance to build our own GTs the way we want it to look through the model’s own online configurator. Obviously, we’re not going to let this opportunity pass us by, even if we’re not actually buying one. The real McLaren GT, after all, starts at $210,000. It’s hard to find that kind of scratch these days so we’ll settle for what we can actually work with
was tempted to go for the Luxe option, but I ultimately went with the Pioneer option because of its promise of a sportier-looking cabin. Mind you, the features detailed by McLaren comes with one small difference between the Pioneer and Luxe option: the material used on the headliner. It’s Alcantara in the Pioneer option and Softgrain Aniline leather in the Luxe option. You can go with either of these two, and you wouldn’t be wrong.
Interestingly, this color looks like the same color McLaren used on all the glam and press photos of the GT. Nice conditioning trick there, McLaren, but I chose Burnished Copper because I liked how it embraces the GT’s identity as a grand tourer with supercar chops. The color doesn’t veer too far away from one identity at the expense of the other. There’s an aesthetic balance there that brings out the GT’s multi-layered personality. Sign me up there.
Next up are the wheels. There are two options available - seven-spoke cast alloys and 15-spoke forged alloys — that really are just matters of taste and preference. Personally, I like to have busy-looking wheels, so I chose the 15-spoke forged alloys with a gloss black diamond cut.
