The GT uses a modified variant of the carbon-fiber passenger cell that's currently in McLaren's Sports Series models (570S, 570GT, 600LT). Christened MonoCell II-T, the new setup adds a carbon-fiber rear-upper structure that allows the GT to incorporate a sizeable load floor underneath its rear hatch. With 14.8 cubic feet of space, the GT's cargo bay tops the Bentley Continental GT's trunk by 2.2 cubes. Factor in the McLaren's 5.3-cubic-foot frunk (i.e. front trunk) and the delta between the two British coupes widens to 7.5 cubic feet. Don’t judge the GT’s cargo area by its volume, though. Long, shallow, and lumpy, the GT’s cargo hold is less useful than the technically smaller trunks of competing grand tourers. Nevertheless, McLaren claims the GT can fit a set of golf clubs or two pairs of six-foot skis and boots with room to spare for luggage. Squeezing all this in, though, may require some Tetris-like ingenuity.
iding below the GT's cargo floor is McLaren's latest twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 (dubbed M840TE). The engine produces 612 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, which it sends to the rear wheels by way of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. With launch control engaged, McLaren claims the GT will shoot to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 203 mph. Large and rather ungainly intakes aft of the doors channel air into the engine bay to keep things cool.

Thanks to the flow of air brought in by those vents, as well as the heat-absorbing effects of the car's noise, vibration, and harshness materials, McLaren claims the cargo area floor never tops 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Impressive, given the exhaust system gets to nearly 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That said, my backpack felt quite toasty after a few hours in the GT's rear hatch. I'd think twice before putting expensive electronics or things that might melt back there.
While the GT is cosseting by McLaren standards, it's not quite as pampering as more traditional grand tourers such as the Bentley Continental GT or Aston Martin DB11. The McLaren’s footwells are narrow, its 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system is finicky and – at times – confusing to operate (it also mostly disappears when viewing it while wearing polarized sunglasses), and there’s not a single advanced safety feature onboard.
