The McLaren McL 6GT is an upcoming sports car developed by McLaren Automotive, set to enter production in 2028. It was first unveiled as a prototype on 14 August 2026.
Overview
The McL 6GT draws inspiration from the M6GT originally built in the 1960s.[1] Its production version is set to be positioned between McLaren's core vehicles and the more exclusive "Ultimate Series" lineup, under a new category alongside existing models.[2]
The McL 6GT's exterior design differs from existing McLaren models, adopting design forms and elements taken from the M6GT, such as the "racing loop" taillights. Its interior features a digital instrument cluster and aluminum physical controls.
Specifications
While technical specifications remain largely unannounced, McLaren has announced that the production version of the McL 6GT will feature a V8 engine, rear wheel drive drivetrain and a six-speed manual transmission, making it the first McLaren since the F1 to feature a manual transmission.[3]
