2020 McLaren GT: Here’s how we’d spec it

We already have a configurator, so we created our dream GT.

The new McLaren GT supercar looks impressive and has practicality. Although we are just seeing the new car, McLaren has already set up a GT configurator so that mere mortals can indulge in their supercar shopping dreams. We don’t have to follow the most costly format. However, we can customize a new GT with just the flavor that we like. Sometimes that means sacrificing a little bit of fluff in order to fully enjoy the beast inside.

You can choose between three options when you first open the configurator. The default is standard. This option is for those who like lots of black or enjoy manually setting their seats. We’ll pass on this option as it seems counterproductive to a grand touring vehicle that emphasizes luxury and comfort. The top-of-the-line Luxe model is the most expensive. It’s loaded with power everything, plenty of Aniline leather trim and six interior layouts. Pioneer’s middle offering looks almost as good with Alcantara replacing the leather on its headliner. We’d recommend starting there.

Things move much faster when you have made a long decision. We chose Kyanos Blue, paired with seven-spoke alloys, and red brake discs, as red calipers look great on any. We also like carbon fiber so we add that to our exterior trim. Our exterior checklist is completed by the Sports Exhaust option.

Inside, the Barolo interior options swap the black for a darker shade of maroon. The optional Premium Pack adds a kick 12-speaker sound system, as well as additional creature comforts such a power-opening and closing rear gate. It also includes the Vehicle Lift feature in select markets, including the U.S.

We’d choose the vehicle tracking system and alarm upgrade from the miscellaneous choices. Our beautiful McLaren will be the envy in the neighborhood. We like the McLaren car insurance and the Luggage Retention Strap. It won’t be used – the car will continue to be on the roads after all. However, any supercar owner who is serious about their car must have a fitted cover. The owners manual is optional, but it’s an option. We’re not ready to enter the realm of the affluent aristocracy yet, even though we are tempted to choose the McLaren GT fitted luggage collection. We still enjoy Taco Bell’s occasional meals.

We don’t know how much McLaren’s configurator costs. These things may seem trivial to anyone who can afford a $210,000 car, but it shouldn’t stop us all from having some fun. What would you do to build your McLaren GT GT? Please specify your idea and let us know in the comments.
