The Return of Mechanical Driving
During "Monterey Car Week", McLaren unveiled its new project – the McLaren McL 6GT. This is a historic moment for the brand, as the model brings the manual transmission back to their lineup for the first time since 1992.
"The McL 6GT is designed to highlight the art of mechanical driving, offering hydraulic steering and a true feeling behind the wheel."
Design with a Look to the Past
- Inspiration: The project draws ideas from Bruce McLaren's original M6GT.
- Construction: Lightweight carbon fiber chassis and power sent to the rear wheels.
- Details: Integrated "Racing Loop" style taillights and the iconic "Speedy Kiwi" logo.
Technical Highlights and Expectations
Although mass production is not expected until 2028, McLaren has confirmed the presence of a V8 internal combustion engine. The car is positioned above the company's current lineup, and the expected price exceeds 1 million dollars.
The interior combines modern digital instruments with classic tactile controls, such as the handcrafted gear shifter, which promises a unique mechanical experience for the driver.
