2. Interior and exterior
The superlight new McLaren GT has a sleek and smooth construction. The vehicle also comes with soft-closing dihedral doors, i.e. doors that can rotate 90°, sweeping outwards and upwards at the hinge. This feature is not common among grand tourers. Another highlight is the rain sensors that automatically start the windshield wipers upon detecting rain. The ambient interior lighting also contributes to the pleasant driving experience.
