The entry of supercar and sports car companies into the SUV business was once considered a rather absurd idea. When Lamborghini launched the Urus model as the pioneer of this trend, it reached record sales figures. Aston Martin recently introduced the DBX model. Even SUV models of companies such as Ferrari and Bugatti were introduced. Many manufacturers are now trying to grab a slice of their SUV cake. McLaren, who has long resisted, also enters this market. SUV surprise from McLaren McLaren made an unexpected move and announced the new SUV vehicle with a promotional image featuring an SUV in the shadows. The vehicle’s name was McLaren GTX. This shows that the vehicle will be an off-road version of the McLaren GT with a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. In GTX, this engine will produce 600 horsepower and provide 766 Nm of torque. This means 58 horsepower and about 30 Nm more power than Aston Martin DBX. Although there is no explanation for the vehicle’s speed performance, it would be realistic to expect the GT to be slower than the 0-100 km acceleration of 3.1 seconds and the GT model not to reach 330 km / h. McLaren lines are preserved If we look at it in terms of style, even though the iconic headlights of the vehicle where GTX is a McLaren are evident, the design lines of the SUV are nothing like the company produces as far as we can see. This is quite normal, SUVs are quite different from sports cars. Yet the luggage spoiler gives the GTX a sporty look. The luxurious interior trims on the McLaren GT, the center console and the 7-inch touchscreen, which seem to be standing in the air, are expected to be included in the new model. Deliveries of the McLaren GTX will begin on April 1, 2021. The price of the vehicle is expected to be higher than the price of the McLaren GT. That vehicle starts at $ 210,000. We hope McLaren is not joking and we can see this vehicle on the roads.
