McLaren launched the newly updated GTS not even a month ago in the UAE within McLaren Abu Dhabi’s newly launched state-of-the-art service center. And now, McLaren Dubai, the official Retail Partner of McLaren Automotive, has announced the delivery of the first McLaren GTS in the Middle East. UAE-based businessman and supercar enthusiast Mr Sunil Meerasa is the first owner to take delivery of the McLaren GTS in the region, commissioning his GTS in striking Ventura Orange. Thrilled to be the first in the Middle East to receive his brand-new McLaren, Mr Sunil said, “To me, McLaren is a combination of performance, heritage, innovation and exclusivity, which is why I’m so happy to get the keys to my new McLaren. I chose the GTS for its performance, luxury interior features, and the sleek exterior design, and I love the bright and eye-catching Ventura Orange colour, it really makes the car stand out on the road! As a luxury grand touring supercar, the GTS truly balances comfort and sportiness, and I really enjoy the driving experience.” The new McLaren GTS now boasts increased performance figures compared to its predecessor, the GT, with the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine now putting out 626hp and a 0-100kph sprint time of just 3.2 seconds. Deliveries for the new McLaren GTS in the Middle East are now underway. Interested customers can reach out to their nearest McLaren dealership for more information on the GTS or other McLaren supercars.
