McLaren returns to a manual era with the McL 6GT, first since the F1

McLaren has unveiled the McL 6GT, a lightweight, carbon-bodied supercar that uses a six-speed manual gearbox—the first McLaren road car with a manual since the F1—debuting in near-production form at Monterey Car Week and due to go on sale in 2028 as a limited-run model. The car nods to the Can-Am-era M6A and Bruce McLaren, emphasizes tactile analogue driving with hydraulic steering, and is likely based on the outgoing 750S while signaling a new collector-focused McLaren lineup.
