The first owner to take delivery in the region is UAE-based businessman and supercar enthusiast Mr. Sunil Meerasa, who received his GTS in the 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.”
Aligned with the inherent practicality of the GTS is an interior designed to blend the car’s level of performance with a refined and luxurious space. It is a comfortable cabin for long distance journeys, while also providing a platform from which the driver can take full advantage of the car’s outstanding dynamic capabilities.

A launch-control function is standard; when enabled, the GTS hits 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in only 3.2 seconds and 0-200km/h (0-124mph) in just 8.9 seconds.
