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.

4. Safety
The new McLaren GT comes with essential safety features to assist the driver in tackling all kinds of driving conditions.
