2022 McLaren GT or 2022 Porsche 911 GTS: Which One is the Better Grand Tourer?

The 2022 McLaren GT versus 2022 Porsche 911 GTS comparison is one of the most straightforward comparisons ever. Right off the bat, the 2022 McLaren GT edges past the 2022 Porsche 911 GTS with its 612-horsepower 4.0L V8. Its super lightweight bespoke Monocell-II-T carbon fiber chassis with a kerb weight of just 3,373 lbs allows it to launch from 0-60 miles per hour in a mere 3.2 seconds while reaching a top speed of 204 miles an hour. On the flip side, the Porsche 911 GTS’ smaller engine and weight make it 0.7 seconds slower, and its top speed is capped at 193 mph. Blistering performance aside, the McLaren GT reimagines the GT breed of vehicles with its pioneering design, which offers an engaging yet comfortable ride and surprisingly generous luggage space.
