McLaren McL 6GT manual V8 makes public debut, due in 2028

McLaren put its manual-transmission V8 McL 6GT in front of the public for the first time at the 2026 Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, which ran Oct. 29 through Nov. 2, according to Autoblog and autoevolution. Both say production is due in 2028. Autoevolution adds that a private unveiling took place during Monterey Car Week in August.

McLaren's model page describes a mid-mounted V8 paired with a six-speed manual that sends power to the rear wheels. Autoblog says no McLaren road car has had a true manual since the McLaren F1 reached the market in 1992.

Car and Driver reports that Collins said the price will be in the range of $1.5 million.

Carbon tub, manual shifter, hydraulic steering

Autoblog says the McL 6GT uses a carbon-fiber monocoque with all-carbon bodywork. Steering is hydraulically assisted, the controls are knurled machined aluminum, and the gear lever is tuned for shift feel and throw.

The design draws on the M6GT, a road car Bruce McLaren started developing in the late 1960s, and on the M6A Can-Am racer. Autoevolution says McLaren places the car beyond its core supercar line and its newly announced SUV, and calls it highly exclusive.

What McLaren hasn't said

Power, performance and weight figures are not yet known, and neither are exact US delivery dates, final specifications, trim or configuration details, or how the roughly 500 cars will be allocated.

The used 750S market runs hot

In listings we tracked through Nov. 1, 538 used McLarens across the whole brand were for sale. Three models bracket what a buyer can get today.

Only the 750S rates hot on our market temperature. Its 67 listings ask a median of $368,000, the cheapest at $305,000, and 16 of them rate as great or good deals.

One example: a 2025 750S Coupe in Mclaren Orange with 1,016 miles in San Diego, California, asks $339,995, about $24,000 under its fair value. It has been listed 10 days.

The 765LT sits at the other end. Its 39 listings, all 2021 and 2022 cars, ask a median of $775,000, and the model rates cold.

Arturas ask far less than 750S models

The Artura rates cool, with 78 listings asking a median of $185,000, and 24 of them rate as great or good deals. The cheapest Artura asks $150,000.

Asking prices for comparable Arturas held steady between June 2026 and October 2026.

A 2023 Artura in Supernova Silver with 9,300 miles in Renton, Washington, asks $155,200, about $19,500 under its fair value. It has been listed 128 days with a single cut, from $176,200 on Oct. 1. After that long with one cut, a buyer has reason to ask for a lower price still.
