Last weekend, McLaren New Forest brought the thrill of supercar performance to the heart of Bradford-on-Avon, hosting an exclusive test drive experience at the renowned Five Zeros Supercar Barn. The event featured three of McLaren’s most exciting models: the McLaren GTS, 750S, and Artura Spider, each offering a unique blend of innovation, performance, and design.
A Perfect Setting for Supercar Excellence
Nestled in the picturesque Wiltshire countryside, Five Zeros Supercar Barn was the perfect setting for our cars. This state-of-the-art facility combines a supercar exhibition space with a stylish diner and event venue, showcasing an enviable collection of marques including Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Koenigsegg, and Porsche. Against this backdrop, the McLarens looked perfectly at home, drawing admiration from enthusiasts and guests alike.
Guests who pre-booked their test drives were treated to an unforgettable experience, taking to the scenic roads surrounding Bath. With sweeping bends, open straights, and breathtaking views, the route provided the perfect environment to explore the capabilities of each McLaren.
McLaren GTS – Grand Touring, Redefined
The McLaren GTS is the evolution of the GT, blending everyday usability with the heart of a supercar. Powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 635PS, the GTS accelerates from 0–62mph in just 3.2 seconds. With a lightweight carbon fibre chassis and a refined, spacious interior, it offers both thrilling performance and long-distance comfort. Ideal for those who want supercar excitement without compromising on practicality.
McLaren 750S – The Pinnacle of Performance
The 750S is McLaren’s lightest and most powerful series-production model to date. Building on the legacy of the 720S, it features a re-engineered 4.0-litre V8 engine delivering 750PS and 800Nm of torque. With a dry weight of just 1,277kg, it boasts a class-leading power-to-weight ratio. The 750S sprints from 0–62mph in a blistering 2.8 seconds, offering razor-sharp handling, enhanced aerodynamics, and a driver-focused cockpit. It’s the ultimate expression of McLaren’s motorsport DNA.
McLaren Artura Spider – Electrifying Innovation
The Artura Spider is McLaren’s first-ever convertible hybrid supercar, combining open-top exhilaration with cutting-edge technology. Its 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine is paired with an electric motor, producing a combined 700PS. With an electric-only range of up to 21 miles, it offers silent city driving and explosive performance on demand. The retractable hardtop opens in just 11 seconds, even while moving at speeds up to 31mph. Agile, efficient, and beautifully engineered, the Artura Spider represents the future of performance.
