Can you imagine a McLaren GT Spyder? X-Tomi Design has already done it

The arrival of a new model in a family whose usual steps are well known lets our imagination run wild. This is exactly what has happened with the newly unveiled McLaren GT, a vehicle nobody was expecting and that has caught us by surprise. However, considering the strategy of the Woking-based company, we can guess the path its latest supercar will follow, and X-Tomi Design has been one of the first to venture a description of it. The acclaimed designer has already offered us a render of the McLaren GT Spyder, a variant about which nothing is known but which could arrive very soon.

As is usual with these versions, the aesthetic changes are limited to certain modifications at the rear and to its open-top nature. This is reflected in the supposed McLaren GT Spyder, a vehicle that manages to keep its Grand Touring character intact while accentuating it with the possibility of enjoying the open air.

At first glance, we still see that front end, more rounded than that of its siblings, which manages to soften the aggressiveness the whole car exudes. At the rear, the design is governed by that characteristic duck-tail spoiler, which completes the sportiness present in every single McLaren model.

But it is the roof that truly stands out as a novelty in this render, which now adopts two humps that become visible when it is stowed. Thanks to the possibility of removing the roof, the McLaren GT is able to adopt an even more refined and elegant look, combined with muscular and imposing lines typical of the house that gives it shelter.

Should this variant ever make its way into the production lineup of the British brand, we would not expect any mechanical differences compared with the coupé. In this way, it would continue to be a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that brings it to life, a heart that produces 620 CV and 630 Nm of torque and catapults it to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds.

For now we can only content ourselves with the X-Tomi Design render and fantasise about the creation of the McLaren GT Spyder by the British marque. However, given its track record, it would not be far-fetched to consider that sooner or later this variant of the GT will become a reality, just like future, more radical versions bearing the LT name.
