2020 McLaren GT is a striking sports car

Less outrageous than other McLarens, the GT might be the British automaker's prettiest offering yet.

Steven Ewing spent his childhood reading car magazines, making his career as an automotive journalist an absolute dream job. After getting his foot in the door at Automobile while he was still a teenager, Ewing found homes on the mastheads at Winding Road magazine, Autoblog and Motor1.com before joining the CNET team in 2018. He has also served on the World Car Awards jury. Ewing grew up ingrained in the car culture of Detroit -- the Motor City -- before eventually moving to Los Angeles. In his free time, Ewing loves to cook, binge trash TV and play the drums.

"GT" stands for "grand tourer," meaning this is intended to be a kinder, gentler McLaren.

There's a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 mounted in the middle of the chassis.

The 15-spoke, 20-inch wheels look massive on this car.

The ultra-slim taillights are super cool, though.
