McLaren showed off the biggest selection of its vehicles to date at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, including the company’s newest model, the McLaren 570GT.

The British manufacturer has created this two-seat, mid-engined supercar with everyday use in mind as the 570GT has a special focus on functionality and comfort, a little bit different than some of the track-only beasts known to come from its factory.

The 570GT has a redesigned shape with a fixed glass panoramic roof that creates an open cabin from the front windshield to the rear hatch window. The vehicle also comes with dihedral doors that open up to eight-way fully-adjustable leather sports seats for the driver and a passenger. The interior also features a center touchscreen to control various interfaces and a digital instrument cluster for the vehicle stats and setup.

McLaren has given the 570GT the same 3.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 engine that made its debut in the 570S coupe. This powerplant sends 562 horses to the rear wheels through a seven-speed transmission that can be adjusted with Normal, Sport, and Track presets. All of this combined with the fact that the 570GT weighs in at a light 2,976-pound thanks to a ton of carbon fiber means the supercar speeds to 62 mph from a stop in only 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of just over 200 mph.

McLaren will make the 570GT available to potential owners in late 2016.
