Stage 1 tuning is an excellent option for McLaren GTS owners looking to achieve stronger performance while retaining the vehicle’s standard hardware.
McLaren GTS Stage 2 Tuning
Stage 2 tuning for the McLaren GTS takes performance further by combining ECU calibration with suitable supporting hardware upgrades.
With the correct modifications and setup, Stage 2 tuning can increase output to approximately 740 BHP and 800 Nm of torque.
Supporting modifications may include:
- Performance intake systems
- Upgraded intercooling and cooling components where required
- Performance exhaust components
