Right-sized for youngsters aged 3 to 6 years, the battery-powered McLaren GT Ride-On is based on the full-size supercar
Train up a child in the way he [or she] should go — and get her or him on a McLaren GT Ride-On battery-powered minicar.
Budding enthusiasts from 3 to 6 years old can experience their very own McLaren GT in miniature. The just-announced McLaren GT Ride-On is based on the lightest and quickest accelerating vehicle in its class, the company says. See the GT here.
The McLaren GT Ride-On is the fourth car in McLaren’s range of children’s toys. It follows the P1, 720S, and McLaren Senna.
‘’At McLaren Automotive, we aim to inspire the future generation of supercar enthusiasts,” Hayley Robinson, Merchandise, Licensing & Partnerships Manager, McLaren Automotive, said in a release.
“We’re proud to develop and encourage younger minds and seek to create the next generation of drivers, engineers, and automotive designers,’’ she said.
Functional features
The new Ride-On has an impressive list of standard features and detailed design. The little car’s working dihedral (scissor) doors make for the ultimate entrance and getaway. In addition, the trunk with a functional lid has room for junior driving essentials.
Like the real thing, the GT Ride-On has working dashboard controls including a key start. Twist the key and the car fires up with McLaren engine sounds. There also are functioning brake lights.
Youngsters can hook up their playlist through an infotainment system. It can access files from a USB device or SD card with the optional MP4 display screen.
The McLaren GT Ride-On is 42.5 inches long, 23.6 inches wide, and 16.9 inches tall. It is available in six McLaren colors of Burnished Copper, Silica White, Onyx Black, McLaren Orange, Amaranth Red, and Burton Blue.
Ride-On pricing
The McLaren GT Ride-On is sold in two rechargeable battery choices of $230 and $330. Options include an MP4 display screen and a black leather seat trimmed in red and yellow.
The GT Ride-On is available to order from select global toy retailers.
