The T20 is the first car in the Grand Theft Auto series to be directly based on a [[wp:McLaren Automotive|McLaren]] vehicle, unlike the [[Pegassi]] [[Vacca]], [[Ocelot]] [[F620]], and [[Grotti]] [[Turismo R]], which took various design influences from a few McLaren vehicles. The T20 is based on the [[wp:McLaren P1|McLaren P1]], for the general design, front bumper, side skirts, roof snorkel (which acts as an air intake to help the engine breathe), and door panels; however, the T20 lacks the P1's characteristic McLaren logo-shaped bonnet vents and instead gains a bonnet similar to that of the [[wp:Saleen S5S Raptor|Saleen S5S Raptor]]. Also, the T20 lacks the P1's LTR ducts that would have been placed in front of each of the front wheels. [http://media.caranddriver.com/images/14q1/562747/2014-mclaren-p1-test-review-car-and-driver-photo-580034-s-original.jpg Like with some real-life McLaren P1s], the T20's door panels are colored the same as the car's body instead of having a part of it in carbon fiber. The headlights are similar to those of the [http://www.peugeot.com/en/design/concept-cars/peugeot-onyx-car Peugeot Onyx], albeit with added turn signals. The side profile appears to be inspired by P1 predecessor [[wp:McLaren F1|McLaren F1]].
The overall design of the T20 is heavily based on the [[wp:McLaren P1|McLaren P1]], including the curvature of the bonnet, the greenhouse area, side skirts, rear lights and fascia, and active rear wing. The car features a modification that adds a large intake on the hood, intakes on the roof, and splitters on the front and sides. A large carbon fiber element composites as a grille at the front of the car. The rear lights appear to be a combination of the McLaren P1, [[wp:McLaren 570S|McLaren 570S]], and [[wp:Rimac Concept One|Rimac Concept One]]. Unlike its primary inspiration, the T20 features two circular exhausts as opposed to a single center-mounted trapezoidal exhaust.

The hood resembles a combination of both the [http://tushek-spigel.com/ts-600 Tushek 600] and [[wp:Saleen S5S Raptor|Saleen S5S Raptor]], as well as the side intakes and front grille area. The headlight arrangement and positioning are both similar to that of the TS600S, while the headlights are designed after the [http://www.peugeot.com/en/design/concept-cars/peugeot-onyx-car Peugeot Onyx] and [http://falconf7.com/ Falcon F7].

The car appears to feature butterfly doors, although at a closer glance, they actually open more like the scissor doors of the [[wp:Lamborghini Aventador|Lamborghini Aventador]]. This car is also the first vehicle in the entire Grand Theft Auto series to have a dynamic rear wing, automatically raising at around 10 mph (16 km/h), according to the interior's speedometer, and having different modes for driving, braking, and idling.

Judging from its design and primary design influences, the T20 is a hybrid supercar, much like its primary real-life counterpart. It may sport a turbocharged V8 engine mated to an electric motor that uses [[wp:Kinetic energy recovery system|KERS]] (kinetic energy recovery system), unlike the real-life McLaren P1, which uses [[wp:Drag reduction system|DRS]] (drag reduction system). Being a hybrid supercar, no power is lost during gear shifts.
The T20 has impressive acceleration, with a 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 3 seconds, along with a high top speed of 220 mph (354 km/h), considerably faster than the real-life McLaren P1. The car's nippy handling allows for smooth lane-to-lane transition on highways, but is a threat in busy traffic, since the handling can sometimes become irresponsive. New to the series, a dynamic rear wing is fitted into the car, activating once speed is increased, and will fold back to reflect air resistance upwards, not only to prevent the car from being "springed" up and potentially losing control, but also helping the air flow smoothly above the car. When braking, the spoiler folds down to stop the car from jaunting forwards and potentially spinning out, as well as increasing the surface area hit by the air, which further increases the rate of deceleration.
 
The car's engine is apparently a powerful, high-revolution V8, with 24 valves. This V8 engine has been fitted with two turbochargers and is mated to an electric motor, much like the real-life McLaren P1. An aluminum cover surrounds the engine to conduct heat, which would normally have been a potential threat with the engine so close to the cover. A glass cover appears directly above the engine's manifolds.
 
Braking is very responsive thanks to the dynamic rear wing and the AWD system of the car, which also helps it pick up speed after stopping, in almost a moment.

== Trivia ==
* The T20 is the fourth hybrid supercar in the Grand Theft Auto series, following the [[Osiris]], [[Zentorno]], and Turismo R.
* The T20's name is likely a parody of the P1's, while also referencing the English alphabet, as "T" is the 20th letter.
* The T20 is the fourth hybrid supercar in the Grand Theft Auto series, following the Osiris, [[Zentorno]], and Turismo R.
* The T20, priced at $2,200,000, is currently the most expensive vehicle in GTA Online, topping the Osiris' $1,950,000. It also has the highest insurance cost in GTA Online, at $27,500.
** This price tag of $2,200,000 is even higher than the real-life McLaren P1's normal price tag of $1.15 million. However, some P1's have been sold at $2,290,000, similar to the T20's price tag.
* The T20 is the first car in the Grand Theft Auto series with an active rear wing. It activates when the car is traveling at high speed.
** However, this could already be simulated with cars in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] via the ''Improved Vehicle Features'' (ImVehFt) CLEO [[Modifications|mod]].
* The T20 and [[Cheetah]] are the fourth fastest cars in GTA V, with a top speed of 220 mph (354 km/h); they only fall behind the Osiris' 230 mph (370 km/h), [[Entity XF]]'s 240 mph (386 km/h), and [[Adder]]'s 250 mph (403 km/h).
