THE MCLAREN 675LT
Experience the raw adrenaline of the
McLaren 675LT, the lightest, most driverfocused,
most exclusive series-production
McLaren supercar ever built.
The 1997 McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ was the
ultimate evolution of the Le Mans-winning
F1 GTR. Almost two decades on, the
limited-edition 675LT follows its
uncompromising ethos to create a visceral
driving experience of unique intensity.
More power, less weight, more precision
– nothing has escaped our attention in
the quest for perfection on both road
and track. The McLaren 675LT will only be
available as a coupé, reflecting its focused
nature, and just 500 will be produced.
Performance is similarly striking. The reengineered
M838TL V8 twin-turbocharged
engine produces 675PS (666bhp) and
700Nm (516lb ft) – increases of 25PS (25bhp)
and 22Nm (16lb ft) – and the seven-speed
dual-clutch gearbox is now twice as fast.
The carbon fiber MonoCell provides the
675LT with an unrivaled combination of
lightness, safety and stiffness, in common
with all models in the McLaren Super Series.
But an obsessive weight-saving strategy
unlocks a further 100kg reduction
compared with the 650S. From lightweight
carbon fiber racing seats to a 1mm thinner
windscreen, no opportunity to save weight
has been overlooked.
Ultra lightweight forged alloy wheels
and Pirelli P-ZERO Trofeo R tires, carbon
ceramic brakes and an uprated suspension
system that embraces technology from the
McLaren P1 also contribute to the
radical specification.
