Here are five unique highlights that set the McLaren 675LT apart:

  1. Exclusivity: With just 500 units produced, the 675LT Coupé is a collector’s gem. The MSO (McLaren Special Operations) Carbon Fibre Package on this model further enhances its uniqueness.
  2. Carbon Fibre Marvel: From the MonoCell chassis weighing just 75kg to the extensive use of carbon fiber on the body panels and aero elements, the 675LT is a featherweight at 1,230kg (dry weight).
  3. Track-Optimized Aerodynamics: The ‘LT’ stands for Longtail, referencing the legendary McLaren F1 GT. The extended rear deck, active rear wing, and aggressive aero elements provide 40% more downforce than the McLaren 650S on which this car is based.
  4. Insane Power-to-Weight Ratio: The 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivers 666hp and 700Nm, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 541hp/tonne, rivaling some hypercars.
  5. Lightweight Wheels: The 675LT features lightweight 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels. Each wheel is 800g lighter than the ones on the McLaren P1, further reducing unsprung mass, and thereby improving handling.

Design & Styling

The McLaren 675LT’s design combines aggression with functional aerodynamics. The front features a prominent splitter and large air vents that scream performance. Its sharp, P1-inspired headlights add to its menacing presence.
