Do you have £259,500 in cash just waiting to be spent on an outrageously fast car? If so, the McLaren 675LT is just for you! Bringing back the ‘Longtail’ moniker as used originally on the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR, this latest car in the Super Series line has some serious heritage. It focuses on light weight, optimised aerodynamics, increased power, track-focused dynamics and driver engagement. All of which should add up to one seriously quick motor, wherever you happen to be driving.
The 675LT uses the familiar seven-speed SSG transmission found in the other Super Series models, retaining the Normal, Sport or Track modes. These settings have been recalibrated to produce more eager performance, with optimised throttle response and gearshifts up to twice as fast as previously offered. The newly developed ‘Ignition Cut’ technology is a technique adopted from Formula 1™ which sees a momentary cut of the fuel spark on gearshift. This delivers the fastest change possible, and is accompanied by a dramatic aural ‘crack’ on both upshift and downshift. Also debuting on the 675LT is an all-new Electronic Stability Control (ESC) calibration, giving the driver an even greater level of control over the throttle and brake inputs.
Production is strictly limited to 500 units globally so if you have the money, best get your order in soon!
