The newest McLaren, the 675LT was officially launched in Hong Kong on the 24 July, 2015. The track-focused car’s distinct points include high speed performance, lightweight, optimised aerodynamics, and increased power making it the strongest, fastest, lightest model in the McLaren Super Series – only 500 are available worldwide.

Belonging to the Super series, the McLaren 675LT is inspired by the McLaren F1 GTR “Long Tail”, the car which dominated the Le Mans 24 Hour race in 1997. The newly introduced car follows its predecessor in design and looks to provide the driver with an incredible driving experience of unique intensity.

McLaren 675LT enhanced bodywork styling enables an increase of 40% in downforce compared to other cars in the series; higher downforce enables higher speeds and better control. Compared to the McLaren 650S, the 675LT is 100kg lighter – weighing at 1,230 kg. The increased 19 degree air intakes enabling better cooling while the use of a magnesium roll cage and enhanced carbon fibre allows minimised weight and maximised rigidity. The 675LT can accelerate to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, 200 km/h (120mph) in 7.9 seconds, before reaching a top speed to be 330 km/h (205mph).

The McLaren 675LT is the racecar you can bring home, legal for street driving. Unfortunately for those with a spare $5.8m in your pocket it’s already sold out in Hong Kong.
