The 675LT Unleashed on the Track

The latest video from McLaren has arrived.675LTThe 675LT, which celebrated its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March, is a high-performance model based on the "650S" and developed with circuit driving in mind.

Many sports car enthusiasts will likely know that the "LT" designation originates from the "F1 GTR Longtail," which was deployed in 1997 as the ultimate evolution of the F1 GTR and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

As its name suggests, the 675LT features an "Active Longtail Airbrake" at the rear, which is 50 percent larger than that of the standard model. The video clearly shows it moving upwards when braking, extending from the body. McLaren states it generates 40 percent more downforce compared to the 650S.

The powertrain is a 3.8-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, delivering a maximum output of 675 ps at 7,100 rpm and a peak torque of 700 Nm between 5,500 and 6,500 rpm. This is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch sequential gearbox (SSG), enabling it to achieve a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 2.9 seconds.

The 675LT is a premium model, limited to just 500 units worldwide, allowing only a select few owners to take the wheel. However, even just watching the three-minute video is enough to send shivers down your spine; it is an undeniably sexy machine.
