MCLAREN 675LT

MCLAREN has over 50 years of success on the racetrack, and those decades of expertise feed directly into all our road cars. The 675LT is no exception. Inspired by the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’, it deploys motorsport-developed technology to create the most extreme driving experience of any McLaren series-production supercar.

The 675LT has been extensively optimised within the in-house wind tunnel at the McLaren Technology Centre, an astonishingly potent race-proven engine produces 675PS (666bhp) and 700Nm (516lb ft), and the suspension system has been engineered for even sharper responses.
The process might be grounded in hard data, but the result is more engagement, more raw emotion and more mind-blowing performance. The McLaren 675LT propels driving enjoyment to an entirely new dimension.

The twin-turbocharged V8 engine has always been the most potent in its class. Now our engineers have unleashed an additional 25PS (25bhp) and 22Nm (16lb ft) for a thrilling 675PS (666bhp) and 700Nm (516lb ft), and a class-leading 549PS (541bhp) per tonne.

Extraordinary precision defines the 675LT as much as extraordinary performance. Lightweight connecting rods, bespoke camshafts and a new electronic recirculation valve, all maximise engine response, while 300 percent stiffer engine mounts optimise the connection between driver and road surface.
New machined-from-solid turbocharger compressor wheels maximise airflow to the combustion chambers, and an optimised fuel pump increases fuel flow. The combined result is breathtaking performance.

 

TITANIUM EXHAUST

A new lightweight titanium exhaust system instantly differentiates the 675LT, thanks to its distinctive twin exhaust outlets and uniquely rich, aggressive sound, particularly under full acceleration. But the lightweight exhaust system also plays a crucial role in unlocking the 675LT’s additional performance. A specially designed ‘crossover’ system – where the exhaust section that exits on the V8 engine’s left bank actually exits on the right of the car, and vice versa – provides the exact length of titanium tubing required for ultimate performance.

SUPER-FAST GEARBOX

The seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox already provides near-instantaneous shifts to the other models in the McLaren Super Series, but the 675LT’s revised software strategy slashes response times to make gear changes twice as fast. Briefly cutting the ignition between changes creates the fastest possible shift, and an incredibly intense sound. The result is not only increased performance but a heightened sense of connection for the driver.
