    McLaren 675LT Spider Side ViewSee the birth of the McLaren 675LT Spider – the first of its kind and the second wearing the 675LT badge. This car and its coupe sibling open a new chapter in the history of the iconic ‘Longtail’ name. The sad news is that it will be strictly limited to only 500 examples worldwide. Just like its coupe, the spider is too focused on reduced weight, better aerodynamics, increased power and track-focused dynamics.

    Typical for the 675LT family is that they are driven by the revised 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 powertrain. Therefore the power output and torque for the spider variant are the same, namely 675PS (496 kW) delivered at 7,100rpm and 700Nm (516lb-ft) available between 5,000-6,500rpm. Acceleration from 0 to100kmh (0-62mph) happens in only 2.9 seconds, and the sprint to 200kmh (124mph) is rated at 8.1 seconds. The top speed is 326km/h (203mph).

    If you wonder about how big the fuel consumption is, then I will have to disappoint you because this McLaren returns 24.2mpg on the EU combined cycle and emits only 275g/km of CO2.

    McLaren 675LT Spider and Coupe

    At the core of the building of the 675LT Spider is the focus of on the lightweight technologies and materials as well as on the aerodynamic performance. This of course means nothing else but an extensive use of carbon fibre for the bodywork, including the front bumper with larger splitter and end plates, front under body, side skirts, side intakes, lower side intakes, rear bodyside lower, rear fenders, rear deck, rear bumper, diffuser and ‘Longtail’ Airbrake.

    As a result the dry weight of the car measures just 1,270kg, which is 100kg lighter than the 650S Spider. Another effect is the power-to-weight figure of 532PS per tonne.

    Unlike the coupe, the Spider sits on new lightweight springs and a wider track, which has been increased by 20mm. In addition, the supersports car runs on 10-spoke Ultra-Lightweight forged alloys that are sized 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear. They have been fitted with P Zero™ Trofeo R tyres.

    Furthermore, the exterior paint palette includes Silica White, Delta Red, Napier Green and Chicane Grey paint finishes. There is a new deep golden color, called Solis, which is the bespoke color available exclusively for the open-top 675LT Spider.

    Interior Filled with Lightweight Components

    The cabin is adorned by Alcantara and bare carbon fibre. For instance, the lightweight material has been used for the racing seats, which offers the best lumbar support and visual charm. Unlike the coupe, there is an addition of exclusive Xenon Yellow contrast stitching.

    Club Sport Professional Pack

    This package will give any customer the chance to enhance its McLaren 675LT Spider with more carbon and stealth detailing. It is offered in Titanium Silver, Storm Grey, Onyx Black and Chicane Grey, while the Ultra-Lightweight wheels are stealth finished. There is also a satin carbon fibre finish applied to the front wing end plates, lower side air intake and the centre of the rear bumper, along with the side intakes, wheel arches, wing mirrors and ‘Longtail’ Airbrake.

    Detailing of McLaren Orange has been added to the brake callipers, embossed leather and stitching. They come in the heritage color made famous by the Formula 1™ and Can-Am racers of Bruce McLaren.

    Following the example of the coupe, the production of the 675LT Spider will be strictly limited to only 500 units. The starting price begins at £285,450 with first deliveries next summer. Don’t forget to watch and hear the roar of this unique vehicle in the video below.

  • McLaren 675LT Makes Dynamic Debut. See it! [VIDEO]

    McLaren 675LT Front ViewMcLaren 675LT was officially revealed back in February after a long teaser campaign. Since summer days are more for outdoors experiences, McLaren decided to unleash the supercar on the track. Fortunately, everything was captured on a video, so you and I are now lucky and can view it. This is a memorable video, since its shows a lot of the performance capabilities of the 675LT. What is more, this is actually car’s debut on the track, which makes everything even more impressive.

    Fast Facts about McLaren 675LT

    As you know, McLaren 675LT is the lightest by far and most powerful vehicle the company has ever produced for the Super Series. It is also the most track-focused one. You might ask why this is so? Well, the reasons are many, but the most important ones are the following: first the 675LT has been aerodynamically optimized and lightweight, meaning that it mainly built from carbon fiber.

    This material has been used everywhere: from the front splitter and the big active ‘Longtail’ Airbrake, right to the carbon fiber-shelled bucket seats inside. As a result 675LT achieves a dry weight of just 1,230kg.

    The aero-credentials of the car are also fortified by the aerodynamics that also focuses on driver’s engagement. As a matter of fact, in the video below you will find that the track-focused dynamics are highlighted further as the Napier Green model is demonstrated in each of its three handling and powertrain modes.

    The exhilarating performance of the car is due to the powerful 3.8-litre V8 twin turbo engine producing 675PS (666bhp). It is also responsible for the mighty sound. Well, here also helps the titanium crossover exhaust.

    Lightweight and powerful, the car is actually fully road legal. It is capable of covering the 0-100km/h acceleration time in 2.9 seconds. The 200 km/h barrier is broken in 7.9 seconds, focusing on the next goal – the 330 km/h top speed and going beyond it.

    Production of the unique McLaren 675LT will be strictly limited. Now take a look at it as it makes its dynamic debut on the track.

  • It’s Official: McLaren 675LT Redefines Notions of Beauty and Power

    McLaren 675LT is finally revealed! Set to make its debut in less than a week in Geneva, the car is destined to change some standards in the automotive world. Lightweight, optimized, aero and powerful, the coupé only 675LT is fully road legal and capable of 2.9 seconds 0-100km/h acceleration time. The 200 km/h barrier is broken in 7.9 seconds, focusing on the next goal – the 330 km/h top speed and going beyond it.

    The new McLaren model is almost a synonym for carbon fiber. This material has been used literally everywhere. Take for instance the front splitter and the big active ‘Longtail’ Airbrake, and the carbon fibre-shelled bucket seats inside. The result is a dry weight of just 1,230kg. At the rear, the circular twin titanium exhaust pipes are what give us some hints to the performance of the car.

    The levels of power have been increased due to some substantial improvements to the 3.8-litre V8 engine. We are not going to discuss them in details, but we will only mention that due to these changes the engine unit has received a new unique code – M838TL.

    What we haven’t said so far is that the 675 LT is F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ successor (LT stands for “Longtail’), meaning that it embodies its parent’s characteristics. As the name of the car shows, the V8 is capable of generating 675 hp (496 kW). This number suggests only a track focused car. However, as we already told you, McLaren has managed to make the 675LT fully road legal.

    What really caught our attention is that the company will offer the vehicle in five different “By McLaren” hero specifications. What this means? Basically, there will be four new colors specifically “invented” for the car. These include Silica White, Delta Red, Napier Green and Chicane Grey. The fifth color will be the heritage Orange.

    Each model will be equipped with “stripped out” interior that has been fitted with premium materials and stylish hues, bucket seats wrapped in Alcantara, 675LT logos on the headrest and on the rev counter. Below you can read in details the official specifications of the car. If there’s anything unsaid around it we will let you in a week, when it makes its official debut.

    McLaren 675LT Technical Specifications:

    0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) 2.9 seconds
    0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) 7.9 seconds
    Top speed 330 km/h (205 mph)

  • McLaren 675LT Official Image Leaked

    After two teaser videos of the most – anticipated car produced by McLaren right now (the first video showing spinning wheels accompanied with relaxing classical music and the second one revealing the blasting sound of the vehicle), now there is a leaked image of this upcoming beast.

    Being a reference to the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail, the new McLaren 675LT is said to inherit the spirit of its legendary predecessor. Featuring a sufficiently transformed rear end, the 675LT promises to be an unmatched beast on the track. This car packs a twin turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine that produces symbolic figures of power. The vicious output of 666 HP (96 kW) fits the devilish nature of the model. When we talk about the vehicle, we are also looking at optimized aerodynamics in comparison to the on-going 650S Coupe. Precisely, there is a 40% increase in downforce and torque.

    Furthermore, by the looks of the car, it has received a titanium exhaust system with two circular pipes placed below a reworked airbrake. Other goodies which can also be noticed are the vented rear fenders, revised diffuser, new alloy wheels adorned by orange brake calipers and altered side vents.

    The official premiere of the McLaren 675LT will take place next month during the Geneva Motor Show.

  • Hear the new McLaren 675LT Roar! [VIDEO]

    McLaren 675LT is the first McLaren in almost two decades that wears the LT designation. The latter stands for “Longtail” and this means that it promises to keep the spirit of its iconic predecessor. The car is aerodynamically optimized, and in fact the active ‘Longtail’ Airbrake contributes to a 40 percent increase in overall downforce in comparison to the 650S. Both cars will be sitting alongside in the McLaren Super Series.

    As the name suggest, the total power output of the model is of 675 hp, while the torque is 700 Nm (516 lb-ft). These two “numbers” are produced by a thoroughly revised 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 engine, which includes new lightweight components and turbos.

    Optimized acceleration and traction from a standing start in first gear is ensured by the controlled torque delivery of 600 Nm (443 lb-ft). Then it rises to the full 700 Nm available from 5,500-6,500 rpm through each of the other gears.

    Another specific feature in the new McLaren is the redesigned crossover exhaust system, which is formed from lightweight titanium. As you can see from the video below, there are two circular titanium exhaust pipes that exit centrally through exposed bodywork below the rear ‘Longtail’ Airbrake. This new system has a crucial role, because it optimizes performance and reduces weight.

    The 675LT will be available as a coupe only. More details are yet to come, including the performance figures, and this is expected to happen during car’s world debut at the Geneva Motor Show on 3rd of March.

  • McLaren 675LT with a Devilish 666 HP [VIDEO]

    Set to make its premiere in Geneva, the newest McLaren product has already received its name and it is McLaren 675LT. The car inherits the spirit and ethos of its iconic predecessor  “Longtail’ but will combine it with blistering aerodynamics, optimized performance as well as increased downforce and reduced weight.

    This modern interpretation of the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail promises to be the “lightest, the quickest, and the purest version of the range.” The automaker has made it clear that the model will be equipped with a revised twin-turbo V8 3.8-liter engine which is capable of producing the jaw-dropping 666 HP (496 kW). In consequence, thanks to these figures, the new McLaren model is proclaimed to be the most powerful one in the Super Series.

    Still, the extra oomph won’t be the only thing that defines the devilish character of the 675LT. It also promises to arrive with a reworked body which can be distinguished by the special longtail treatment which is a tribute to the legendary F1 GTR Long Tail. No other details have been released so far but we were presented with a teaser video as a compromise. Nevertheless, it is just as scarce as everything else really. Spinning wheels and classic music in the background can hardly calm down the beating hearts of the people who are expecting to see the final product.

    McLaren 675LT will be shown along with the exciting 650S and the Asia-only 625C models during the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March.
