675LT Coupe
The 675LT was originally launched solely as a coupe and it was limited to 500 examples worldwide which were all sold out by the time of first deliveries. The car featured a revised version of their 3.8L V8 twin-turbo engine borrowing parts from the P1, there was also new carbon ceramic brakes and a brand new “airbrake” which improved downforce by 40%. The 7-speed SSG dual-clutch gearbox remained mechanically unchanged but now had improved software resulting in quicker shift times than the 650S. Through extensive use of carbon fibre and Alcantara, thinner glass and lightweight alloy wheels the 675LT managed to be 100kg lighter than the 650s and all of this combined resulted in a dramatic improvement in performance.

Where the 675 really stood out was in the way it drove, it had a faster steering rack than the McLaren P1 and it was immediately apparent that the LT had plenty of the finesse and feel which was previously lacking in McLaren’s line up. Whilst it was certainly at its finest on the track, the LT was universally praised for its compliance on the road, making excellent use of McLaren’s different driving modes, featuring Normal, Sport and Track settings for both the chassis and the powertrain.
