Description

McLaren has taken the wraps off of its latest supercar and it is an absolute stunner.
Called the 675LT – 675 is the car’s “PferdestŠrke” power rating (roughly equivalent to U.S. horsepower) and the letters are short for “longtail” – McLaren vows its new offering will be “the most track-focused, yet road legal, model in the McLaren Super Series.” Based on the existing McLaren 650S Coupe and Spider, which will both remain in production, the 675 LT features fully one third of it parts modified from its forebears.
