McLaren has unveiled the 675LT supercar ahead of its world debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show. Offered only as a coupe, the 675LT is basically a lighter and faster 650S that re-establishes the McLaren “Longtail” heritage.
The 675LT’s exterior gets unique styling cues like an extended carbon fiber front splitter, an extended door blade with additional cooling intake and circular twin titanium exhaust pipes. The active ‘Longtail’ Airbrake is 50 percent bigger than the one fitted to the 650S yet, due its carbon fiber structure, is actually lighter. The 675LT weighs in at 2,711 pounds – 220 pounds lighter than the 650S.

The 675LT is powered by an upgraded 3.8L V8 that generates 666 horsepower. The upgrades include new, more efficient turbos, detail design changes to the cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds, new camshaft and lightweight connecting rods, and a faster-flowing fuel pump and delivery system. The 675LT will speed from 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph.
It will be offered in five ‘By McLaren’ hero specifications, which includes four bespoke colors never previously offered: Silica White, Delta Red, Napier Green and Chicane Grey are all newly formulated paint hues for the 675LT.
