McLaren 675LT

The McLaren 675LT is a luxury track focus sportscar manufactured by McLaren.
== Description ==
The McLaren 675LT is a high-performance supercar that was announced in February 2015 and was officially introduced to the public at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. This particular model was developed as a more track-focused, lightweight version of the already impressive McLaren 650S. The '675' in its name references the car's power output, which is 675 PS (666 hp). The 'LT' stands for 'Longtail', a nod to the iconic 'Longtail' version of the McLaren F1 GTR race car from the 1990s.
The 675LT features a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, similar to the rest of McLaren's models, however, it has been reinforced with additional carbon fiber to increase rigidity and reduce weight. This has helped the 675LT to achieve a dry weight of just 2,711 pounds, making it one of the lightest cars in its class. The lightweight construction, combined with an aerodynamically optimized design, allows the 675LT to deliver exceptional performance on the track.
The body of the 675LT is also predominantly made of carbon fiber, further contributing to its lightweight and agile nature. The aggressive and sleek design of the car is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional. The car's aerodynamic design generates high levels of downforce, keeping it firmly planted on the road and providing excellent grip and stability at high speeds.
Inside, the 675LT offers a luxurious and driver-focused cabin. Alcantara and lightweight carbon fiber dominate the interior, with bucket seats and a minimalistic dashboard adding to the overall sporty feel of the car. The steering wheel features numerous buttons and controls, providing easy access to various functions such as the powertrain and suspension settings.
The 675LT is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing 675 PS and 700 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. This combination allows the 675LT to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 205 mph.
The nomenclature of the 675LT, although simple, carries a lot of significance. The '675' represents the amount of power it produces, while the 'LT' indicates its track-focused nature and its lineage to the legendary 'Longtail' F1 GTR. This combination of power and track performance has made the 675LT a highly sought-after car among supercar enthusiasts.
In 2016, McLaren released a convertible version of the 675LT, called the 675LT Spider. It featured a retractable hardtop roof that could open or close in just 17 seconds, and could be operated at speeds of up to 19 mph. The Spider variant had similar performance figures to the coupe, with a top speed of 203 mph.
McLaren also released a limited edition 'Carbon Series' of the 675LT Spider in 2016. This variant featured extensive use of carbon fiber in its body and interior, making it even lighter and more performance-oriented than the standard 675LT Spider.
In 2017, McLaren also introduced a track-only version of the 675LT, called the MSO HS (which stands for McLaren Special Operations High Sport). With significant upgrades to the aerodynamics, suspension, and engine, the MSO HS had a power output of 688 PS (678 hp) and could reach a top speed of 205 mph. Only 25 units were produced, making it a rare and highly coveted model.
