McLaren's 765LT Is Fastest, Lightest & Most Powerful Longtail Supercar Ever

McLaren has unveiled its latest longtail supercar, the 765LT, showcasing expertise in automotive engineering as it becomes the manufacturer’s fastest, lightest and most powerful LT car ever.

The all-new 765LT claims its title for a number of reasons. Firstly, only 765 units will be available to order, and secondly, it delivers 765 PS from its twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The powerplant also delivers 800Nm of torque, which helps to push the supercar from 0-60 MPH in just 2.7 seconds and from 0-124 MPH in 7.2 seconds.

Furthermore, it’s 80kg lighter than the previous range-topping 720s, which comes as a result of using carbon fiber throughout. A quad-exit titanium exhaust system, Formula 1-grade transmission materials, thinner glass and motorsport-style polycarbonate glazing all contribute to the new model’s diet, while its LT aerodynamics package has been crafted from carbon fiber.

Inside the driver is cocooned in a cockpit that features carbon fiber racing seats, a carbon fiber center tunnel, an exposed carbon fiber floor and lightweight Alcantara detailing. The air-conditioning and audio system have been deleted by default, once more reducing weight and offering a nod to the hardcore longtail offerings from McLaren in the 1990s.
