The 2023 McLaren 765LT is a supercar designed for the track that prioritizes performance over most personal amenities. It is incredibly rapid, thanks to a 755-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 positioned amidships, and its lightweight design makes it a missile on the racecourse. The “LT” in its name stands for “longtail,” and it refers to the fact that it is a 720S “longtail” version with many shared components. The straightforward cabin offers a no-nonsense vibe, and the Spider version’s standard retractable convertible top adds some weight but shouldn’t significantly hinder the driving experience itself.

What’s New?
The old 765LT coupe, which was only offered for the 2021 model year, is replaced by the new 765LT Spider convertible, which is introduced to the roster. The 765LT Spider will only be made in a total of 765 copies, making both vehicles limited editions. The 765LT and the detuned 720S have similar interior architecture and layouts. This implies that the upholstery in its interior can be changed to a variety of soft-grain leather and faux-suede patterns and colours. The LT’s interior, however, has been improved to decrease weight and increase performance, which lowers refinement. Lightweight seats, eliminated carpet, and thinner-gauge glass are a few of the various weight-saving techniques used.
Engine & Performance
A twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, as found in its 720S sister, powers the mid-engined 765LT. While the LT’s seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission also drives the rear wheels, the Senna’s engine has been strengthened in the LT. The Longtail now has 755 horsepower, which is 45 more than the 720S thanks to these enhancements. It has a set of high-mounted exhaust ports that allow it to expel its toxic gases and ferocious sounds, which get louder the harder the gas pedal is squeezed. According to our calculations, the 765LT will accelerate from zero to 100 mph in just 5.4 ticks and reach 60 mph in 2.4 seconds. The same superhuman track skills and communicative feedback that made the 720S so outstanding are there in the 765LT.
