World debut for McLaren's 675LT at the Geneva Motor Show
26 Feb 2015|1,673 views
The McLaren 675LT will make its world debut at the 85th Geneva Motor Show, with a clear focus on performance, light weight and ultimate levels of driver engagement - all key attributes of a McLaren 'Longtail'. Offered as a Coupe only, the 675LT will be the most track-focused, yet road legal, model in the McLaren Super Series, with a power-to-weight ratio that eclipses established rivals.
The sprint from 0-100km/h takes just 2.9 seconds, with controlled torque delivery ensuring optimised traction off the line. Acceleration continues at relentless pace with the 200km/h barrier broken in 7.9 seconds, on to a top speed of 330km/h.
The first images of the car demonstrate a more aggressive look for the McLaren brand than ever seen before. Styling cues run from the extended carbon fibre front splitter, through an extended door blade and additional cooling intake, to the circular twin titanium exhaust pipes.
The active 'Longtail' Airbrake is 50 percent bigger than the one fitted to the 650S yet, due its carbon fibre structure, is actually lighter. This is just one of the enhancements that add up to a dry weight of just 1,230kg.
Upgrades to the 3.8-litre V8 engine 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. These changes are so significant, that the engine unit receives a new, unique code - M838TL. The low weight, low inertia power unit produces, as the name suggests, a power output of 675PS (666bhp) and a power-to-weight ratio of 541bhp per tonne.
The 675LT is as fully track-focused as it is road legal with around a third of parts modified to suit this purpose compared with the 650S Coupe and Spider that continue in production alongside it. Yet, like its iconic predecessor, the McLaren F1 GTR 'Longtail', from which the LT name is derived, this is a car that is as exciting to look at as it is to drive.
