McLaren celebrates 25 years of the Longtail

McLaren Automotive is celebrating 25 remarkable years of performance excellence from its 'Longtail' models, with the last of the latest generation of sold-out cars - the 765LT Spider - being delivered to owners in the coming months.

To mark the occasion, McLaren Formula One Racing Driver Daniel Ricciardo discovers the LT lineup in a new, behind the scenes video at the McLaren Technology Centre, which is embedded above. Led by McLaren Automotive Product Manager, Ian Howshall, the pair discover the engineering innovation behind the Longtail's aerodynamic design and light-weighting.

The original 'Longtail' was a development of the McLaren F1 GTR that dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, placing first, third, fourth and fifth. This impressive victory made McLaren Automotive the only manufacturer to win the world-famous endurance race in its first attempt.
