In a move that would fill the space left between the 650S supercar and the astronomically-potent P1 hypercar, McLaren looks is building a “track-focused development of the 650S” called the 675LT. With a nod to the F1 GTR “Long Tail”, which competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance races of the late-90s, the limited-production 675LT would pack an even bigger punch than its lesser, 650S sibling, wringing every last ounce of speed possible from the platform.
Featuring enhanced aerodynamics, less weight, and even more power, the 675LT will essentially be offered as a barely-road-legal race car. It may bear all the appropriate markings of something you’d find out on a public highway, like headlights, a windshield, turn signals, and tires with grooves, but given the appropriate environment, the 675LT would handily trounce just about any competitor in a contest of speed. However, this extra velocity will also come at a hugely inflated price over the $265,500 650S.
For now, McLaren has limited us to a few teaser shots, including one under heavy camo and one of the wheel. Expect more details in March, when the 675LT makes the leap from prototype teaser pic to a full reveal at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. In the meantime, read on to get the scoop on what’s known so far.
