At McLaren, we do not fear the unknown. We do not fear the challenge. The new McLaren 765LT has a legend to live up to: Longtail. Every car that’s carried this name has been unique. Extreme and utterly focused around the driver. All about maximum engagement. Searing performance. Sensational handling.
Being based on the incredible 720S, the latest LT has everything in its favour. A flying start. And it delivers on every level. Radically lightened and lower, the 765LT uses innovative aerodynamics to create 25% more downforce than the 720S.
This is the most powerful LT yet, with a shattering 765PS. Just 765 will ever be produced. For the lucky few, the next chapter is beginning…
Introducing the new 765LT. Born from fearless engineering.
Uncompromising. Singular. Focused. shaped by the pursuit of driving purity. The 765LT. Taking the perfectly formed 720S closer to the edge. With a powerful presence and aggressive design language that deliver incredible performance. Less weight. More downforce. Aerodynamic innovation.
Bespoke carbon fibre body panels shape an iconic elongated profile. Suspension is lowered. And the front track is wider. The message is clear: nothing gets in the way of dynamic ability. Everything is here for a reason.Inside the 765LT, the unblinking sense of purpose and minimal clarity continue. There’s lightweight Alcantara®. And the seats used in the awe-inspiring McLaren P1™. Sculpted carbon fibre is everywhere. The Longtail story continues.
Lighter is faster. And it begins with MonoCage II. An immensely strong, stiff, ultra-light chassis at the heart of each McLaren super car. It’s a perfect base for radical weight saving. New carbon fibre body panels, motorsport-inspired polycarbonate glazing, a unique and dramatic titanium exhaust system, light dual-spring suspension… Longtail DNA is woven into everything. The result is a car that weighs 80kg less than the immensely lean 720S.
Settle into the lightweight seats within the sculpted, ultra-functional cabin and you’re surrounded by more innovative, engineered lightness. The carbon fibre centre tunnel is bespoke. Anything not connected to driver focus is gone. So there’s no air conditioning. Or carpeting. Or audio system. Less is more never felt so real and vivid. The 765LT can be specified to just 1,229kg in dry form. And has a class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 622PS per tonne. Numbers that must be experienced to be appreciated.
Every Longtail is shaped by the spirit of rebellion. An obsession with going faster. Being better. Questioning everything and refusing to compromise. This extreme ethos inspires the design of the 765LT in every way. It’s all about purposeful aggression. You sense it in the elongated profile and lower stance.
You see it in every beautifully engineered detail. Like the newly designed front splitter and bold side air intakes that invoke the legendary 675LT. A McLaren Senna-inspired carbon fibre front licence plate plinth celebrates McLaren motorsport DNA and total performance focus. Audacious attitude and functional quality also make the interior unique. Track ready and dramatically minimal, it surrounds you in lightweight Alcantara®. Deeply sculpted racing seats based on those found in the McLaren P1™ place you perfectly. A unique carbon fibre tunnel flows through the centre of the cabin.
The most powerful LT ever made… 765PS and 800Nm of torque from a 4.0 litre twin-turbocharged V8. Optimised gear ratios – with a unique final drive built from Formula 1 grade materials. And like every Longtail before it, the 765LT is totally focused on maximising its incredible power. Through obsessive lightness. Optimised aerodynamics. Perfect mid-engine, rear wheel drive balance and track-focused dynamics. All combining to make the 765LT’s immense performance immensely usable.
Exhaustive development has created a highly durable powertrain too. Because every LT is born to take on the extreme loads and high revs of the track. But also deliver consistent thrills on any road, every day. Unleashing the most potent McLaren LT to date will raise your pulse. 0-100km/h (0-62mph) takes just 2.7 seconds. 0-200km/h (0-124mph) takes only 7.2 seconds.
