McLaren works its motor magic

There’s always room for improvement, even for supercars. McLaren goes hunting with its lighter, faster and more powerful 675 LT. Matt Joy puts it to the test.

What’s new?

Creating an even faster, track-ready version of an existing supercar could be achieved very quickly – and cynically; an engine tweak here, a bigger wing there. But that’s not how McLaren has gone about creating the limited run 675 LT. The Long Tail name references the F1 Long Tails created for further dominance in motorsport, and this road car is designed to work on the track too.
