McLaren has added the most focused, fastest and exhilarating open top model to ever wear a McLaren badge, further strengthening the ‘LT’ brand.
The 675LT Spider, only the second McLaren in nearly two decades to wear the LT – or ‘Longtail’ – name, stays true to the spirit of its iconic predecessor with aerodynamically optimised, dramatically enhanced styling which results in 40% more downforce than the 650S Spider which it sits alongside in the McLaren Super Series.
Under the skin sits the heavily-revised 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 powertrain from the Coupé sibling, ensuring performance figures are worthy of the LT badge. The power output and torque figures remain unchanged, with 666bhp delivered at 7,100rpm and 516lb/ft available between 5,000-6,500rpm.
Acceleration from 0-62mph takes just 2.9 seconds. Despite these blistering performance figures, the 675LT Spider returns 24.2mpg on the EU combined cycle, while CO2 emissions remain at 275g/km – the same as the Coupé. A three-piece retractable folding hardtop can be opened at speeds up to 25mph to allow for a new level of open-air exhilaration.
