McLaren 720S Goes Off-Roading In Cinematic Ceramic Pro Ad

The McLaren 720S only has 100 mm or so of ground clearance so it is safe to say it was not built for any type of off-roading.

New McLaren 765LT heads up Super Series with 754bhp

Woking's 720S flagship gets the Longtail treatment with a power boost and hefty weight loss

McLaren’s all-new Super Series flagship is the 765LT, the firm’s fourth ‘track-focused’ Longtail model and an even lighter, sharper and faster version of the 720S that it launched at the Geneva motor show three years ago.

The 765LT shaves an impressive 80kg from the 720S’s kerb weight, leaving it at a class-leading 1229kg. As with the three previous LT models, McLaren lists enhanced driver engagement, minimised weight, track-focused dynamics, refined aerodynamics, increased power and rarity as the car’s standout properties, and again its creation has entailed “hundreds of detailed engineering and design changes”.

McLaren’s familiar mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine gets stronger, lighter forged aluminium pistons and a three-layer head gasket from the Senna. These plus a higher-flow fuel system, a recalibrated ECU and a lower-back-pressure exhaust system lift power from 710bhp to 754bhp and boost torque from 568lb ft to 590lb ft.

These enhancements, along with a lowering of the overall gearing, have resulted in 15% quicker in-gear acceleration, placing the 765LT usefully ahead of its rivals. McLaren quotes 0-62mph acceleration of 2.8sec and a 0-125mph time of 7.2sec; the latter figure puts the 765LT 0.4sec ahead of the Ferrari 488 Pista and a clear second ahead of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

McLaren 765LT

Lighter, more powerful and with even higher levels of performance on both road and track, the McLaren 765LT is revealed as the latest in a line of 'Longtail' McLarens and the most dynamically advanced and engaging LT model ever from McLaren Automotive.

The McLaren 765LT opens a new chapter in the 'Longtail' story that began with the McLaren F1 GTR race car in the 1990s and since 2015 has seen road-legal LT models introduced. The new car elevates to new levels the attributes that underpin every LT: driver engagement, track-focused dynamics, minimised weight, optimised aerodynamics and increased power are all amplified - particularly the first two. The LT promise of being 'limited to the few' is also fulfilled, with just 765 individually numbered cars available globally for customer order.

Advanced carbon fibre technologies and bespoke carbon fibre LT body panels and aerodynamic features are key to an 80kg (DIN) weight reduction over the 720S. Together with power of 765PS and torque of 800Nm from the 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged McLaren V8 engine, transmission gearing optimised for scintillating in-gear acceleration and LT-specific suspension springs and dampers, this is the basis for the wholly immersive driving experience the new 765LT delivers.

"The 765LT is the most accomplished and exhilarating LT model ever from McLaren Automotive. Incredible performance and astonishing levels of driver engagement - the result of hundreds of detailed engineering actions undertaken to ensure the purest possible connection between driver and car - are the stand-out attributes of an LT developed with single-minded determination to deliver a wholly immersive driving experience to those who secure one of the 765 available to customer order." Mike Flewitt, CEO, McLaren Automotive

New McLaren 765LT arrives with 563 kW to continue the Longtail legacy

McLaren’s Longtail story continues with the reveal of the new 765LT, a Longtail variant of the 720S boasting improved performance, more downforce and lower weight.

Using McLaren’s familiar twin-turbo 4,0-litre V8, the 765LT pushes out 563 kW at 7 500 r/min and 800 N.m of torque at 5 500 r/min, which the Woking-based firm says results in a 0-100 km/h time of 2,8 seconds, a 0-200 km/h time of 7,2 seconds and a top speed of 330 km/h. Optimised transmission gearing for the seven-speed dual-clutch, meanwhile, ostensibly results in 15 percent quicker in-gear acceleration than the 720S.

Thanks to the use of high-performance, lightweight materials throughout the carbon-fibre body, the overall mass of the vehicle has been cut to 1 339 kg (which makes it some 80 kg lighter than the standard 720S). These materials include a titanium exhaust system, F1-grade transmission materials and thinner glass with motorsport-style polycarbonate glazing.

Of course, aerodynamics are a key focus of the new 765LT. The package includes a carbon-fibre front splitter, bumper, floor, side skirts, rear bumper and diffuser. The active rear “Longtail” wing, with a surface area 20 percent greater than the item employed by the 720S, has a minimal effect on the car’s drag co-efficient, according to McLaren. Ultimately, the additions to the body result in a 25 percent increase in downforce compared with the 720S.

McLaren unleashes leaner, faster 765LT

Packing 563 kW and 800 Nm from its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, the McLaren 765LT utilises myriad carbon fibre components and incorporates several upgrades – not least technologies from its Senna sibling – to establish itself as the ultimate Longtail in the Woking-based manufacturer's storied model lineage.

With a limited production run of only 765 units, the 765LT needs to be pretty darn special… and it most certainly is. In its leanest, most stripped-out configuration the newcomer tips the scales at 80 kg less than the 720S (for a dry weight of only 1 229 kg and a power-to-weight ratio of 36.9 kW/tonne) by virtue of a plethora of weight-saving measures.

Prior Design McLaren 720S Makes New 765LT Look Tame

The McLaren 720S has been around for three years now and it is no stranger to being updated and modified by the likes of Novitec, Mansory and DMC but for the first time, Prior Design had a go and they did not hold back.

A huge rear wing improves the overall profile of the Woking rocket but as you will see, there are a large number of new aero components giving the supercar a lot more presence.

Sideswiped BMW X5 Slams Into McLaren Dealership Destroying A 720S

Imagine calling your insurer to lodge an accident claim for your BMW X5 and then telling them you collided with a McLaren dealership. You can bet the insurance employee will nearly fall off their chair but these things happen and it did so in Scottsdale, Arizona recently.

The driver of the black BMW X5 said he was sideswiped resulting in the SUV slamming into a McLaren dealership. An orange 720S sustained some minor damage which will be easily repairable but a silver example did not get as lucky.

McLaren 765LT Can Hit 200 Km/H In Just 7 Seconds, Production Underway

The McLaren 765LT has entered into production with the first customer deliveries expected to take place at the end of this month.

Just 765 units of the most extreme Super Series model ever will be hand-assembled at the factory in Woking and owners will be glad to hear that it performs even better than expected.

The combination of the light weight (1,229kg at minimum dry weight) and the 755 hp (563 kW) 800 Nm 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 McLaren engine underpins the incredible acceleration of the 765LT.

Launch off the line and you will hit 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds but if you keep your foot flat you will hit 200 km/h just 4.2 seconds after that (7 seconds in total from standstill). That is as fast as a Ferrari LaFerrari and faster than the Porsche 918 Spyder.
