The Mclaren 765LT makes no pretence of its hard-edged performance intent, as evidenced by the aerodynamic longtail bodywork that clothes one of the latest offerings from the British marque. Stab the start button and the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine growls to life through a lightweight, quad-exit all-titanium exhaust that amplifies the McLaren’s raspy bark. It’s a percussive soundtrack befitting a car making 755hp and 800Nm of torque, impressive specifications that don’t quite convey the onslaught of power, which hurtles the 765LT to 330km/h, with a zero-to-100km/h sprint time of just 2.8 seconds. McLaren’s seven-speed Seamless Shift Gearbox delivers smooth, immediate response to match the car’s lasersharp handling and telepathic steering feedback. The active suspension helps drivers tackle corners fast, flat and with a reassuring sense of control, bolstered by the presence of the same massive brake calipers found on the McLaren Senna.
