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.
Simplicity prevails in the cockpit, which offers elbow room, excellent forward visibility and a center-tunnel touchscreen that handles infotainment, climate control and onboard telemetry. Wide, low and happier kissing rumble strips than speed bumps, the 765LT – of which only 765 examples will be made – rewards drivers seeking a precision tool for road or, even better, track.
