When McLaren unveiled the 765LT supercar in March 2020, skepticism surrounded its release. McLaren is known for its quick succession of new models from its Woking production site. The McLaren 720S, its predecessor, had only been on the market for a short time and was already hailed as one of the finest modern supercars.
The ‘LT’ in the 765LT’s name, which stands for ‘Long Tail,’ represents something extraordinary at McLaren – a track-oriented yet street-legal vehicle that prioritizes driver engagement to the maximum. Surpassing the success of the 720S seemed like a daunting task within such a brief timeline.
The superior performance of the 765LT positions it ahead of fierce competitors such as the Ferrari 488 Pista, Ford GT, Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, and the Porsche 911 GT2 RS. McLaren’s rich racing heritage and extensive expertise have seamlessly combined in the 765LT, creating an exceptional blend of unyielding supercar performance. It has set a new benchmark that could serve as a standard for evaluating the next wave of supercars.
