What McLaren does when it lets its hair down. Utterly bonkers, totally brilliant

Good stuff

Performance, handling, driving experience, design

Bad stuff

Unless your name is Alonso, you can’t buy one

Overview

What is it?

Amazing. Phenomenal. And possibly even a bargain. Well, sort of. The 675 LT is McLaren’s answer to the Ferrari 458 Speciale, a harder, lighter, faster, unbelievably intense reworking of the 650S, best enjoyed on a circuit but still immensely satisfying on the road. OK, so £259,500 makes for a strange sort of bargain, but as McLaren reckons this is closer to its £1m P1 hybrid hypercar than the car it’s based on, you can see where we’re coming from.
