Remember the teaser McLaren released not too long ago of the upcoming 675LT model? All we got to see from that was one of the wheels and, later on, the rear wing with the exhaust pipes right underneath it. Well, now we can actually show you its rear end thanks to a leaked photo courtesy of Autogespot.
We admit, it’s a bit sketchy and looks like a photo of an official picture displayed on a computer screen but hey, it’s all we’ve got. And we can see this actually happening.
Everything is there. The rear wing and the exhaust pipes and even the wheels seem to resemble the one on the official teaser so what else should we expect from it.
Basically, aesthetically, we can notice that the wing seems to be active, probably also acting like an air brake at high speeds and the rear end looks longer than usual (long tail anyone?). The wheels have a 5-spoke design while the brake calipers seem to be orange now.
As far as the engine goes, it was already confirmed to be another variation of the 3.8-liter V8 with its two turbochargers but this time taken to 675 HP or 666 BHP (oooo, the number of Satan!!). It’s not much if you think about the 650S but there are more into play here than just output numbers.
According to McLaren’s last press release, the LT in the moniker of this car stands for Long Tail and translates into about 40 percent more downforce than on the 650S model. There’s also a bump in torque figures as well and, considering the added force on the rear axle, both the top speed and acceleration times should go up.
Since the 650S does the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in 3 seconds, this one should dwell under this barrier and go up to more than 207 mph (333 km/h).
