Novitec’s Refined McLaren 765LT Prides Itself With 844 HP, Rolls on Vossen Shoes

When it comes down to making some of the world’s most revered supercars even better, the specialists over at Novitec aren’t joking around. In fact, this tuner doesn’t really need any sort of introduction, having climbed to the very pinnacle of Germany’s aftermarket food chain over the years. We absolutely dig their four-wheeled works of art, and I’ll bet my bottom dollar that you feel the same.

In the past, autoevolution's pages have been adorned with some of the juiciest exploits born under Novitec’s roof, including a vicious body kit for Lamborghini’s beloved Huracan EVO and a 2021 Ferrari 812 GTS with no less than 829 untamed horses on tap. It goes without saying that these sexy things fully demonstrate the crew’s incredible abilities.

Now, let’s have another look at what these auto architects managed to make of McLaren’s 765LT. Before we proceed with a thorough analysis of their achievements, allow us to remind you about the standard vehicle’s main specs and features. In this fashion, you’ll get a clear idea as to how far this project has come.

Under its hood, the factory-spec 765LT houses a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that feeds its unforgiving oomph to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission. At approximately 7,500 revs, this nasty animal is perfectly capable of generating as much as 755 hp (765 PS), while an ungodly torque output of up to 590 pound-feet (800 Nm) will be delivered at 5,500 rpm.

Ultimately, this state of affairs enables the longtail coupe to reach a top speed of 205 mph (330 kph). Although these figures will be more than enough to satisfy most people, Novitec’s experts saw a great deal of hidden potential that begged to be unleashed. Let’s see what they brought to the table, shall we?

The tastiest upgrades are found in the powertrain department, which is where we’ll begin our analysis of this graceful undertaking. Stetten’s aftermarket doctors offer three different tuning stages, the most powerful of which will dial the twin-turbo V8’s output figures all the way up to 844 wicked ponies and 662 pound-feet (898 Nm) of crushing twist at optimal rpm.

What's more, this is accomplished mainly by means of a plug-and-play N-Tronic control unit that alters the 765LT’s ignition, fuel injection, and electronic boost pressure. The end result is a face-melting 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) acceleration time of 2.5 seconds, which is quite simply astonishing. Not impressed? What if we told you the speedometer will read 124 mph (200 kph) after just 6.5 seconds?

A state-of-the-art Inconel exhaust system from Novitec’s very own catalog will bring about a sweet soundtrack to go with your ride. As for the looks, the German tuner teamed up with the pros over at Vossen to fabricate that gorgeous set of MC3 forged wheels. The new shoes are available in 72 different colors with polished or brushed finishes, boasting a diameter of 20 inches up front and 21 inches at the rear.

The suspension duties are handled by top-grade lowering springs that’ll bring the McLaren 20 mm (0.8 inches) closer to ground level. To top it all off, the company installed a comprehensive carbon fiber body kit, consisting of a fresh trunk lid and hood, as well as carbon headlight inserts, rocker panels, and air inlets.

The enterprise hasn’t revealed any details on pricing at the time of this publication, but we’ll remind you that a stock 765LT is priced at an eye-watering $299,000. As such, it’s quite safe to assume that Novitec’s price tag will make you weak at the knees.
