The McLaren 675 LT was actually revealed last week, but today it’s had its debut at the Geneva Motor Show, and McLaren has revealed the 675LT will cost from £259,500 and will be built in limited numbers – just 500 worldwide.

As a hardcore take on the 650S, the 675LT focusses on being lighter, having more power and better dynamics. Not an easy task when the base car is already so good.

But McLaren has given the 675LT a wider track, fitted stiffer, lightweight springs, a faster steering rack and lightweight uprights and wishbones, along with lighter glass polycarbonate engine cover all help it to shed 100kg over the 650S.

The 675LT keeps the 650S’s seven-speed SSG gearbox – along with Normal, Sport and Track modes – but McLaren has given it a tweak to make it twice as quick with a more aggressive, and quicker shift thanks to Ignition Cut that momentarily cuts the fuel spark when you shift gears, making for a quicker shift and a ‘Crack’ on shifting.

The Geneva Show Car (above) comes in McLaren’s new Chicane Grey and gets fitted with the new McLaren Club Sport Pack – costing £5,090 – which adds titanium roll hoop, four point harnesses and a fire extinguisher.

First deliveries of the McLaren 675LT will be in July 2015, and it’s now available to order from McLaren’s UK dealers.
