McLaren MSO Carbon Series LT
The McLaren MSO Carbon Series LT is decked in carbon
fiber. Literally. Only 25 units of the 675LT Spider-based model will be made,
and all of them were spoken for already.
With 40% more carbon fiber than
the 675LT Spider, even the fuel filler flap is made from the damn thing. The
aero-crazy front bumper is a nod to the 650S GT3. As the third model to carry
the LT designation after the 675LT coupe and spider, the MSO Carbon Series LT
also happens to be an almighty quick car.
Compared to the soon-to-debut P14
(or 720S), which is expected to pack an all-new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, the
MSO Carbon Series LT is animated by a tried-and-proven 3.8-liter blunderbuss.
Converted to American ponies, 675 PS translates to 666 horsepower. The number
of the beast is accompanied by 700 Nm or 516 pound-feet of torque, which makes
for a 0 to 100 km/h)scamper of 2.9 seconds, on to a top speed of 326 km/h.
McLaren has yet to reveal the
asking price for each and every unit of the 25 MSO Carbon Series LT, but then
again, beholding such unbelievable attention to detail is certainly worth every
penny. Given the £285,450 sticker of the 675LT Spider, this carbon fiber-laden
thrill machine certainly isn’t cheap.
