With track-focused dynamics, a low curb weight and a lot of power under the hood, the McLaren 675LT Spider seems to be the ideal convertible supercar, if you plan on ignoring the Ferrari 488 Spider. Priced at a cool $372,600, the 675LT Spider is a limited-edition model, with only 500 units to be sold worldwide.
The 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine hiding under the bonnet develops 675 PS and 700 Nm of torque, which roughly translates into a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time of just 2.9 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 8.1 seconds and a top speed of 326 km/h (203 mph). I’m sure this is what we’ve all been dreaming about, right?
The suspension setup and geometry of the 675LT Spider is similar to the coupe version, although the front-end features lightweight springs and the front track has been increased by 20 mm (0.7 in). The overall stiffness of the car has been increased as well, resulting in 40% more downforce compared to the 650S Spider.
The Mclaren 675LT Spider is also a full 100 kg (220 lbs) lighter than the 650S Spider, showing off improved fuel efficiency as well. On an aesthetic level, the 675LT Spider shows off 10-spoke Ultra-Lightweight alloys, wrapped around in P Zero Trofeo R rubber.
Customers may also opt pout for two other wheel options, specifically a new 20-spoke design, with either liquid metal or diamond cut finish, and a 5-spoke design you saw on the Coupe. The exterior color range is the same as on the Coupe, except for the specially developed deep golden Solis color.
Future customers will lay their hands on this convertible supercar in the summer of 2016.
