1.5 inches is barely noticeable for something to be called the "Long Tail" version; the original GT was around 25 inches longer than the F1.

Also, it seems to be an ambiguous statement. The front end could also be longer with that deeper chin spoiler/fascia. Wouldn't it be hilarious if it was longer not because of the rear, but because of the front?

Long Chin.

I originally assumed that's how the car would increase in length; by the rear & the front expanding out much like the GT did. To be blunt, the 675LT seems like the 650S that finally dropped the MP4-12C rear & upped the power again. :indiff:
 
This is kind of a lateral thing, but does anyone else think that Mclaren has the ugliest alloys of the entire premium car spectrum? The 650S' look particularly "Pep-Boys" to me. The LeMans special looked far better because they were simple beefy 5 spokes.

The only thing long about this car is the tale they'll make up to explain why this car's tail isn't actually long.

Or the abbreviation to describe the car's actual shape:

The McLaren 675IABLTTNCBSNRTML, or to give it its full name, the McLaren 675 It's a Bit Longer Than The Normal Car But Still Not Really That Much Longer.
 
So they don't really tell us what does LT stands for huh ?
 
Supposedly the "LT" name is more in homage to the original, as the car is supposed to be similar in spirit to the F1 Long Tail... as a race-ready sports car.

Of course, if it were really that, they should have called it the 675GT. :dunce:

Silly name aside, the 675LT is an interesting car. Lots of aerodynamics, one commenter on another website guesstimates about 200 kg of downforce at about 180 mph... given the percentage increase of downforce McLaren is claiming.

Also dig the intakes and outlets in the sills and bumpers to clean the aero through the wheel wells.

And it comes on Trofeo R's... which are road-legal R-comp tires.

McLaren should just dump the 650S, rename the 675LT the 675GT, sell a 625GT with the same body, and 675LT and be done with it all. :D
 
I actually think the 675LT is the best modern McLaren, even more than the P1.
 
But we just got it? :odd: I don't like Mclaren's new "product" strategy.
 
To be fair, it's technically already 4 years old since it's just a heavily refreshed MP4-12C (which only last 2011-2014).
 
Got a close up view of a 650S a few days ago, truly an amazing car. Whole new respect for it after getting up close and personal.
 
We have to pay for fuel. Plus, that 5k bill and the Dick Johnson Falcon that is active. I dig it though.
 
Better on fuel then an SS Commodore or XR6 Turbo though lol.

'Balls, our F1 team has all the sponsorship of a HRT and bill for repainting the car to look even more like an amateur squad has just come in, time for a product refresh!'
