When McLaren->ke284 replaced the MP4-12C->ke3514 with the 650S->ke4801 for the 2015 model year, the sports car->ke506 market finally gained a vehicle that could give the Ferrari 458 Speciale a run for its money. As cool as that may sound, things got way better when McLaren launched the 675LT.->ke5052 Not only lighter, quicker, and more powerful than the 650S, the 675LT also honors the F1 Long Tail's heritage. What's more, McLaren made it the most track-focused model in its Super Series lineup and assigned it to a limited production run. The 675LT has "collectible" written all over it.

Set to go on sale this autumn for around $350,000, the long-tailed sports car is now available for some virtual fun via the company's online configurator. If you've already pre-ordered one, it's a good time to start customizing it and selecting some of the options you might like. If you're like me and can't afford one, you might as well have a little fun and show me what your dream 675LT would look like.

Exterior Colors

McLaren is know for offering its customers a wide range of exterior colors for just about any model, and the 675LT is no exception to that rule. If you like to spend a lot of time shuffling through paint colors, you'll be happy to know that the 675LT comes with 19 of them. It's true that half of them are variations of white, gray and black, but buyers in need of a more exotic wrap have plenty of options to choose from. Napier Green is a flashy choice, but Volcano Orange, Volcano Yellow, and Tarocco Orange will also help your 675LT stand out in a crowd. Naturally, Mantis Green is also available for this model, as are Aurora Blue and the classic McLaren Orange.

Cost options include an array of carbon-fiber parts, such as mirror caps, wheel arches, sill panels, side intakes, front bumper end plate, and rear bumper centerpiece. You can also choose between standard or soft-close door latches and standard or Stealth badges.

Interior

Interior customization starts off with two seating options. You can go with either the standard, electric heated seats or the racing units, which are better suited for a long weekend at the track. Each selection can be wrapped in either full leather or Alcantara and embossed leather. The embossed leather comes in four colors: Stone Grey, Harissa Red, McLaren Orange or Almond White. Depending on the exterior color, customers can take home either a matching or contrasting interior.

The steering column can be either classic or electric, while the lightweight air-conditioning system comes standard. Customers interested in spending their weekends at the track rather than touring can have the A/C deleted. The 675LT is also equipped with an audio system, but you're going to have to upgrade to the optional Meridian Surround Sound system for an enhanced musical experience. The Extended Carbon Fiber option adds carbon-fiber door panels.
