McLaren has unveiled the new 765LT and boy, oh boy, it is one impressive speed machine both from the performance and design perspective.

Just as we anticipated, the 765LT is underpinned by the McLaren 720S, which makes for a formidable platform as we saw it was the case with the Senna. That said, here’s all you need to know about the new McLaren 765LT.

Let’s start with performance, shall we? The McLaren 765LT features the same mid-mounted, twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 as the 720S, but retuned to produce 765 PS (754 horsepower) and 800 Nm (590 pound-feet) of twist.

As a result, the McLaren 765LT can blast from zero to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 2.7 seconds and from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 clicks. What’s more, it needs only 7.2 seconds to dispatch the 0-124 mph (200 km/h) interval.

These mind-bending performances are favored by a strict diet that saw the 765LT shave 80 kilos (176 pounds) off its hips compared to the 720S, tipping the scales at 1,339 kilos (2,952 pounds). In addition to that, McLaren tweaked the transmission, which now offers 15% quicker in-gear acceleration.

McLaren didn’t hold back on using a lot of carbon fiber for the following components:

-* front splitter

-* front bumper

-* front floor

-* side skirts

-* rear bumper

-* rear diffuser

-* Longtail active rear wing

Furthermore, the 765LT features a titanium exhaust setup and F1-grade transmission materials, as well as thinner windows with polycarbonate glazing.
