LT refers to a model that literally extends the silhouette of a vehicle more than before, just like the name Long Tail, which means a long tail.As the spoilers are longer, the downforce is improved, showing a further upgraded performance.
McLaren has released a total of six models so far since it unveiled its first LT model at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 2015.The first LT model launched by McLaren is the 675 LT.The model is a limited-edition coupe based on McLaren F1 GTR 'Long Tail', which won the class in the 1997 Le Mans 24 Si Endurance Race, and is based on McLaren's mass-produced supercar 650S.As a result, 675LT is considered a crystal that condenses the six key elements that form the basis of McLaren LT philosophy, including perfect communication with drivers, track-centered dynamics, lightweight body, aerodynamic performance optimization, strong power, and sparsity.
Since then, McLaren has introduced five types in a row, including 600LT and 765LT, including coupe and convertible.The most recently launched model is the 765LT Spider, which was unveiled in 2021.It is a limited production model that has impressed the supercar industry with its overwhelming performance that inherits the McLaren racing lineage, and has so far been recognized for its scarcity and high collection value.
The celebration of the 10th anniversary of the launch of LT, organized by McLaren, is customized for McLaren lovers who strongly support McLaren's identity and racing spirit.Detailed programs include LT-only content using the LT model that McLaren owns as a heritage vehicle.McLaren plans to release this content to owners first.In addition, a variety of 10th anniversary events will be held in 2025 including premium ownership experience programs hosted by McLaren Retailers around the world, such as car owners and fan-inviting events and owner driving events, as well as exhibitions and viewing of six iconic LT models with Long Tail badges.
Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, Chief Commercial Officer, McLaren Automotive, said, "Over the past decade, the LT model has realized the essence of McLaren, that is, the performance that never compromises. LT, which gave McLaren fans a thrilling driving experience with strong performance beyond weight, aerodynamics, and limits to maximize driving immersion, is the epitome of pure performance, not model name."
