McLaren has confirmed that its new track-focused supercar based on the 650S will be called the McLaren 675LT and will have its global premiere at the upcoming 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March.

McLaren 675LT official, minor details revealed

According to McLaren, the “road legal supercar will embody the ‘Longtail’ ethos with a focus on performance optimised aerodynamics, increased downforce, driver engagement, power and reduced weight.” The number ‘675’ in the name denotes the increased output of 675PS (a “devilish”497 kw) and 700 Nm of torque. The model is said to sit just above the 650S supercars and is further described as the “the lightest, the quickest, the purest version in the ‘Super Series’ range.”

More details of the 675LT, including more about its performance figures, will be announced closer to the car’s reveal. However, the company did release a teaser video and mentioned that the 675LT will join the core range of McLaren supercars alongside the existing 650S and Asia-only 625C to form the newly named McLaren Super Series which sits above the recently announced Sports Series. It also mentioned that the car will be offered in coupe bodystyle only when deliveries start later this year.

The bespoke 675LT will feature a redesigned crossover exhaust system formed from lightweight titanium with two circular pipes which go through the exposed bodywork and are positioned below the rear ‘Longtail’ airbrake. According to McLaren, this system has been developed specifically for the 675LT and has been optimized for added performance and weight savings.
