SUCCESSFUL entrepreneurs wanting to celebrate a great trading year have two new contenders for their wish list with the unveiling of the McLaren 675LT and the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Both claim to be race track focused but still able to cope with all the pot-holed UK roads on your way to the latest business development meeting.
The McLaren 675LT claims to be will be the lightest, most powerful and fastest model in the McLaren Super Series and also the most exclusive: production will be strictly limited to just 500 examples worldwide.

The limited production model has a clear focus on lightweight, optimised aerodynamics, increased power, track-focused dynamics and driver engagement. At its core is the lightweight carbon fibre MonoCell chassis, shared with each model in the Super Series, but the chassis set up and powertrain are bespoke, with a third of overall parts and components modified.

A more aggressive set up gives the 675LT a unique track-focused feel, while still retaining the adjustable ProActive Chassis Control to ensure drivability and comfort levels are maintained. One of the many updates featured on the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ was a wider track, front and rear. This approach is echoed in the 675LT, with the front and rear track widened by 20mm, ensuring optimised stability and handling performance. The obsession with weight saving sees the 675LT tip the scales at just 1,230kg (dry weight), making it the lightest model in the already lightweight Super Series, with a saving of more than 100kg.
