Reference Specs

Engine: 3.8L (3,799cc) twin-turbocharged V8 (M838TL), mid-mounted, uprated over the 650S it is based on
Power / torque: 675PS (666hp/496kW) at 7,100rpm; 700Nm (516lb-ft) at 5,500rpm
0-100km/h / top speed: 2.9 seconds; 330km/h (205mph)
Weight / construction: ~100kg lighter than the donor 650S, with roughly 50% new or modified parts versus that car; extensive carbon-fibre bodywork including a longer, more aerodynamic tail (hence "LT")
Production: 500 Coupes and 500 Spiders (plus a further 25 Spider "Carbon Series" cars), 2015-2016, Woking, England - all pre-sold before the car's public debut

History

The "LT" designation revives the "Longtail" name from the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR "Longtail", a homologation special built for the FIA GT Championship with an elongated tail for better high-speed stability. McLaren applied the same philosophy to the 675LT: starting from the 650S, it stripped weight, added aerodynamic elements including a longer rear bodywork and larger rear wing, and increased power - continuing a "LT" bloodline McLaren has since repeated on the 600LT and 765LT. The 675LT sold out its full 500-unit Coupe run before public reveal, with the later Spider selling out just as quickly. (Wikipedia (McLaren 675LT); The Drive ("The McLaren 675LT Is 666 Horses of Satanic Majesty"); zero2turbo.com - cross-checked)

💡 The 675LT is covered by the same Daytona-operated McLaren Cape Town/Johannesburg dealer network as the rest of this platform's McLaren entries, in place since the marque's 2015 local Sports/Super Series-era launch. With only 13 real examples ever sold new in South Africa (per zero2turbo.com), any 675LT encountered locally today is either one of those original 13 or a private/grey import - get chassis-number-level provenance either way, and confirm carefully that it is genuinely a 675LT (Coupe or Spider) rather than a visually similar 650S, since the two share nearly identical proportions and only the 675LT carries this nameplate's real value premium.

⚠️ Pitfalls To Watch For

No real South African transaction price exists: Only a real South Africa-specific ownership count (13 units) was found, not a sale - get an independent local valuation rather than comparing to any figure on this page.
MSO customisation and spec create a real, wide value spread: A stock delivery-mileage Spider made $224,000 in 2020 while an MSO-liveried Coupe made $313,000 in 2025 (roughly 40% higher) - confirm the exact specification, MSO content and history before relying on either figure.
Visual similarity to the far more common 650S: The 675LT shares its basic silhouette with the higher-volume 650S - verify the chassis plate and confirm genuine 675LT-specific bodywork and badging before paying this nameplate's premium.

An Enthusiast Investor's Take

Beyond the Numbers

Three real, dated figures were found for the 675LT: its 2015 launch MSRP, and two independently-verifiable auction sales five years apart that show the same nameplate moving in different directions depending on condition and specification. A stock 2016 675LT Spider with genuine delivery mileage (60 miles) made only $224,000 at RM Sotheby's Amelia Island sale in March 2020 - below its original $349,500 Coupe MSRP - while a 2016 675LT Coupe finished in a unique McLaren Special Operations (MSO) Marlboro Racing-style livery, with 3,048 miles, made $313,000 including premium at Bonhams' Quail Lodge sale in August 2025, a real illustration of how heavily MSO customisation and spec rarity can move a nominally identical car's value. No real South African transaction was found in any source checked, but a genuine, dated South Africa-specific scarcity figure was: motoring site zero2turbo.com reported on 16 March 2017 that exactly 13 675LTs had been sold new in South Africa - 8 Coupes and 5 Spiders - making it one of the rarest real-world nameplates on South African roads even measured against this platform's own rarer entries.

Why This Is an R299 Investment-Grade Report

A real physical appraiser charges R1,800-R10,000 for an in-person inspection and certificate - this is not that. An AutoLytiQs Investment-Grade report on the McLaren 675LT is a desk-based report: the real value trajectory, specs, and history shown above, applied to a specific listing you're considering. R299 reflects that genuine extra content over the standard report at only R69, priced well under what a certified physical inspection costs - because it isn't one.
