The McLaren 720S is the current evolution of the Super Series, the series that has been around since the 12C, the very first McLaren they've made after the divorce between McLaren and Mercedes-Benz. With its challenging but cutting-edge, motorsport-inspired dynamics, the 720S sure knows the true meaning of respect from those who treat it right.
However, those who demand more respect than the normal 720S should consider its pumped-up version, the 765LT, the prize car that can be obtained from the FH5 Series 6 Storm Season Playlist.
So, what's it all about the McLaren 765LT, you may ask?
The McLaren 765LT is the third Longtail model unveiled since the 650S-based 675LT and the 570S-based 600LT. It's the most potent Longtail ever built as it incorporates most of the know-how from McLaren's motorsport experience and features an upgraded version of the 4.0L V8 Twin Turbo engine producing 755HP of power and 590ft-lb of torque. Mated to a double-clutch gearbox, it does 0-60mph in less than three seconds. Because of its 1,229kg dry weight courtesy of its extensive carbon fiber use, it has a power-to-weight ratio of 622PS per tonne, beating rivals by over 50PS per tonne. Apart from that, the 765LT features a hydraulically actuated rear wing with three main operational positions; Driver Downforce, DRS, and High-Speed Braking.
How does it compare to the 720S? The 765LT is more potent and crazier to drive compared to the 720S and because it delivers so much power, it takes an expert to handle this monster machine like a boss. Call it a road-legal track toy but it's definitely more than that because the 765LT pushes the definition of what makes a McLaren, well, a McLaren.
To test this notion, it's time to give the 765LT a moment it will never forget and with that, it's a leisurely street race against the best hypercars gathered in the Mexican desert. Hold on to your seats, folks, because it's going to be a crazy ride. Roll the tape.
The craziest moment pulled by a potent McLaren. Makes you want to do it again, huh?
The 765LT demonstrated to the world what happens when you turn the already crazy-but-wonderful 720S into the ultimate expression of the Super Series that possesses motorsport levels of fun and excitement on the open road. It may be a track toy but it's road legal and that's how McLaren rocks.
Enjoy your new ride!
