How fast is the McLaren 765LT?

It’s powered by a 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 tuned to 755 hp (765 PS) and 590 lb‑ft of torque. This yields a 0‑60 mph (0‑100 km/h) sprint in around 2.7–2.8 seconds, and a claimed top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph).

How many were made?

Production of the coupe was strictly limited to 765 units worldwide. The convertible Spider variant was also capped at 765 units.

What’s the difference between the coupe and Spider?

The Spider is the open-top version unveiled in July 2021. It has nearly identical performance, though in testing the 0‑60 mph time was closer to 2.9 seconds and the quarter-mile around 10.3 seconds @ 142 mph.

Is it just a 720S with a bigger engine?

The 765LT builds on the 720S platform with extensive enhancements: lighter construction (≈ 80 kg lighter), more aggressive aerodynamics (≈ 25% more downforce), a titanium quad exhaust, and a gearbox with a “limit downshift” feature among other upgrades.

How track‑focused is it?

Extremely. It features carbon‑fiber racing seats, thin glass, deleted sound deadening, F1‑inspired brake cooling that reduces pad temperature by up to 50 °C, and track brake upgrades from the Senna model.

Is it comfortable for long drives?

Not really. It’s a stripped-down supercar for performance, meaning minimal insulation, stiff suspension, and lightweight seats. While comfort mode softens the ride, the experience is undeniably raw.

What personalization options are offered by MSO?

Over 85% of coupe buyers used MSO (McLaren Special Operations) customization. They offer two MSO Defined packs: the Clubsport Pack (track upgrades and telemetry) and the Black Pack (stealth styling), as well as bespoke color, trim, and material options.

Are there recalls or known issues?

Yes: in late 2024, McLaren recalled 163 units of the 2021 coupe due to potential rear window detachment at speeds over ~96 mph. The Spider and coupes with roof scoops were unaffected.

Driver Questions from Enthusiast Forums

From Reddit threads and enthusiast discussions:
• Concern about seat comfort: carbon fibre seats offer great weight savings but aren’t ideal for long journeys. Touring or leather options may be preferable.
• Driving challenge: Some owners mention the throttle and handling demand respect, advising easing in with prior experience in high-power vehicles.
