McLAREN 765LT SPIDER
Woking’s track-focused ‘Long Tail’ flagship arrives in open-top form
There have been quite a few headlines circling around McLaren of late. Rumour and tetchy counter-rumour about its future have combined with the recent departure of its CEO to fill the air with some degree of intrigue and suspicion. But away from frontpage news stories, the brand has simply been trying to get on with the straightforward business of being a car company and adding to its ever-increasing model line-up.
With the eagerly anticipated Artura on hold, next in line for an unveiling is the 765 LT Spider, the drop-top version of the f lagship of its track-hardened Long Tail line-up. Claimed to be the fastest convertible the brand has ever produced, it also promises to add an extra dollop of driver engagement, which, given how immersive and synapse-snapping the coupé has already proved to be, is quite some statement of intent.
