765LT - Mclaren's Last Drop of Purity

MCLAREN 765-LT "No Holds Bar"
Let's be frank from 2010 - 2020 we may have been in the biggest bull market in Horsepower outside of the Bitcoin run that suddenly died today on May 23rd, 2021. The cars and the numbers that came out would've upstand anyone calling out supercars in the early '90s. 1000 HP street-legal cars become real such as the Bugatti Chiron, and racing like an F1 driver with the same realistic lap times for a short period become a reality but on a corner or a highway near you. We are now looking at arguably the most formidable yet comfortable F1 machine that you can go purchase off the lot, GT RS, Pista aside.
4.0L TTV8 | 765 HP | 590 LB TQ |
0-60: 2.7 Seconds | 1/4 Mile: 9.8 Seconds | Top Speed: 205 mph drag limited
Tires: Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R, F: 245/35ZR-19 (93Y) MC1 R: 305/30ZR-20 (103Y) MC1
Weight: 2,952 Kerb | Lateral G: 1.18 | Braking 200- 0 KPH: 110 M (to slow down)
The culmination of these attributes makes this on paper the scariest track street monster in the business, but the conclusion in some recent tests shows the adornment of a slightly longer rear, automated hydraulic spoiler, carbon fiber, and side skirts is marginal dependant on tracks. We are speaking of the Sports Autotest that highlighted that the car would not necessarily blow its 720S counterpart out of the water on all tracks but marginally or even match the times of the 720S. With revised gearing, one would think this is not possible but I always argue with folks that travel the track worlds the shorter the length the less I care Nurburing, please.
The monsters changes that make it one-up the 720S, also a rarity

All the spec. sheets don't talk to you what about the times found at VIR when Car and Driver decided to do a lightning lap different strokes for different folks but the only cars that were faster on a straight were the Porshe GT2 RS and the Mclaren Senna. God Bless American's dollar because it starts in the mid 300's but good luck finding one at a dealer who won't add 100 grand.
This may be the last time you get an All engine car in the near future so the values of these are high, your 2nd look at the Mclaren 765LT the last of Turbo V8 memoirs, and so the Hybrids come..........
