Ever since McLaren Automotive announced the 675LT at the Geneva Motor Show in March, we’ve been itching to see the machine designed with a focus on “light weight, optimised aerodynamics, increased power, track-focused dynamics and driver engagement” in action on the track.

Finally, a new clip from the UK-based supercar (and hypercar) maker is giving us a taste of what to expect from the limited edition longtail – and it’s all good.

Built around a carbon fibre MonoCell chassis and featuring a 3.8-litre V8 twin turbo engine pushing 666hp through a 7-speed SSG transmission to the rear wheels, when the 675LT goes on sale (it’s in production at the state-of-the-art McLaren Production Centre in Woking, England, right now), it’ll immediately become the fastest and most powerful of the manufacturer’s ‘Super Series’ cars. With run of just 500, it’s destined to be the most exclusive too.

But enough talk – switch the quality to 4K , crank the volume and hit play!
