Announced back in 2015, and based on the 650S, the 675LT is one of the most absurd production cars that came out of McLaren’s facilities in the mid 2010s. In it’s heyday, it was easy to overlook the 675LT at the time due to the release of the very limited production P1 throughout 2013-2015. Many collectors and enthusiasts were eager to get their hands on the P1 even though a much more analog vehicle was available.

Sure, the P1 is a true supercar with it’s F1 technology transmission and insane hybrid and twin turbocharged powered V8. However, it enters the realm of limited reach in cost. If we’re really going to get picky, nearly 1,000 combined horsepower is not easy to control or use.

So what does this have to do with the 675LT? The 675LT delivers a near similar experience at 666 horsepower and a kerb weight lower than that of the P1 - for a literal fraction of the price. Marginally less power, no hybrid, and over 100lbs of weight savings. The MSRP of the 675LT in 2015 was $375,000, compare that to the P1 of the time of $1,300,000 and you’ve got enough leftover to buy a Range Rover for the wife, and an M3 for your kid. In today’s reality, the 675LT trades under MSRP while the P1 trades for over double it’s MSRP.

You might also be thinking about the 720S, which came about in 2017. To that I say… no thanks. While prices have fallen and made these cars much more available, they suffer from an analog standpoint. In our personal driving experiences, the 675LT is bittersweet to the 720S - even if the 720S is faster. Besides, most owners aren’t racing these cars, they just want an engaging and collectible street legal sports car. Trust us when we say, it’s better to cough up the extra $100k, especially for something that is soon to become collectible.

Based on our market analysises, we think the 675LT is bound to be a future classic for McLaren. With prices floating just under MSRP, and P1 prices having doubled, who is to say the 675LT won’t?
