Lineage & positioning

Replaces

McLaren 675LT ("Longtail" of the preceding generation)

Replaced by

n.a. (the 720S is succeeded by the 750S; no direct "LT" successor to date in this lineage)

Key rivals

Ferrari 488 Pista / F8, Lamborghini Huracán STO, Porsche 911 GT2 RS

Not to be confused with: 720S — the base model for the 765LT 675LT — LT of the preceding Super Series (based on 650S, 500 coupés + 500 Spiders) 600LT — LT of the Sports Series (based on 570S) Coupé vs Spider — identical performance figures, Spider +≈ 49 kg → "LT" = Longtail, heritage of the McLaren F1 GT

Collectability & valuation

Rarity

765 + 765 examples (Spiders all delivered, a number of coupés briefly available) → sought-after; MSO specifications command a premium

Desirability

Most focused Super Series variant, titanium exhaust, weight reduction, widely praised dynamics; original specification, carbon/MSO options and low mileage are key determinants

Points to watch

specialist McLaren servicing required (turbos, DCT clutch); electronics/hydraulics; track use (wear); availability of carbon components (à vérifier)

Market valuation

on request (price bracket + comparables + sources + date; coupé vs Spider differential)
