The McLaren 765LT Spider: extreme performance and new heights of driver engagement from McLaren's most powerful-ever convertible supercar


  • Limited-volume #765ltspider revealed; available to order now
  • Exclusive and highly collectible: just 765 will be built to customer order – the same individually numbered total as the sold-out coupe
  • New convertible LT delivers another dimension of ‘Longtail’ driver engagement
  • Electrically operated, one-piece carbon fibre Retractable Hard Top (RHT) lowers or raises in just 11 seconds, at speeds of up to 50km/h (31mph), to enhance driving experience
  • Powered rear window allows searing ‘LT soundtrack’ from quad-exit, full titanium exhaust system to be enjoyed to the full, even with the roof in place
  • 765PS and 800Nm from 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged #mclaren V8 enables 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds, 0-100km/h (62mph) in 2.8 seconds and 0-200km/h (124mph) in 7.2 seconds
  • The fastest accelerating LT Spider ever – 15% quicker in-gear acceleration than 720S – with transmission gearing optimised for driver engagement
  • Even greater focus on minimising weight – 80kg lighter than 720S Spider at 1,388kg (DIN weight) and just 49kg heavier than 765LT coupe
  • Convertible class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 598PS-per-tonne at lightest dry weight
  • High-performance lightweight materials feature throughout, with advanced carbon fibre technologies used for body components
  • Specific weight-saving components include titanium exhaust system (saving 40% over steel equivalent), Formula 1-grade transmission materials and thinner glass
  • Same carbon fibre aerodynamic package as the coupe – front splitter and front floor, side skirts, front and rear bumper and rear diffuser – but with active rear wing calibrated for roof up/roof down positions
  • Class-leading aerodynamic downforce – 25% more than 720S Spider
  • Enhanced chassis dynamics, with bespoke LT springs and dampers, increased front track width, lower front ride height and unique software programming for linked-hydraulic Proactive Chassis Control II suspension
  • Standard-fit 10-spoke Ultra-Lightweight forged alloy wheels and bespoke P Zero™ Trofeo R tyres developed by #mclaren technical partner, Pirelli
  • Motorsport-inspired interior with carbon fibre racing seats, carbon fibre centre tunnel, exposed carbon fibre floor and lightweight Alcantara® throughout
  • Air-conditioning and audio system not included as standard to save weight, but can be specified at no additional cost
  • MSO Clubsport Pack and MSO LT Black Pack available, plus multiple individual MSO options

Renowned worldwide for the exclusive, luxury, high-performance supercars on which it has built its reputation over the past decade, #mclaren #automotive today reveals another landmark model: the #765ltspider.

Complementing the 765LT ‘Longtail’ coupe unveiled last year – all of which are sold – the new Spider is McLaren’s most powerful-ever convertible #supercar and brings highest-ever levels of driver engagement to the #mclaren LT experience. Engineered in addition with the other core attributes intrinsic to any #mclaren Longtail – minimised weight, track-focused dynamics and optimised aerodynamics – the #765ltspider has all of the class-leading abilities of the coupe and also meets the LT demand for exclusivity: just 765 cars will be available globally for customer order.

Carrying over the coupe’s dynamic and aerodynamic DNA with no structural compromise and only a minimal 49kg weight increase – primarily from the retractable hard top and accompanying operating mechanism – the #765ltspider weighs in at just 1,388kg (DIN weight), which is 80kg lighter than a 720S Spider and circa 100kg lighter than its closest comparable competitor.

The electrically operated, one-piece carbon fibre Retractable Hard Top (RHT) enables open-top motoring in just 11 seconds and operates at speeds of up to 50km/h, bringing the dramatic soundtrack of the quad-exit titanium exhaust system into the cabin to take driver engagement into another dimension.

“As we continue to build the LT sub-brand with the introduction of the new #765ltspider, it’s clear that our customers are increasingly attracted to the Longtail #supercar proposition of exhilarating, extreme performance and limited availability. With all 765 examples of the 765LT coupe sold, it’s no surprise that as we publicly announce our new LT Spider, production capacity for 2021 is already filled.”
Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer, #mclaren Automotive
