FIRST LOOK | McLaren 765LT: could McLaren's latest Longtail be quicker than a Senna? | Top Gear

Welcome internet, to the McLaren 765LT, the latest Macca to get the Longtail treatment and a car that produces a whopping 45bhp more than the already-ballistic 720S. But that’s not all. Increased downforce and reduced weight – some 80kgs less – makes you wonder: just how much could this new McLaren trouble the Senna?

Well then, Senna or 765LT, which would you take home?

The 765lt doesn't have all panels made of carbon. You can get the rear quarters (pretty sure this is what the option refers to), the hood and the wing in full carbon and the trim. That's it.

But Motorweek said it does 0-60 in 2.7; the old 2019 720S does it in 2.8

no thanks I'll just keep my 720's spider why should I pay all that extra money for almost the same performance after all I am not going to be on a racetrack. The comfort is way better in the 720's I'm sure that is 7 6 5

another thing I noticed my 720's when it reaches very high speeds it bounces on the roads where I live I live in the Northeast.My Lamborghini performante feels way more planted even though it is slower in a straight line.I actually prefer I have your car so it doesn't bounce so much it is quite terrifying at high speeds already in a 720's. I can't imagine how much this car will be bouncing all over probably very much like a turbo S

I'd rather wish the vehicle a bit heavier that use polycarbonate materials for some parts of it.

If this depreciates as much as the 720s that'll be 👌

Porsche 917 for the road.
With full 21stC upgrades.
Drives comfortable when you want it takes your scalp when pushed.
Just as I imagined it would be back in the '70's.
Thanks McLaren.

You'd wanna hope so. The senna isnt that quick in a straight line. Its not what its made for, its all downforce and corners

Um, no its not McLaren’s first quad exhaust system, remember the 1992-1998 McLaren F1 had 4

Well considering the 720s has like 800 hp this should have about 900

Can someone please answer me this. This is a massively quick car, but what I've noticed about mclaren is that they dont have 4wd in their cars which would make them even more faster to sixty.

Well then, how does not speccing a/c in your own car give you pleasure from harming others ie. sadist?? You meant masochist, and I'm not even going to mention the '675' gaffe and 'four quad' ie. 16 exhausts. Perhaps consider getting an editor.

The 720s was a lambo killer and this thing is more powerful. Damn.
