The McLaren 765LT Spider was unveiled in July 2021 as the brand’s most powerful-ever convertible supercar aiming at bringing the highest-levels of driver engagement to the McLaren LT experience. This limited-production supercar features a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 765PS and translating to the best-in-class power-to-weight ratio of 598PS-per-tonne and 800Nm of torque. The 765LT accelerates from 0-100 km/h in only 2.8 seconds, with 0-200 km/h achieved in 7.2 seconds. The specific example handed over in Dubai features a stunning Silica White paint theme, as well as the MSO Clubsport Pack, which reduces the overall weight of the car and increases on-track performance with a portfolio of performance upgrades.

The Artura is the first McLaren to benefit from the McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA). The MCLA is designed, developed and manufactured at the McLaren Composites Technology Centre in the Sheffield region of England using world-first processes and will spearhead the brand’s electrified future.
