Bespoke Permance by Mclaren

Bespoke Performance

Mclaren Automotive, the manufacturer of luxury high performance supercars, recently delivered a singular prototype of the limited-volume, sold-out Mclaren 765LT. The unique supercar features a wealth of exclusive personalisation options implemented by the in-house bespoke division of Mclaren.

Mclaren Special Operations (MSO) is responsible for the dramatic bodywork of the Mclaren 765LT, finished in a ‘colour-shifting’ Cerberus Pearl paintwork, exuding hues of blue, purple, gold, and orange. The front splitter, rear bumper, side skirts, as well as the mirror casings and air intakes, are finished in gloss carbon fibre highlighting the uncompromisingly lightweight engineering philosophy of the iconic British icon. A fullyfunctional roof scoop, 10-spoke Ultra-lightweight wheels in gloss black finish, and Mclaren Orange brake calipers further enhance the visual drama of this beauty.

Extensive personalisation continues inside the focused cabin of the Mclaren 765LT, highlighted with satin carbon fibre finishes, as well as bespoke Mclaren Orange door inserts, speaker surrounds, and seatbelts, bearing subtle reference to the racing heritage of the brand. The trackoriented interior is further complemented by the addition of the titanium harness bar and six-point harness.

“We are honoured to complete delivery of this highlypersonalised example of the Mclaren 765LT to one of our discerning customers. This extraordinary creation is a real showcase of the skills and craftsmanship represented by the team at Mclaren Special Operations, which continue to inspire our current and future owners. Over 25% of all Mclaren 765LTS intended for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa will feature a high-degree of personalisation and we look forward to concluding final regional deliveries of this sell-out supercar by the end of Summer,” said Brett Soso, Managing Director – Europe, Middle East & Africa.

The origins of Mclaren Special Operations date back approximately 30 years. This division superseded the Mclaren Customer Care Programme that was set up in the early 1990s to service, maintain, and personalise the Mclaren F1. Today, MSO offers a complete tailoring service for any Mclaren model and continues to expand under tiers of personalisation to include MSO Defined, covering series options. MSO Bespoke offers a near limitless level of personalisation, MSO Limited creating limited-run, and special editions of the latest Mclaren vehicles and MSO Heritage, which is responsible for maintenance of the legacy models of the brand, such as the Mclaren F1.

Lighter, more powerful and with even higher levels of performance on both road and track, when compared to LT predecessors, the Mclaren 765LT is the latest addition to a line of ‘Longtail’ Mclarens and the most dynamically advanced and engaging Lt-model in the history of Mclaren Automotive.

The vehicle opened a new chapter in the ‘Longtail’ story that began with the Mclaren F1 GTR race car in the 1990s and elevates the attributes that underpin every LT to a new level of extreme design, driver engagement, track-focused dynamics, minimised weight, optimised aerodynamics, and increased power. The LT promise of being ‘limited to the few’ is also fulfilled, with only 765 individually numbered cars available globally, which are all spoken for.

The new 765LT is the most powerful and responsive roadlegal Mclaren LT to date. This 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 Mclaren M840T engine delivers peak power of 562 kw

at 7 500 rpm and maximum torque of 800 Nm at 5 500 rpm, which together translate to benchmark acceleration figures of 2.8 seconds from 0-100 km/h and 7.2 seconds from 0-200 km/h.

An 80 kg weight reduction over the Mclaren 720S further contributes to the extremely immersive driving experience that the 765LT delivers.
