New one-off McLaren 676LT by MSO pays homage to the McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’
Mclaren Special Operations or MSO has unveiled its latest bespoke creation in the form of the Mclaren F1 GTR 'longtail'-inspired Mclaren 675 LT. The team used a standard 675LT as a base and added a paint light blue, black and orange paint scheme inspired specifically by the 1997 Gulf-Davidoff GTC Team racer which wore the iconic blue/orange Gulf Oil livery. The 675LT also gets a bespoke set of 20-inch alloy wheels finished in Daylo Orange. These changes have been accentuated by a number of exterior enhancements from the MSO catalogue like the front lower lip, side skirts, and diffuser. New exterior components to complement these are a set of louvred front fenders, a roof scoop, and a carbon fibre airbrake. Mechanically, this 675LT carries over the standard car's 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 good for 675PS and 700Nm. The supercar gets from 0 to 100 kmph in 2.9s and goes on to a top speed of 330 kmph.

Tweet TweetMcLaren has built the best supercars in the entire world competing in the best competitions, like Formula 1, and surpassing its rivals with its perfect machineries. It is also the case of this exquisite and legendary 1992 McLaren F1, which has been recently driven by EVO. The professionals from EVO have started driving the McLaren F1, just to find out if the supercar is worth receiving the laurels that used to make every McLaren fan proud, whenever it would compete in a Formula race, 17 years ago. But in case you want more, than just hit the play button and enjoy the ride. As a reminder for those who know nothing about McLaren F1, the supercar was produced between 1992 and 1998 in just 106 units, the manufacturing being done in Woking, Surrery, England.

Here’s a look at the car’s conception, its early struggles and that now-legendary top-speed run. Introducing Meme Plates!

McLaren F1 successor is well under way
Tweet TweetThe British at McLaren may have a heart in racing, particularly in Formula 1, but with the introduction of the MP4-12C they may have gotten a taste of road going models as well. Even though they made a racing version of the McLaren MP4-12C, they are keeping to their word and making plenty of new road going models. The nearest one of these new road going models will be an epic follow-up model of their first ever road car, the iconic McLaren F1. Destined to fight off the fastest cars in the world, this McLaren F1 replacement will be using a new 5.0 liter V8, twin turbocharged just like the current one in the MP4-12C only it will produce much more power. Early estimates put the output of the new McLaren F1 at around 800 horsepower and it will be mated to a newly developed dual clutch seven speed gearbox. Key elements of a new McLaren would be designing and then redesigning every component of the F1 until it meets their very stringent requirements. In keeping these power and … [Read more...] about McLaren F1 successor is well under way
