One to Buy: 2800km MSO-equipped 2017 McLaren 675LT Spider
Twelve months after the critically acclaimed 650S had been unveiled as a replacement for the MP4 12C, McLaren presented an even more focused elaboration of the theme at Geneva in March 2015.
The 675LT that emerged featured a comprehensive array of enhanced equipment; the engine and exhaust system were uprated along with the gearbox software, a new aero kit was installed, the brakes, wheels and tyres also came in for attention and, in standard trim, the interior was simplified.
With less weight, more power and limited edition status (just 500 regular Coupe variants would be constructed), the 675LT flew off the shelves in impressive fashion.
In December 2015, McLaren revealed a 675LT Spider would also be offered in a limited run of 500 units, one of which is currently on the market with L’Art de l’Automobile in Paris.
Delivered to McLaren Brussels in November 2016 and first registered in January 2017, this spectacular example of the highly sought after 675LT Spider was configured in the superbly well-suited colour scheme of Sapphire Black Metallic with two-tone Carbon Black and McLaren Orange upholstery.
The enormous list of optional equipment fitted at the factory includes the McLaren Special Operations front wing louvres and carbonfibre airbrake, lift system, Super Lightweight forged wheels with Diamond Cut finish and the carbonfibre interior upgrade, exterior upgrade, wheel arches, side vents and door mirros.
The first owner also elected to have climate control and a sound system installed (both of which were no-cost options on the 675LT).
Having covered just 2800km from new, and with service history exclusively at McLaren Brussels, this must be one of the finest 675LT Spiders in existence.

The McLaren 675 LT Spider that we are offering for sale is sublime, thanks to the superb Sapphire Black metallic paintjob, which is actually a dark blue evolving with the exterior light. It goes perfectly with the daring choice of the McLaren Orange leather interior combined with Carbon Black Alcantara. The result is an incredible, elegant and sporty configuration, especially since many carbon options on the exterior have been chosen, extending to the airbrake and mirror arms. The car benefits from MSO louvers on the front wings. It also has many options including telemetry, the splendid Super Lightweight Diamond Cut wheels, the reversing camera and the lift, the car was invoiced around €415,000 when ordered!
Delivered by McLaren Brussels where it has since been exclusively monitored, this car is a very low mileage first hand, displaying only 2,800 kms. Its tires are new and it was serviced in July 2024. In clinical condition, having never been repainted and having never put a wheel on a racetrack, it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful examples currently available of this superb, very limited and coveted model. We have all of its documents, as well as its purchase and maintenance invoices. This McLaren has recoverable VAT and is under McLaren warranty until February 2025.
The McLaren 675 LT is the radical version of the 650 S, produced in a limited edition. When it was released, it was presented as the lightest, most driver-focused and most exclusive production McLaren supercar ever built. Thanks to its Monocell carbon fibre body, the 675 LT offers an incredible combination of lightness, safety and rigidity. Introduced a year after the coupe, the 675 LT Spider was produced in 500 examples.
The enemy in the design of this car is therefore clearly weight, so we find in addition to the Lightweight carbon fiber racing seats, ultra-light forged alloy wheels and Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo R tires, ceramic brakes or an improved suspension system incorporating technology from the McLaren P1. The Spider version of the 675 LT saves 100 kg compared to the 650 S Spider.
Its 3.8L twin-turbo V8 developing 675 hp and 700 nm of torque for only 1,230 kg empty makes it an incredibly fast car. Coupled with the 7-speed Seamless-Shift dual-clutch gearbox, this car is capable of atomizing 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and 0 to 120 mph in just 8.1 seconds, for a maximum speed of 205 mph.
