Motor Trend – 2016 McLaren 675LT Review – Video

 

Have you ever climbed out of a McLaren 650S and said, “Not good enough, I’d like more please?” Us neither, but apparently 500 people had exactly that thought, as every single 675LT has already been sold. Jonny Lieberman manages to get ahold of two of them – red and green – and sets out to answer the question: why? As in why would anyone need more than what the already world challenging 650S offers. Along the way he goes for a ride with SCCA Hall of Famer and fellow Motor Trend host Randy Pobst as the two of them try to figure out what to make of such extreme machines. Is the 675LT worth its extravagant price tag? Watch and find out!
