The Gumball 3000 supercar journey will begin in Ho Chi Minh City on September 14. Among the cars coming to Vietnam to attend this event, McLaren has 3 cars participating, which are 2 765LT Spiders, and 1 765LT coupe.
It is known that the McLaren 765LT version has 2 lines: coupe and convertible, each version is limited to 765 units worldwide, of which 2 are convertible versions, and 1 coupe will participate in the Gumball 3000 2024 journey. In Vietnam, there have been 6 765LTs imported with both versions.
The McLaren 765LT is equipped with a carbon fiber aerodynamic package. With this upgrade, the downforce is increased by 25% compared to the 720S Spider. McLaren has limited the defect of the convertible being heavier than the coupe by using technology from F1 racing cars.
Because the car has a body structure made from new technology carbon fiber, a titanium exhaust system with a weight reduction of more than 40%, the same material used to make the gearbox as in F1 racing cars, and a thinner reinforced windshield, the 765LT Spider weighs only 1,388 kg, 49 kg heavier than the coupe version, and 80 kg lighter than the standard 720S Spider.
The RHT carbon fiber roof is electrically adjustable, supporting the opening and closing process in 11 seconds at speeds up to 50 km/h.
The McLaren 765LT Coupe and Spider both use a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine that produces a maximum capacity of 754 horsepower and a maximum torque of 800 Nm.
The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds. The maximum speed of the McLaren 765LT Spider is 330 km/h, equivalent to the Coupe version.
Thanks to the recalibrated engine and 7-speed SSG gearbox, the car can shift gears 15% faster, helping it achieve 0-200 km/h acceleration in just 7.2 seconds.
