2021 McLaren 765LT

The McLaren 765LT is the latest bearer of the Longtail name — a lineage stretching back to the F1 GTR that won Le Mans — and this 2021 example makes a strong case for being among the most desirable specifications available. Finished in Onyx Black with the MSO Black Pack (a £14,500 factory option), the exterior treatment is coherent and deliberate: carbon fibre louvres, sill panels, rear aero bridge, and 10-spoke ultra-lightweight forged wheels all finished in gloss black create a car that reads as a single design statement rather than an options list. The Black and Burnt Orange Alcantara interior, with Super-Lightweight Senna Seats, reinforces the track-focused intent without sacrificing everyday usability. At 7,991 miles from new, it has been used — properly — but remains lightly exercised for its age.

The specification extends well into the optional catalogue. The Titanium Sports Exhaust transforms the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8's character on public roads in a way the standard system simply doesn't, and the carbon fibre content runs to the door inserts, centre console, gearshift paddles, and the visible MonoCage II chassis structure itself. Carbon Ceramic Brakes and the Vehicle Lift System complete the practical side. Performance figures from the page — 755 bhp, 2.8 seconds to 62 mph, 205 mph — are those of a car that demands full attention, and the SSG gearbox ensures the power is deployed with minimal interruption.

Full McLaren service history accompanies the car, with PPF applied to the front end, side sills and rear flicks. UK-supplied from new, it comes with a Romans International Platinum Warranty. With global production capped at 765 coupés, and right-hand-drive UK cars representing a fraction of that figure, the 765LT's position as a future collectable looks increasingly secure — this example's spec only reinforces that.
