New McLaren 675LT 2015 review - pictures

The McLaren 675LT is the first in a series of enhanced LT models to come from the brand. Next in line is the Sports Series 'LT', based on the 570S. 

The 675LT is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine producing a naughty 666bhp and 700Nm of torque. 

The 675LT costs a quarter of the price of the P1, but this latest model is arguably the most impressive car the brand currently builds. 

Alcantara-trimmed interior is as focused as in the 650S.

If the lime green paint doesn't get you noticed, the doors that sprea dlike a pair of wings will. The 675LT's airbrake adds some drama to the profile when you're slowing down, too. 

In Normal mode, the 675LT is fairly docile, but switch to Sport and it comes alive. 

The numbers say the 675LT can get from 0-62mph in just 2.9 seconds and 0-124mph in 7.9 seconds. 

McLaren will be concerned about how the 675 stacks up against the Ferrari 488GTB which costs £75,526 less. 

Despite the significant price difference, we think the McLaren stacks up very well in comparison to the new Ferrari. 

Familiar McLaren touches are present inside. 

Plenty of carbonfibre can be found throughout. 

Pirelli Trofeo rubber serves up amazing grip. 

Vents in the engine cover allow V8 to breathe.

Round exhausts emit a guttural sound when you switch the powertrain to Sport mode.
