Most Powerful Convertible in McLaren’s LT Series The McLaren 765LT Spider is the most powerful open-top car in McLaren’s Longtail (LT) lineup, featuring incredible performance while retaining the LT focus on lightweight and track-oriented driving.
Twin-Turbocharged V8 Engine It houses a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 765 PS (755 hp) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque, enabling exceptional acceleration and power delivery.
Blistering Acceleration The 765LT Spider sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.8 seconds and reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) in 7.2 seconds, making it one of the fastest convertibles in the world.
Retractable Hardtop Roof The Spider features an electrically operated retractable hardtop that opens or closes in just 11 seconds, allowing drivers to enjoy open-air driving without compromising structural integrity.
Lightweight Engineering Extensive use of carbon fiber in the chassis, body panels, and interior helps keep the Spider’s weight to just 1,388 kg (3,060 lbs) (dry weight), only 49 kg (108 lbs) heavier than the coupe version.
Active Aerodynamics and Extended Rear Wing The 765LT Spider incorporates an active rear wing and aerodynamic upgrades like larger front splitters and rear diffusers, improving downforce and high-speed stability.
Limited Production Run McLaren limited production to just 765 units worldwide, making the 765LT Spider a highly exclusive and collectible supercar.
Track-Focused Suspension The car features the Proactive Chassis Control II suspension system, ensuring precise handling and adaptability whether on the road or at the track.
Minimalist, Driver-Centric Interior The interior emphasizes weight savings with carbon fiber racing seats, Alcantara trim, and a driver-focused layout, while comfort and infotainment features remain available.
Part of McLaren’s “Longtail” Heritage As part of the LT series, the 765LT Spider embraces McLaren’s philosophy of increased power, reduced weight, and enhanced aerodynamics, continuing the legacy of legendary models like the F1 GTR Longtail.

The 765LT Spider is the ultimate open-air McLaren—a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (755hp) with carbon fiber everything, retractable hardtop, and only 765 built. A future collectible that’s already commanding premiums.
