## What does LT stand for on a McLaren?

Longtail. The name goes back to the extended-tail F1 GTR racing cars of the 1990s, and McLaren now applies it to the hardest version of a given model. An LT gets more power, less weight, more aggressive aerodynamics and shorter gearing. The 765LT is the Longtail version of the 720S, and it is a noticeably more serious car.

## How is the 765LT different from a 720S?

Power rises to 755bhp, roughly 80kg comes out through carbon-fibre panels, a titanium exhaust and thinner glass, and the gearing is shortened so it accelerates harder between corners. The suspension is stiffer, the front track wider and the aerodynamics generate more downforce. On the road it is louder and firmer; on a circuit it is a different proposition entirely.

## Is it comfortable enough for road use?

Less so than a 720S, and that is deliberate. The seats are thinner, there is less sound deadening and the ride is firm over poor surfaces. It remains usable — the nose lifts to clear speed bumps and the cabin is dry and civilised — but the 765LT was built around a circuit and it never entirely stops reminding you of that.

## What does a 765LT cost to hire?

A refundable £30,000 deposit and a £25,000 insurance excess apply, with 12,000 miles a year included and £8 a mile beyond. With only 765 coupes built, we confirm a specific car with the supplying partner rather than promising a model.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I hire a McLaren 765LT in the UK?

We can source one, subject to confirmation. Only 765 coupes were built worldwide and few are offered for hire, so we check availability against your dates before quoting anything firm.

### How rare is the 765LT?

The coupe was limited to 765 cars globally, with a separate run of 765 Spiders. That is small even by McLaren standards, and it is why the car is arranged by request rather than listed as available stock.

### Is the 765LT suitable for a track day?

It is one of the few road cars genuinely designed for it. Track use has to be agreed in advance, because it changes both the insurance position and the wear terms. Tell us the circuit and the date and we will confirm what the supplying partner allows.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
