McLaren has a new sports car, following the McLaren 765LT, the official new 765LT Spider with the nose lift function, the convertible version of the 765 is coming.
As the company's "Super" top car, the McLaren 765LT has the same DNA as the 720S, but the body aerodynamic design is better, and the vehicle uses a large number of carbon fiber components. As a derivative of the 765LT, the 765LT Spider, like the Coupe version, adopts a global limited supply, with a quota of only 765 units, and a single starting price of less than $400,000 in overseas regions.
The biggest difference between this "long-tail" sports car and the regular version is the foldable and retractable hard top, in order to reduce weight, the roof is made of carbon fiber frame, and the official said that it can complete the roof retracting action within 11 seconds at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour. However, the actual experience duration is about 17 seconds. Unlike the McLaren 675LT Spider, the 765LT Spider transforms the roof retractor from a hydraulic pump to an electric motor, further speeding up folding.
The original hydraulic pump mechanism to retract the ceiling needs to follow the steps step by step, after replacing it with an electric motor, the retracting and discharging action of each component is carried out almost simultaneously. The system consists of eight motors, two of which are responsible for folding the roof, two for lifting the roof, two for controlling the posture of the flaps on both sides when the roof is retracted, and the last two for the rear window.
The roof cover covering of the rear roof storage space is made of a whole piece of carbon fiber, and the dynamic flow of air on both sides of the seat is designed, and the center is equipped with a glass rear window, even if the roof is opened, the rear window can also be lowered separately, at this time the exhaust sound wave will be more directly poured into the cockpit.
The 765LT Spider is equipped with four titanium exhausts and is distributed in a central arrangement, which is a trend and attitude of supercars. McLaren said this layout greatly maintains the integrity of the chassis, the rear carbon fiber diffuser can be directly connected to the chassis, and since the stiffness and strength of the titanium exhaust is high enough, the exhaust system does not require additional support. In terms of wheels, the 765LT Spider uses a set of ultra-light forged wheels, and the tires are selected from the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R series.
This car is to support the original su car under the track, the vehicle air power kit is further optimized, with an active rear wing, the engineers have readjusted its angle, can adapt to open the roof and close the roof two modes, the official said that the dynamic tail of the new car compared to the 720S Spider and then increase the air downforce by more than 25%. At the same time, the opening and closing of the ceiling also have an impact on the suspension, and in order to adapt to the increase in weight, the engineers also recalibrated the vehicle suspension system.
In terms of body weight, the 765LT Spider is heavier than the regular version, 49kg more, reaching 1388kg, but 80kg lighter than the 720S Spider. To reduce weight, McLaren noted that the 765LT Spider front lip, front bar, door hinges, side skirts, rear bars and active rear fins are all made of carbon fiber.
To reduce the under-spring mass, the 765LT Spider uses ultra-light forged wheels that weigh 22kg lighter per wheel than non-light forged wheels. In addition, the use of titanium exhaust systems and lightweight batteries can reduce the weight of the whole vehicle. In addition, if you want to further reduce weight, McLaren also provides carbon fiber front trunk covers, door trim and front and rear fenders to replace the original aluminum parts, a set down to another 6kg.
The 765LT Spider cabin style is still very McLaren family style, centered on the track, the seats are carbon fiber shell, 18kg lighter than the 720S. Alcantara fabric is ubiquitous throughout the interior, with an 8-inch vertical touchscreen on the centre console and an angled tilt on the driver's side.
That's right! It must be told that the original 765LT Spider does not come with air conditioning and a four-speaker sound system, mainly for weight reduction. If you need it, you can choose it, of course, it doesn't cost money. But you want a Bower&W health speaker, and it costs money.
The 765LT Spider uses the same 4.0T twin-turbo V8 engine as the Coupe, with a maximum power of up to 765 horsepower, 755 horsepower when the engine speed reaches 7500 rpm, and a torque of 800 Nm at 5000 rpm, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the acceleration of 100 km/h takes only 2.7 seconds, and the acceleration performance is actually the same as that of the Coupe. In addition, McLaren said that the new car accelerates at 0-200 km/h in just 7.2 seconds, quarter-mile acceleration in 10 seconds, and a top speed of 330 km/h.
Finally, the price, the current price of the 765LT Spider in overseas regions is 388,000 US dollars (about 2.47 million yuan) in the United States and 310,500 pounds (about 2.67 million yuan) in the United Kingdom.
The McLaren 765LT Spider also offers two optional packages, "Clubsport" and "LT Black.".
Clubsport contains:
Lightweight weight reduction, improved vehicle circuit performance, McLaren track recorder, ultra-light carbon fiber seats, McLaren Senna's same carbon ceramic brake discs and customized brake pads.
LT Black contains:
Glossy black parts at the rear of the seat, front lip, rear bar with air diffuser, air intake part, exterior mirror housing, etc.
