The 657LT Spider made its anticipated debut in December, and was everything we hoped for. The fastest convertible the British company has ever produced, the 666-hp terror possesses a revised 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 that launches the supercar to a rocket-like zero to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, and a warp-speed top-end of 203 mph.
McLaren is a fusion of the heralded 1997 F1 GTR “Longtail” racecar, which came second and third overall at that year’s iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the 675LT Coupe. It rocks a good carbon fiber chassis, in addition to an array of other carbon fiber parts. This keeps the 675LT Spider at a lean 2,800 lbs, 220 lbs lighter than McLaren’s 650S Spider.
McLaren is limiting production to just 500 types of the 675LT Spider, starting at $372,600.
