A highly optioned, low mileage 675LT Spider offering performance, flexibility, and retained originality.

INTRODUCTION

Builds like this are no longer being replicated. The McLaren 675LT Spider represents one of the most focused and engaging driver’s cars of the modern era, combining lightweight engineering, aggressive aerodynamics, and raw performance in a limited production platform.

This example stands apart by offering thoughtful performance enhancements alongside retained originality, including the inclusion of its factory catalytic converters and components. The result is a highly usable and engaging 675LT that can be enjoyed as configured today or returned to stock specification if desired.

With just 6,310 miles, this is a properly exercised yet highly preserved Longtail, delivering an experience that remains increasingly difficult to replicate in today’s market.

PROVENANCE & HISTORY

According to the accompanying CARFAX report, this 675LT Spider shows no accidents or damage reported, along with consistent service history entries and no title concerns. Originally delivered through McLaren Philadelphia in 2016, the vehicle has transitioned through a combination of corporate and private ownership, later residing in Illinois and Tennessee.

The CARFAX reflects six prior owners, which is not uncommon within the collector and enthusiast supercar market, particularly for limited production models that are actively traded among collectors. Mileage progression has remained extremely low throughout ownership, supporting careful and selective use.

Recent service history entries further support continued maintenance and care, aligning with the vehicle’s current condition and presentation.

PERFORMANCE & ENGINEERING

The 675LT Spider is powered by McLaren’s twin turbocharged 3.8 liter V8, producing 666 horsepower and paired to a lightning fast 7 speed dual clutch transmission. Extensive use of carbon fiber throughout the chassis and bodywork, combined with revised aerodynamics and reduced weight, results in a platform that is exceptionally responsive and highly capable on both road and track.

The Longtail designation represents McLaren’s most focused interpretation of its Super Series platform, emphasizing reduced weight, increased power, and heightened driver engagement.

PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENTS

This example is equipped with an M Engineering ECU calibration featuring map switching functionality, offering multiple selectable performance profiles:

Slot 1 91 Octane
Slot 2 91 Octane with enhanced exhaust overrun
Slot 3 93 Octane performance calibration
Slot 4 93 Octane with enhanced exhaust overrun
Slot 5 Cooling mode calibration

Factory level engine protections remain active, including knock control, overboost protection, fuel pressure monitoring, misfire detection, and clutch slip protection.

Unlike many modified examples, this vehicle retains its original catalytic converters and associated heat shielding assemblies, which are included with the sale. This allows the next owner the flexibility to return the car to factory specification if desired, while preserving long term collectibility.

RECENT SERVICE & INSPECTION

Recent service documentation reflects a completed 6th year service performed in June 2023 at approximately 6,100 miles, following McLaren’s factory checklist and inspection procedures.

Service items and checks included:

Full McLaren scheduled service per factory checklist
Engine oil service
Comprehensive mechanical inspection
Brake system inspection and fluid service
Suspension, steering, and drivetrain inspection
Cooling system and radiator inspection
Electrical system and control function checks
Interior systems and electronic functionality verification
Convertible top operation and inspection
Road test and final diagnostic scan

Additional items addressed included key fob functionality, tire pressure adjustment, and evaluation of a check engine light.

The level of documentation and completion of the factory service checklist further supports this example as a properly maintained and sorted 675LT, rather than one that has been deferred or lightly maintained.

CONDITION

The exterior presents in excellent condition with paint and finish consistent with low mileage. The Napier Green finish highlights the aggressive lines and aerodynamic features unique to the Longtail platform. The interior remains well preserved, with Alcantara and leather surfaces showing minimal wear. All electronics, controls, and displays function as intended. This example reflects careful ownership, proper storage, and selective use.

WHAT MAKES THE 675LT SPECIAL

The 675LT is widely regarded as one of the most engaging modern supercars, offering a rare combination of lightweight construction, turbocharged power, and analog driver feel. Limited production numbers and the Longtail designation have positioned the 675LT as one of the most collectible modern McLarens. The Spider variant enhances the experience further, delivering open air engagement without compromising structural performance.

WHY WE LOVE IT

This is a car that delivers an experience few modern vehicles can match. It is aggressive, raw, and highly communicative, yet refined enough to be enjoyed on the road. The addition of map switching provides flexibility, while the inclusion of original components preserves long term value. It is equally compelling as a driver’s car and as a collectible.

PRICING & MARKET POSITIONING

The market for 675LT Spiders continues to show strength, particularly for low mileage, well optioned examples. This example is positioned to offer exceptional value relative to comparable vehicles, especially when factoring in its condition, mileage, documented service, and intelligently executed enhancements with retained factory components. For buyers seeking a properly sorted Longtail without compromise, this represents a compelling opportunity.

SUMMARY

A low mileage, highly desirable McLaren 675LT Spider offering Longtail performance, open air driving, and thoughtful enhancements balanced by retained originality. This is the type of example that satisfies both the enthusiast and the collector, delivering immediate enjoyment with long term upside.
