McLaren 675LT: Pic Of The Week

A bright green supercar sideways at Silverstone? What on earth else could we do?!

---

So the McLaren 675LT is an excellent car on track. We suspected as much given the spec and ability of the regular Super Series McLaren. Just as crucially though it's a fun car on track, as ably demonstrated here and as became clear when Dan drove it. And doesn't it look brilliant?

There are road impressions to follow on the Longtail in due course; can the track-focused McLaren retain the impeccable road behaviour of the standard cars? Is the performance too much away from the circuit? Does green look as good as red? Watch this space for some answers soon!

"And doesn't it look brilliant?"

Subjective questions, and to me no, it does not look good in that shot, rear end looks ungainly/heavy and the front looks fussy. Given this is an iconic pose for any supercar it should look brilliant...

I agree. It doesn't look good.

I cannot put my finger on what makes the car look strange when over-steering too, but I am going to try.

Watch the video and unlike a Porsche 911 or a 458, both which look inherently balanced on 'pivoting from centre', this looks like it is pivoting from the front of the car. It just looks odd in motion.

Aside from that, it is no doubt impressive and a future classic with only 500 being built. I just would prefer a Speciale or a 911 GT3 RS.
