If you want a swanky sports car from an international niche marque, then McLaren Automotive is an excellent bet. This British brand has some of the most swoon-worthy cars on the planet, and these speed machines have almost no trouble finding owners in almost any part of the world. So far, McLaren has retailed some of its finest models in the UAE – each deserving of praise by their own. However, now, we have finally got the all-new and limited-run 765LT Spider on sale.

Mclaren 765LT Spider

The new McLaren 765LT Spider (and its Longtail coupe sibling) is based on the 720S, which has been around since 2017. You must be wondering, though, if it’s indeed a limited-run vehicle, how many examples of the 765LT Spider does McLaren intend on making? Well, the answer to that is in the name itself – “765”. This means that there will only be 765 units made for the whole world, which will make this quite an exclusive ownership experience.

How much of an eye candy is the McLaren 765LT Spider?

McLarens aren’t what you’d call as boring cars. Obviously, no one buys these street missiles to fly under the radar. And when it comes to the 765LT Spider, the angry-looking front fascia just happens to coincide with the chiseled and well-tailored body really quite well. Meanwhile, the neatly-sculpted rear of the McLaren 765LT Spider is occupied by slim LED taillights, an active rear wing, mid-mounted & quad titanium exhausts, and fully functional rear air curtains, vents, plus an aggressive diffuser.

As we all know, McLaren is pathologically obsessed with weight. This means that engineers have tried to trim fat wherever possible. In the 765LT Spider’s case, there’s bespoke forged alloy wheels (with lightweight titanium bolts), carbon-fiber front splitter, front bumper, lower door blades & side skirts, and a one-piece carbon fiber front floor. Furthermore, there’s also lightweight aluminium used for the hood, front & rear fenders, and the door panels. All of these lower the mass of the McLaren 765LT Spider by an appreciable amount, which comes in at 1,388 kg.

Keep no doubts, this is one of the most sensual-looking convertible supercars out there. The McLaren 765LT Spider is, without a shadow of doubt, an absolute eye candy. The exterior of the 765LT Spider also comes brandishing specialized carbon fiber structural supports that are designed to bear the brunt of a rollover, along with McLaren’s state-of-the-art MonoCage II monocoque super-structure. Of course, there’s also the beautifully-crafted carbon-fiber retractable convertible roof. However, some might still mistake this limited-run model for the ‘regular’ 720S Spider – sigh!

Since it’s part of McLaren’s supercar series, the interior of the new 765LT Spider is far from the drabbest place on the planet. Then there’s the acres and acres of Alcantara and carbon fiber that cover almost every square millimeter of this cabin. Even the carbon-fiber bucket seats are almost the same as the ones found in the exquisite P1 hypercar. Compared to the 765LT Coupe, the dihedral doors of the Spider are smaller and lighter but extend further out once opened.

While most clients won’t give two hoots about practicality, the McLaren 765LT Spider can carry 150 liters worth of luggage in its front boot. The driver is clearly the focus in this cabin, with all the controls and center pedestal angled towards the person behind the wheel. Meanwhile, the 765LT Spider’s features list consists of McLaren Track Telemetry, Active Dynamics Panel, an 8-inch Central Infotainment Screen, a Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system, a Folding Driver Display, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, and carbon-fiber flappy paddles.

The oomph under all that carbon fiber, aluminium and external glory

Obviously, it won’t be much of a track car if the 765LT Spider flunks when it comes to what’s under the hood. Powered by McLaren’s hand-tuned 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, there’s 755hp and 800Nm of maximum twisting force available for you to command. Engaging launch control will prime the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox to channel all of the engine’s oomph to the rear wheels. Upon actual launch, the McLaren 765LT Spider will smash past 100 kmph in just 2.8 seconds.

And within the next 4.4 seconds, you’d have already left 200 kmph behind. Keep your cool and composure, and the 765LT Spider will eventually be clocking 330 kmph. Meanwhile, there’s Proactive Chassis Control II with adaptive dampers and a double wishbone suspension system keeping everything nice and controlled. These are further aided by nannies like Traction Control System, Electronic Stability Control, Variable Drift Control, Hill Hold Assist, and more than enough airbags.

The cost of a McLaren 765LT Spider in the UAE

Being a limited-run model, the McLaren 765LT Spider is not going to be an inexpensive acquisition. While McLaren is not too comfortable releasing its price tags, you can bet on your heirloom that the average cost of a 765LT Spider is going to be in the neighborhood of 1.4-million dirhams. Obviously, you can further inflate this by stacking on optional extras to the order catalogue.
