McLaren 765LT

The McLaren 765LT is a Longtail, the most extreme version of the Super Series. The 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 sends 755 horsepower to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It reaches 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and runs to a top speed of 330 km/h. McLaren built only 765 of these worldwide, which is why you rarely see one parked outside the cafes on Bluewaters or in the Marina.

This is a focused machine, lighter and more aggressive than the 720S it is based on. The carbon fibre monocoque, titanium exhaust and Senna-derived brakes were designed for the track, then made usable on the road. It is happiest with space to breathe, which makes the early morning runs out toward Hatta or along the Al Qudra loop the right place for it. Inside the city it draws a crowd at every set of lights on Sheikh Zayed Road, so plan for that.

A car like this makes far more sense to rent than to own. Insurance, depreciation and the limited-production values put it out of reach as a daily keeper for most people, yet a few days behind the wheel give you the full experience. It suits visitors marking an occasion, enthusiasts who want a genuine collector McLaren for a weekend, and anyone staying around DIFC or Business Bay who wants something with real provenance. We deliver it to your door, full of fuel and detailed, and collect it when you are done.
