McLaren 675LT
Why 5.8: McLaren gated allocation to existing owners first, filtering out the walk-in flippers other limited runs attract — a real enthusiast tax that shows up in how the fleet gets used. The hydraulic steering rack, McLaren's best, is the chassis lens doing the heavy lifting; the twin-turbo V8 is retuned specifically for sharper response than the 650S it's based on.

Sound
The top-exit titanium exhaust puts the outlet inches behind the cabin and gives the M838T its angriest voice. But it is still McLaren's flat-plane turbo V8, industrial rather than musical, and boost muffles everything below the last thousand revs.

The long version
McLaren capped production at a thousand cars split evenly between coupe and spider, then handed first refusal to owners already in the brand, a deliberate filter against the speculative flipping that hits other limited-run supercars. The longtail name references the McLaren F1 GTR's own aero heritage, which the marketing leaned on hard, but the substance backed it up: sharper turbos, less weight, and one of the last McLaren chassis tuned with a purely hydraulic steering rack before the brand moved toward electric assistance. Owners who bought in through the allocation process tend to actually track the cars they fought to get.
