The suffix "LT" stands for "Longtail," a term that became established as common for racing cars with a longer rear end at the 24 Hours of Le Mans starting in the late sixties. The elongated rear end made the Porsche 917 “longtail” racecars even faster on the nearly six-kilometer Mulsanne straight. In 1997, the McLaren F1 GTR Longtail won the GT1 class at the world's most famous endurance race. With the McLaren 765LT, the British sports car manufacturer transfers this aerodynamic principle to the road once more. The lightweight two-seater is a perfect basis for the specialty of the German automotive refinement specialist NOVITEC: making the world’s most fascinating sports cars even more powerful, faster and more exciting! The forced-induction four-liter eight-cylinder engine with two turbochargers can be uprated to a maximum of 629 kW / 855 hp and 898 Nm of torque in three different tuning stages. This catapults the gullwing car to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. The top speed is over 330 km/h. NOVITEC high-performance exhaust systems made of ultra-light INCONEL optimize the performance and make the exhaust note even more spectacular. Another focal point of the NOVITEC range is the putting even more sporty emphasis on the appearance: The NOVITEC hi-tech forged wheels with diameters of 20 and 21 inches were developed in cooperation with the American high-end manufacturer Vossen. In addition, custom aerodynamic-enhancement components, which also come in a naked-carbon version, can give the bodywork even more of a racing design. The refinement specialist’s product range also includes custom interior design in a virtually limitless variety of colors.
