Exclusive view of the first McLaren 765LT in Malaysia
The McLaren 765LT was in Malaysia in September last year on its whistle-stop tour of the region. The 765LT pictured below is the first customer car to arrive in Malaysia.
The Special Curacao Blue exterior was paired with Papaya Orange seat belts and brake calipers. The combination is an exclusive option, globally recognised as the livery of Gulf Oil. McLaren and Gulf Oil have a long history of partnership which began with Bruce McLaren’s Can-Am days in 1968. In 2021, Gulf became the official fuel and lubricant supplier to McLaren Automotive.
Other options specced were the McLaren Special Operations Club Sport Pro Pack and the carbonfibre roof scoop. The MSO Club Sport Pro Pack consists of:
- Super-lightweight carbon fibre racing seats
- Track brake upgrade
- McLaren Track Telemetry (MTT) with lap time function and three cameras
- MSO Defined Satin Finish Visual Carbon Fibre Air Vents
- MSO Defined Dark Titanium Harness Bar
- MSO Defined Six-Point Harness in McLaren Orange
In the pictures, the car has Papaya Orange standard three-point seat belts which are for everyday use. The six-point harnesses were in the boxes in the boot.
The 4.0-litre turbocharged engine paired with seven-speed dual-clutch transmission produces 755bhp at 7500rpm and 800Nm of torque at 5500rpm. Acceleration is 2.8 seconds to 100km/h from standstill, before topping out at 330km/h. Conversely, at 100km/h, it can come to a dead halt in under 30 metres, aided by carbon-ceramic brakes. 390mm, six-piston monobloc aluminium calipers in front and 380mm four-piston aluminium calipers at the rear.
Before options and relevant taxes, the McLaren 765LT is RM1,488,000 in Malaysia. The comprehensive three-year unlimited mileage McLaren Vehicle Warranty is standard. A 12-year McLaren Extended Warranty is also available. For more details, contact McLaren Kuala Lumpur at //kualalumpur.mclaren.com/en
