The McLaren 765LT is a rare supercar made by McLaren Automotive, with only 765 units produced worldwide for the coupe version, and a similar number for the Spider variant. In Vietnam, there are only 5 McLaren 765LTs, with 4 coupes and 1 convertible.
Recently, with just 16 days left until the Lunar New Year, the owner of a McLaren 765LT coupe, who is a wealthy individual, has decided to sell this limited edition supercar. It seems that after owning it for some time, he has lost interest in this powerful drag racing car.
The Story Behind the Sale of the McLaren 765LT
Based on the information we have gathered, the McLaren 765LT being sold is a coupe painted in McLaren Orange. There are only 2 cars with this color in Vietnam. Furthermore, the seller of this McLaren 765LT has disclosed that it is the only car equipped with the Comfort seat package and has also revealed the identity of the owner.
The owner is a car enthusiast from the western region of Vietnam, specifically Kien Giang province. He purchased this limited edition McLaren 765LT from a well-known parallel importer in Vietnam. The car arrived in Vietnam in June 2021 and was frequently transported by ferry to Phu Quoc Island. Videos show that transporting the car by waterway posed many challenges.
In January 2023, the registration process for the McLaren 765LT coupe was finally completed, and one year later, the owner decided to put it up for sale.
What Makes the McLaren 765LT of the Kien Giang Tycoon Unique?
Interestingly, the license plate of the McLaren 765LT owned by the Kien Giang tycoon is quite ordinary compared to his other cars, which all have special license plates with double numbers and other attractive combinations. It seems that despite spending over VND 36 billion on the supercar, the car enthusiast from Kien Giang was not as fortunate as the owners of Porsche, Mercedes-Maybach, or Lexus vehicles, who were able to obtain “luxurious” license plates featuring the number 2, including triple and quadruple digit combinations.
Prior to registration, the car enthusiast took his McLaren 765LT to Ho Chi Minh City to have the Novitec exhaust system installed. A notable feature of this system is the elegant gold plating that adds a touch of Middle Eastern style, along with carbon fiber tailpipes. The value of this exhaust system is worth hundreds of millions of dong.
The first McLaren 765LT with a license plate from the western region features an exterior painted in McLaren Orange, along with various carbon fiber details. This limited edition supercar has many differences compared to the standard version, including a front spoiler, air vents on the wheel arches, new wheels with the 765LT logo, a larger rear wing, and, most importantly, quad exhaust pipes.
The McLaren 765LT coupe being sold by the Kien Giang tycoon has the serial number 381 out of the total 765 units produced globally. The interior of the car features a dark tone, with Alcantara leather seats combined with carbon fiber accents, and orange stitching on the safety belts, matching the exterior color scheme.
The McLaren 765LT is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces a maximum power of 755 horsepower and a peak torque of 800 Nm. This limited edition version of the McLaren 720S takes only 2.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h before reaching a top speed of 330 km/h.
