3.8 V8 (675 Hp) SSG Verdict:

Rating 5 stars

Performance Verdict

The M838T 3.8L twin-turbo V8 delivers ferocious power and torque, propelling the 675LT Spider to supercar-beating acceleration figures. Its responsiveness and high-revving nature are truly exhilarating.

Fuel Economy

Fuel economy of 11.7 l/100 km combined is respectable for a supercar of this caliber, but it's certainly not a priority for owners. Expect higher figures under spirited driving.

Best Use Case: Track Driving / Enthusiast Road Driving

Regular Car reviews now: A really fun satirical description of cars with good figurative language Regular Car reviews when it started: ~~I feel like I am being guilt-tripped into joining a gay orgy and I feel good about it~~ Really weird, hard to know what Mr. Regular means, feels like one of those "masterpiece" 90s anime.
😐 NEUTRAL
I once saw one of those cruising down the highway a good bit faster than the rest of traffic with an empty bag of Quikrete stuck under the front lip. It made me think of someone trying to look cool while not knowing they had toilet paper stuck to their shoe.
😐 NEUTRAL
Any car review that has to blur the speedo is a good car review.
😐 NEUTRAL
I've been wondering what RCR would say when they get their hands on a supercar. > McLarens *exist*, and whatever you see in the inkblot test is what you put there. ಠ_ಠ
👎 NEGATIVE
>RCR should be ASHAMED!!   >RCR guys sit on giant throne of LIES!!

Driving this car on Pennsylvania roads is like playing Little League NOW.

What was that comment about Fox body mustangs? Cause I'm pretty sure that the "McLaren Mustangs" most think of are ASC McLarens which is definitely separate, and even the early M81 models were by McLaren Performance which is a Michigan based company that I'm pretty sure is named for Bruce McLaren but is a different company than McLaren Cars, who currently makes all the supercars.
👍 POSITIVE
Something about the 675lt specifically looks the best to me idk what it is

Regular car reviews followed by an unobtainable to most Mclaren lmao.

If the phrase "Tuscany Dickcheese" isn't on a tank top within a month, I feel they've lost out on a real marketing win.
