It Cost $56,000 to Paint This Supercar in the Colors of a Cigarette Brand | Carscoops

      This mid-engined supercar has only accumulated 2,700 miles since its delivery.

      McLaren produced only 500 units of the 675LT, and this is the sole one featuring this particular paint job.

      The red and white design takes inspiration from the famous Marlboro liveries that McLaren utilized in Formula 1.

      The British supercar is powered by a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine, generating 666 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque.

      There’s something about a limited-production, six-figure supercar that calls for a personalized touch, especially when exclusivity is just part of its appeal. If you're investing hundreds of thousands in a rare McLaren, it should definitely turn heads.

      That's precisely what the original owner of this McLaren 675LT had in mind, commissioning McLaren Special Operations (MSO) to create a custom red and white color blend for $56,295. Now, this vehicle is available for sale.

      Only 500 coupes of the 675LT were made, and this particular model was originally ordered by the founder of Griot's Garage, a company famous for its extensive range of car care products. The paint design evokes the Marlboro-sponsored McLaren Formula 1 cars from the era of Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, and Ayrton Senna.

      When launched, the McLaren 675LT received significant acclaim, enhancing the already formidable 650S into an even more dynamic performance vehicle. The 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 was upgraded to produce 666 hp and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

      This model includes lightweight forged wheels measuring 19 and 20 inches, which were a $2,850 extra. It also features an optional $4,270 Meridian audio system, a $1,920 electric steering column, and $3,790 worth of electric and heated memory seats.

      While the exterior is quite flashy, the interior remains understated. Most surfaces are covered in black leather and Alcantara, accented with red contrast stitching. The odometer indicates that the car has been driven just over 2,700 miles (~4,345 km).

      When it was new, this 675LT had a sticker price of $423,615, including options. It may not fetch that price on the used market today, especially with new 765LT models available for less. However, for those interested in a uniquely specified piece of McLaren history, the listing is currently live on Bring a Trailer.
