The nine-time World Rally Champion, Sébastien Loeb, offered his McLaren 675LT at auction in St Moritz this Friday.
Launched at the Geneva International Motor Show in 2015, the McLaren 675LT Spider revived the legendary “Long Tail” nameplate of the brand, which had disappeared with the F1 GTR nearly 20 years earlier. Winds in your hair, you can reach 326 km/h at the wheel, on a circuit of course, and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. A superb toy for a seasoned driver.
This gray 2017 675LT Spider is one of 500 units produced. Since 2019, it has been owned by Sébastien Loeb, the most decorated rally driver in history with an impressive haul of nine WRC championships. The Alsace native also finished second at the 2006 24 Hours of Le Mans, in addition to numerous honors at the Dakar Rally, in the World Touring Car Championship, in the World Rallycross Championship, and more.
The interior of this 675LT is dressed in custom orange and black leather with touches of Alcantara. It is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The car is optionally equipped with carbon fiber brakes, a noble material that is also widely used on the specific aerodynamic kit including side skirts, air intakes, mirrors, a rear diffuser, and the McLaren badge. Add a titanium sports exhaust system, carbon engine compartment trims, and ultra-light forged wheels, and you have an extraordinary machine before you. It had only 8,840 kilometers on the odometer at cataloging. With only 500 units produced, the McLaren 675LT Spider is already a rare car, but its specifications and prestigious owner make this a desirable piece… or not!
While the auction house RM Sotheby’s set an estimate between 270,000 and 335,000 euros, it was finally sold for 230,000 euros! Since the reserve price was probably not met, it is likely to stay with its prestigious owner for a few more months.
