British sports car maker, McLaren, has recently revealed the new limited edition 675LT Spider Carbon Series. As the name suggests, the car now comes with a lot more carbon fibre parts compared to the standard version and it also ditches the flashy body paint altogether exposing all that carbon fibre parts across the entire body. According to the company, this special edition 675LT Spider now uses 40 per cent more carbon fibre parts and panels shedding all that extra weight and making it all the more menacing. Sadly this work of beauty is limited to only 25 unique examples, all of which have reportedly been pre-sold. McLaren first introduced the 675LT at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, which itself was limited to only 500 vehicles. Currently the fastest roadster in this British marque's stable, a 675LT with all that aid from the extra carbon fibre parts can only make things better. Now, McLaren hasn't revealed any performance figures yet, but all that additional carbon fibre is very likely to improve acceleration, braking, and handling, thanks to the reduction in weight.

Just to put it out there, this is in addition to the parts that were already made of carbon fibre like the front bumper, splitter, side skirts, side intakes, rear deck, rear fenders, diffuser, bumper, and airbrake. All these carbon fibre materials are further accentuated by a special a gloss finish. Under the hood this limited edition 675LT Spider sees no change in powertrain and continues to uses the same 3.8-litre, twin-turbo V8. The engine churns out its namesake 675PS (666bhp) of maximum power along with a monstrous peak torque of 700Nm. Transmission duties are handled by the same 7-speed Seamless Shift dual clutch Gearbox. The regular McLaren 675LT was capable of doing a 0-100 km/h sprint in flat 2.9 seconds before attaining a top speed of 326 km/h.
