It is not a secret that here at MW we are huge fans of the McLaren 675LT Spider because in our opinion it has the perfect super car recipe. So when the guys at Autocar released their track test of the car it as something we had to share with you. This can potentially turn the fans of Porsche and Ferrari and make them devotees of the big Mac!

The track test of McLaren 675LT Spider is part of a massive undertaking by Autocar to pick Britain’s Best Driver’s Car of the ear 2016. Though the LT stands in good stead, it still has to face tough rivals such as Porsche 911R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Honda NSX, and BMW M2. Yes, a 675LT could very well lose to an M2 because what counts here is not outright performance but rather the joy of driving.
