Motor Trend’s Jonny Lieberman, the luckiest bearded son of a gun in this business, recently got to drive the McLaren 675LT super car on road and track to determine why would anybody need the LT over the already awesome 650S. That’s fine, nothing special about it. Thing is, he managed to secure not one, but two LongTails for this test.
Yep, lucky bearded son of a gun, indeed!
