In May 2025, an exceptional 2016 McLaren 675LT — arguably one of the most spectacular examples ever built — crossed the Bring a Trailer block and sold for $265,000. What set this car apart wasn’t simply low miles or a desirable spec, but its full McLaren Special Operations (MSO) treatment: a factory-painted Marlboro livery that (to the best of public knowledge) remains singular among 675LTs.

This isn’t your garden-variety LT — this is high art in carbon fiber and red-white racing heritage.

Before diving into the MSO magic, a quick refresher: the 675LT is McLaren’s “Long Tail” track-biased edition of the 650S platform. Only 500 coupes were built, each shedding weight, tightening aero, and boosting performance over the base 650S.

In stock form, the 675LT features a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, aggressive carbon-splitters, a longer rear deck, and a focus on lightness.

That makes it already rare and desirable — but the MSO enhancements take it into a rarified stratum.

MSO Tailoring: When Factory Personalization Becomes Art

This particular 675LT is no mere “MSO options package” car. According to the Bring a Trailer listing, it was ordered with more than $24,000 in MSO options. But more than that, it carries an MSO-painted Marlboro livery— reportedly the only factory Marlboro liveried 675LT in existence.

  • The Marlboro livery is not a decal — this was a full MSO finish, done at the factory, that cost $56,295 in its original order. Griot’s Motors
  • Combined with that, the car had MSO wheels, carbon components, and tailored interior touches. Griot’s Motors
  • The original listing emphasized that this was a one-of-one build, combining standard 675LT performance with a visual identity unique among its siblings. Griot’s Motors

In effect, McLaren’s MSO division — the in-house bespoke studio — built this not merely to spec, but as a halo, heirloom example.

From Auction to Dealer: Journey & Spec Highlights

When this Marlboro-painted 675LT went to auction, it drew attention not just for its performance pedigree but for its absolute uniqueness. The $265K price tag reflects that scarcity — and also the inherent strength of limited, special MSO builds in today’s collector market.

Now, the car is listed at Fort Lauderdale Collection South (Florida) under VIN SBM11RAA8GW675171, reportedly with about 3,077 miles on the odometer. The listing notes its Delta Red / Silica White exterior (matching the Marlboro livery appearance) and Carbon Black interior.

While many performance details remain consistent with standard 675LT specification, the MSO touches and the proven provenance elevate the car into a different category.

Why This Car Stands Apart (and Why Collectors Notice)

  • Absolute exclusivity. Among 500 675LTs, owning a car that truly no one else can match in livery, factory finish and MSO content is a prize in itself.
  • Factory-certified, not aftermarket. The Marlboro livery was not added post hoc — it was done under McLaren’s MSO regime, which preserves provenance and certification.
  • Badge and story value. Collectors prize the narrative — this is a statement piece, not just a fast car.
  • Resale optionality. Cars with singular MSO provenance often command outsized premiums or collector attention over time.
  • Track cred and usability. It’s still a 675LT under the skin — capable and dramatic, not just a showpiece.

In short: this is a 675LT with the soul of a bespoke coachbuilt special.
