What it is

The 2021 McLaren Automotive 765LT Coupe is a gasoline car in the EPA Two Seaters class. It uses rear-wheel drive and a 4.0-liter turbocharged eight-cylinder engine.

An automatic AM-S7 transmission sends the engine's output to the rear wheels. See other McLaren Automotive cars for related models.

The numbers

Its EPA combined rating is 16 MPG. City driving is rated at 14 MPG, while highway driving is rated at 18 MPG.

The combined figure is the clearest single number for mixed driving. The city and highway ratings show how the coupe's fuel use changes with the type of road.

What it costs to run

EPA estimates annual gasoline cost at $5,150. That figure reflects the coupe's 16 MPG combined rating.

Tailpipe emissions are listed at 565 grams of carbon dioxide per mile.

How it compares

Use 16 MPG combined as the starting point when comparing this coupe with other cars. Its 14 MPG city and 18 MPG highway ratings separate urban and open-road use.

No other model figures are provided here, so a supported claim about which car uses less fuel cannot be made.

Who it suits

This layout suits a buyer who wants a two-seat coupe with rear-wheel drive and accepts gasoline running costs measured at 16 MPG combined.

The 18 MPG highway rating may matter most for drivers whose miles are mainly on open roads.

Trade-offs

The coupe's 14 MPG city rating is four MPG below its highway rating, so stop-and-go driving carries the heavier fuel penalty.

Its two-seat body limits passenger space, while the rear-wheel-drive layout and gasoline engine define the drivetrain choice. The annual fuel estimate is $5,150.

Verdict

Choose the 765LT Coupe if a two-seat, rear-driven gasoline car fits your priorities and you can budget for its fuel use.

The EPA numbers point to a car whose running cost deserves attention before purchase. Highway trips are rated at 18 MPG, but city use falls to 14 MPG, with 16 MPG combined overall.
