Who it suits. Drivers wanting a rear-drive, two-seat McLaren Owners comfortable with a high annual gasoline budget

What it is

The 2022 McLaren Automotive 765LT Spider is a car in the EPA Two Seaters class. It uses gasoline, rear-wheel drive, and an automatic (AM-S7) transmission.

Power comes from a 4.0 L 8-cyl turbo engine. Its defining EPA figure is 16 MPG combined.

The numbers

The 16 MPG combined rating means roughly 16 miles from a gallon across a mix of driving. City driving is rated at 14 MPG, while highway driving is 18 MPG.

Those figures make highway trips somewhat more efficient than stop-and-go use.

What it costs to run

EPA estimates yearly gasoline spending at $5,150. That figure reflects the car's 16 MPG combined rating and gasoline powertrain.

Tailpipe emissions are listed at 565 grams of CO2 per mile.

How it compares

The 765LT Spider gives you a clear baseline: 16 MPG combined, 14 city, and 18 highway. Use McLaren Automotive cars to line up those figures with other McLaren models.

Its two-seat layout, rear-wheel drive, and gasoline engine also define the type of car you are comparing.

Who it suits

This fits a buyer who wants a two-seat McLaren with rear-wheel drive and accepts high gasoline use.

It makes more sense for someone focused on the car's layout and engine than on minimizing fuel spending.

Trade-offs

You get a turbocharged 4.0-liter eight-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive, but the EPA combined result is 16 MPG.

The 14 MPG city rating, $5,150 annual fuel estimate, two-seat cabin, and gasoline-only powertrain set clear limits for everyday economy and carrying people.

Verdict

The 765LT Spider is a specialized two-seat car whose numbers center on its rear-drive layout and turbocharged eight-cylinder engine. Its 16 MPG combined result is the key ownership figure, and the EPA's $5,150 yearly fuel estimate makes the running budget substantial. City use is less efficient than highway travel, and the two-seat body limits passenger capacity. Choose it when those trade-offs fit your driving priorities, not when low fuel cost or extra seats lead the decision.
