McLaren Dallas and Garages of America in Carrollton recently marked a major milestone in automotive history—the 10th anniversary of the McLaren LT (Longtail). The “Garages & Gearheads” event brought together car enthusiasts to celebrate the legendary lineage of McLaren LT models at Jack Griffin’s private garage. Attendees were encouraged to bring their favorite vehicles and share their passion for performance with family and friends.

"The response from the car community was incredible," said Jack Griffin, co-founder of Garages of America. "Garages & Gearheads continues to be a place where like-minded enthusiasts can connect, and what better way to celebrate than with one of the most exhilarating supercar lineups ever built?" 

According to McLaren Automotive’s History of the Longtail, “An LT is the most extreme expression of a McLaren you can get – designed to the push the boundaries of performance and exhilaration.” 

Simon Crossley, Brand Manager at McLaren Dallas, highlighted the significance of the LT models, stating: “The first LT was a track evolution of McLaren’s earliest road car – the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail. That car dominated the GT Championship, securing first place in five out of 11 races and finishing first and second in class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans—30 laps ahead of its competition. The LT name represents an uncompromising pursuit of performance, and it’s incredible to see how it has evolved over the past decade."  

McLaren Dallas brought several models including an Artura and a McLaren 750S. 

McLaren revived the Longtail legacy at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show with the McLaren 675LT Coupé, a car that set new standards for driving engagement. The most recent LT models—the 765LT and 765LT Spider—continue this tradition, featuring a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that delivers 765PS and 800Nm of torque. Built with an ultra-lightweight construction, these models push the limits of what’s possible in a road-going supercar. 

Garages of America Carrollton is located at 2323 Tarpley Road, off President George Bush Tollway and Marsh Road.
