The new McLaren 675LT JVC Kenwood concept debuting at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) will pack on more technology over all the goodies the brand already has.

Autoblog reported that the car maker and the Japanese electronics firm JVC Kenwood has been working for together for some 25 years. Now, they came up with the new 675LT, which will has the Advanced Driver Assistance System technology that will display the vital information right in front of the driver's line of sight, as well as other vehicles in the area.

The supercar's cockpit is all-digital with JVCKenwood's CarOptronics system. The head-up display replaces the car's stock gauge cluster, making it easier for the driver to concentrate since there is no need to look down for the vital information. There is no longer a rear-view mirror and external mirrors as a digital display provides images coming from three cameras in place of those mirrors.

Despite all these advancements, its cockpit looks more minimalist and Spartan than all its predecessors.

According to Yahoo, the McLaren 675LT is a 650S with steroids. It has a big center-exit exhaust and state of the art aerodynamic elements, showing that it is truly built for performance. Like that is not yet enough, the Japanese electronics giant added more interior gears in the McLaren 675LT JVCKenwood.

Meanwhile, Motor Authority wrote that the 675LT showcased in the CES is an original prototype. It has transformations with its center console and air conditioning system removed. Its steering wheel uses the one from the P1 GTR, but it has positioning controls instead of standard buttons. It has a display screen mounted in its headliner to show the camera rear view mirror videos.

There are not many changes to the exterior, except for the side mirrors, which are now camera stalks. The JVC Kenwood silver racing stripes are one of the obvious external features of the car.
