Due to the complexity of a V8 engine, issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors can cause misfires.
Engine mount failures
The powerful V8 engine can put additional stress on engine mounts, leading to premature wear or failure.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines, often used in high-performance cars like the McLaren 765LT, can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, affecting performance.
Transmission issues
The DCT7 (Dual-Clutch Transmission) can experience issues like rough shifting or premature wear if not properly maintained.
Electrical problems
High-performance vehicles often have complex electrical systems that can develop faults, affecting engine performance.
Turbocharger wear
