"It's the new pinnacle of McLaren's Sport Series range, the 570S's harder, sharper, faster cousin: 96kg lighter, 23 per cent new parts, a car to follow in the footsteps of the fabulous 675LT. It's the McLaren 600LT." - Top Gear.
Announced in June 2018, the McLaren 600LT supercar was a new addition to the British company's 'Sport Series' range, the first example of which – the 570S – had been launched in 2015. It was the fourth 'Longtail' model introduced by McLaren, following the 675LT Coupé and Spider and the car that inspired the 21st Century Longtail concept: the legendary McLaren F1 GTR Longtail sports-racing prototype of 1997, only nine of which were produced. In 600LT form the body was extended and extensively revised to incorporate enhanced aerodynamics: the front splitter, rear diffuser, side sills and fixed rear wing being new. The carbon-fibre body tub was modified, and the use of this lightweight composite material extended to the roof and other panels, resulting in a weight saving of 96kg, while one of the 600LT's most striking features was the top-exit titanium exhaust system. Another 30kg was shaved off the suspension, wheels, tyres and brakes for a total weight of 1,356kg, while various changes were made to the suspension settings. Inside the relatively spartan, track-focused interior there were fixed-back bucket seats (from the P1) and acres of Alcantara trim. The Senna's lightweight carbon seats were available as an option.
For the 600LT, McLaren's 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 was specified with different camshafts and a remapped ECU, producing an additional 30 horsepower to bring the maximum available to 600 hp hence the model's name. Performance figures of 0-100km/h in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 328km/h were claimed.
Driving the 600LT, Top Gear found its handling even more impressive than that of the 675LT from the Super Series: "This is the main thing that differentiates the 600LT to any rival... The accuracy and response is such that time seems to slow down during a corner. You have the ability to make corrections many times, to feel how the car reacts and adjust again several times in one corner. It's uncanny. It's akin to a Caterham."
