"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."
