The McLaren 600LT is one of the cars to receive the “long tail” moniker. Following on from the success of the 675LT, this time it was the turn of McLaren’s “baby” model the 570S to get the LT treatment, with sensational results. So, what has changed? Firstly weight, the enemy of performance, has been cut by an astonishing 96kg under the already featherweight 570S. Add to this a bump in power to nearly 600bhp and its no surprise that the 600LT puts in a phenomenal 0 to 124mph time of 8.2s, over a second quicker than the 570S. The racing inspired long tail bodywork and more aggressive aerodynamics have increased downforce by 100kg, whilst McLaren Brake Steer, a technology banned in F1 has made its comeback on a McLaren road car.

Another highlight feature of the 600LT are the top exit stainless steel exhausts providing a distinctive soundtrack and unique aesthetic highlight. Step inside over the wide carbon fibre racing sills, get swallowed up by the deep bucket seats and it is immediately apparent that this is a race car for the road. The interior has a level of refinement and driver focus that is exclusively McLaren, setting the driver up for the experience ahead. Recently winning the coveted title of “EVO Car of the Year 2018”, it is clear that the 600LT represents a significant evolution in the brand and a car that is guaranteed to excite, stun and dominate on track.
