The new McLaren 600LT was made official yesterday and now McLaren has released a video of the car in action.
The new 600LT comes with a 3.8 litre twin turbo V8 engine that produces 592hp and 457 lb-ft of torque.
Performance and Engineering
The McLaren 600LT is only the fourth ‘Longtail’ McLaren in more than two decades. The McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ that began the lineage was one of the purest race cars in modern motorsport history. The 675LT resurrected the revered name, creating the purest distillation of the sheer driving pleasure embodied by all McLaren cars. Now we are further extending our very special LT family – albeit in limited numbers – and once again showcasing the ethos of optimized aerodynamics, increased power, reduced weight, track-focused dynamics, and enhanced driver engagement that are the hallmarks of a McLaren ‘Longtail’.” Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive.
The 600LT is designed to be a track-focused machine, with a significant emphasis on weight reduction. The car features extensive use of carbon fiber, including a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and carbon fiber body panels. This results in a dry weight of just 1,247 kg (2,749 lbs), making it one of the lightest cars in its class. The car’s aerodynamics have been meticulously engineered to provide increased downforce, ensuring exceptional handling and stability at high speeds.
Interior and Features
Inside, the 600LT offers a driver-centric cockpit with minimalist design elements that emphasize performance. The seats are made from lightweight carbon fiber, similar to those found in the McLaren P1 hypercar. The interior is stripped of unnecessary luxuries to save weight, but it still offers essential features such as a high-resolution infotainment system and air conditioning, which can be removed for those who want the ultimate track experience.
The 600LT also comes with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires, which are specifically designed for high-performance driving. The suspension system has been reworked to provide sharper handling and better feedback, making the car incredibly responsive on both road and track.
Customization and Limited Production
McLaren offers a range of customization options for the 600LT through its McLaren Special Operations (MSO) division. Customers can choose from a variety of bespoke paint colors, interior materials, and other unique features to make their 600LT truly one-of-a-kind. This level of customization ensures that each 600LT is a unique expression of its owner’s personality and taste.
The production of the 600LT is limited, making it a rare and exclusive vehicle. This exclusivity, combined with its performance capabilities, makes the 600LT a highly sought-after car among collectors and enthusiasts.
