McLaren 600LT

The McLaren 600LT is designed to be raw and uncompromising straight from the factory, embodying the pinnacle of the Longtail lineage.

‍

The “Longtail” series is one of McLaren’s most iconic lines, known for its extreme performance both on the road and the racetrack. The 600LT stands out as the most thrilling model within McLaren’s Sport Series. At its launch, McLaren stated: “The 600LT is a Longtail McLaren with true racing DNA, enhanced aerodynamics, increased power, reduced weight, track-focused dynamics, and an improved driver experience,” and this remains true to this day.

Every aspect of the 600LT’s design emphasizes aerodynamics, optimizing both efficiency and downforce. The result is a car that performs like a race car while still being fully usable on public roads. Compared to the base 570S Coupe, the 600LT is 74 mm longer, thanks to an extended front diffuser, a longer rear diffuser, and a fixed rear spoiler, with over 23% of its body components differing from the 570S Coupe.

The 600LT is lighter by 96 kilograms, bringing its total weight down to just 1,247 kilograms. Power comes from a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, producing 600 horsepower and 620 Nm of torque, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 481 hp per ton. These figures allow the 600LT to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 8.2 seconds, cover a quarter-mile in 10.4 seconds, and achieve a top speed of 328 km/h.

The carbon fiber body contributes to its lightweight nature, while the signature top-exit exhaust not only enhances the car’s aggressive appearance but also delivers a sensational exhaust note into the cabin. To match its performance, the 600LT features double-wishbone aluminum forged suspension, lightweight brakes borrowed from the 720S, Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires optimized for track use, faster steering, sharper throttle and brake response, reinforced engine mounts, and increased downforce from the large rear diffuser.

Inside, the cabin is race-inspired, featuring Alcantara-covered racing seats and extensive use of Alcantara and carbon fiber throughout the interior, creating a fully immersive sports car environment. The McLaren 600LT perfectly captures the essence of a Longtail: raw, track-focused, and exhilarating in every detail.
