The fourth in the LT series

The 600 LT is the fourth of the Longtail category, which McLaren first introduced at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show with the 675 LT model.

Drawing inspiration from the McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail'—which first debuted during the 1997 race season—what makes an LT is weight reduction, higher levels of driver engagement through more extreme track performances and better aerodynamics.

Its details are oh-so sexy

Some of the 600 LT unique features include a top exit exhaust that looks like a pair of missile launchers, carbon fibre bodywork, a fixed rear wing that stays firmly fixed in place no matter which drive mode you’re using, a lower and longer body and a whopping 96kg weight reduction.

It goes fast—very fast

According to the automaker, the vehicle can accelerate for from zero to 60 mph in a sensational 2.8 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 204 mph.

It will have coupe and convertible versions

McLaren has announced it will start working on a limited edition (around 500 models) of the 600LT Coupe in October.

Priced at US$240,000, the car will only be produced for one year, and a convertible version is expected to follow. Buyers will be treated to a one-on-one racetrack driving lesson, to familiarise themselves with the stunning vehicle.
