Does the McLaren 600LT deserve its name?
Does the McLaren 600LT deserve its name? We tell you why at Auto-Moto, it grieves us, despite its technical record high fly.
McLaren 600 LT
McLaren 600LT (2018) - It is customary to say that length is not everything. A saying that this limited series called McLaren 600LT has nothing to do, misappropriating itself the name of a legend of the circuits: the Mclaren F1 GTR LT.
McLaren thinks he's Porsche?
Is not Porsche who wants. With production volumes envied by some general manufacturers (246,375 copies in 2017), the German firm offers a new version of model almost every month. While on the other side of the Channel, McLaren has begun a meteoric rise since 2010, he remains an artisan, with just over 3,000 units assembled last year.
A 600 hp V8
However, the marketing department of Woking miracles to pace the news automotive, with the backing of special models, exclusive liveries, for lack of real new models. This time, it's on a 570S basis that McLaren has developed this attractive 600LT. The V8 3.8 biturbo offers 30 extra hp to peak at 600 hp, as the name suggests, while the torque increases from 600 to 620 Nm.
The seats of the McLaren Senna, optional
With a hull made of carbon fiber, she hunts the extra pounds to display up to 96 kg less than the model from which it came. As long as you opt for all options to lighten the beast, including chairs inherited from the McLaren Senna. It then drops below 1250 kg, bowing to the best in terms of performance.
Such a "long tail"?
But did that allow her to borrow the LT name from the legendary McLaren F1 GTR "Long Tail"? Translate "long tail" for this model of competition rear extended cantilever, appeared in 1997. It was at the time to compete with the Porsche 911 GT1 and other Mercedes CLK GTR in endurance championship FIA GT. Guaranteed visual effect, with about 70 cm extra, for a length approaching 5 meters. A serial version, called McLaren F1 GT, was also marketed for approval.
In comparison, the McLaren 600LT deceives its world, lying only 7 cm longer than the 570S. But all means are good to inflate artificially its exclusivity. She did not need it though.
Launched in October 2018, this McLaren 600LT does not yet say how many copies it will be produced, but promises a minimum price of £ 180,000, or about € 208,000.
