The “LT” Stands for Longtail – The 600LT (Longtail) is part of McLaren’s "Longtail" series, inspired by the legendary McLaren F1 GTR Longtail from the 1990s, signifying lighter weight, more power, and enhanced aerodynamics.
More Power Than the 570S – The 600LT is based on the McLaren 570S but has a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 592 hp (600 PS) and 620 Nm of torque, making it 30 hp more powerful than the 570S.
Super Lightweight Build – With extensive carbon fiber use, including a carbon fiber MonoCell II chassis, the 600LT weighs just 1,247 kg (2,749 lbs), making it 96 kg (212 lbs) lighter than the 570S Coupe.
Top-Exit Exhausts for Performance and Sound – One of the most unique features of the 600LT is its top-exit exhausts, which reduce weight, improve aerodynamics, and create a more aggressive sound.
Extreme Track-Focused Aerodynamics – The 600LT features an extended front splitter, rear diffuser, and a fixed rear wing, increasing downforce by 100 kg (220 lbs) at high speeds for better handling.
Lightning-Fast Acceleration – The 600LT goes from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.9 seconds and 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) in 8.2 seconds, making it as quick as some hypercars.
Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R Tires as Standard – McLaren fitted the 600LT with ultra-high-performance Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires, providing exceptional grip on both road and track.
Alcantara-Only Interior for Weight Saving – The interior is stripped down for performance, featuring Alcantara-trimmed seats, lightweight door panels, and no carpet, reinforcing its track-focused nature.
Available as a Spider – In addition to the 600LT Coupe, McLaren also offered the 600LT Spider, which retained the same power and aerodynamics while featuring a retractable hardtop.
Limited Production and High Collectibility – McLaren only produced the 600LT for about a year (2018-2019), making it rarer than the 570S and increasing its desirability among collectors.
