  • If, like me, you don't quite have the funds for a 750 grand center.

  • But you like the idea of a track focused McClaren.

  • Well, chill out.

  • What?

  • I got your back.

  • This is the 600 lt.

  • It's the third member of McClaren's hardcore lt or Long Tail Family.

  • It follows the quite outrageously good 675 lt and 675 lt Spider.

  • But this thing is based on the 5 70 s on the sports.

  • Siri's is.

  • McClaren likes to call it.

  • It's taken 5 70 s and made it better in every way because you get an extra 30 horsepower.

  • As the name suggests, you get more downforce and you get 100 kilograms less.

  • This means that when you put it on a track specific tracks that don't have massively long straights, I'll admit it is actually faster than 675 Lt.

  • And for anyone that's driven a 675 lt.

  • You know that's quite a claim.

  • So we should begin by looking at this car's details with the things that make it lighter.

  • Because, really, that's what shapes the 614 for this.

  • But you're gonna have to forgive me a cheat sheet because 23% of this car is new.

  • And frankly, my brain can only hold so much.

  • So we begin.

  • Yes, on the inside.

  • Now, these are the optional super lightweight seats.

  • The same seats, in fact, that you get in the £750,000 center.

  • Not only are they works of art, but also when you compare them to the standard seats in the 5 70 s, where they save for a total of 21 kilograms.

  • And then, if you're sadistic, you can dilute the air con on the stereo.

  • That will save the further 16 kilograms, and you'll notice that there's no glove box and no door panels either.

  • That's because Clarin has taken this weight saving thing quite seriously.

  • Those two things that saves a total of one kilogram basically happy.

  • Okay, right.

  • What else we got?

  • Yes, the wheels.

  • So these are new lightweight design.

  • And those, plus these trade fair, our tire save about 17 kilograms.

  • Carbon ceramic brake discs in there.

  • They're effectively taken in this 7 20 s, as is the suspension.

  • So lighter wishbones hollow anti roll bars, all the carbon bits by the way you can see here.

  • Plus an optional carbon roof that saves just over seven kilograms.

  • This thinner glass.

  • Don't forget that.

  • That saves a couple of kilograms and then we get to the exhaust pipes.

  • Now, these save just double check.

  • Yes, 12.6 kilograms.

  • Not only are they the biggest visual differentiator between this car 7 25 70 s.

  • Pardon me, but also, they serve quite interesting engineering purpose.

  • By putting the pipes up there, you free up this area down here so the diffuser can be deeper and wider and work its optimum state of aerodynamic goodness.

  • Wake them up here.

  • The pipes that much shorter.

  • The engine is just there.

  • I can see it.

  • So you've only gotta run the air out here on up through here.

  • That reduces the back pressure.

  • Now that reduced back pressure.

  • Plus Venecia, you re flash.

  • That's how you get the extra 30 horsepower descendant.

  • There's no internal changes.

  • Its just airflow on E C u.

  • There is a problem, though, When you have two pipes shunting out so much heat right here on a fixed rear wing just behind it.

  • Well, you have to be careful this thing isn't flambeed by the end of the start, finish straight, so you'll notice here a protective heat coating that ensures that doesn't happen.

  • Yes, yes, yes.

  • Well, good.

  • Thank you for the geeky details, I hear you saying, but what you really want to know is the performance.

  • The numbers this car will do.

  • Get your notebooks out, nor to 62 in 2.9 seconds.

  • It will do not to 124 miles an hour in 8.2 seconds on flat out 204 miles an hour.

  • Now it's that second number, but I want to focus on because that means this car is faster 124 miles an hour than 9 11 gt two R s.

  • It is faster than the Lamborghini Huracan before Manta is faster than a Ferrari for 88 Okay, it's not faster than for a piece that doesn't 7.6 seconds.

  • But this is supposedly amore junior supercut.

  • And don't forget that eventually there will be a hard core lt version of the 7 20 Yes, as well, and that should take care of the Easter.

  • But honestly, it's a seriously, seriously quick car, and now we need to talk about money.

  • There is no official price, but McClaren's line is this is basically 5 70 s, plus 25% did the calculations earlier.

  • That means around about 185 grand.

  • It's also gonna be limited in numbers again.

  • They haven't said how many they're gonna build, but it won't be quite as rare as the 675 lt.

  • Now they built 500 of those, so I had to make an educated guess somewhere between 500 1000 seems reasonable.

  • By the way, If you want one, get your skates on.

If, like me, you don't quite have the funds for a 750 grand center.
