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.
