# 600LT

Longtail for the Sports Series

The 600LT gave McLaren's Sports Series the steering, brakes and weight discipline of its dearer cars. Its top-exit exhausts sit behind the occupants' shoulders; the 570S beneath it is still visible, but the response is not the same.

## The price and the proof

Indicative road-car band $170K–$260K · typical $215K · 3 documented road sales · 3 recorded sales on file. Modeled values are not observed sales. Nothing here is investment advice.

Confidence: low. The ledger contains one near-standard Coupé and one heavily modified, high-mileage Spider. Mileage, body style and specification create material spread, while the undisclosed total build count limits scarcity analysis.

Figures in USD for road cars with clean history. Accident history, deferred service and non-factory modifications require separate adjustment.

The modified Spider is a documented observation, not a like-for-like standard-car comparable.

## The LT badge moved down a series.

McLaren introduced the 600LT in June 2018 as the fourth car to carry its Longtail designation. It was based on the 570S but used 23 per cent new parts, an extended front splitter and diffuser, a fixed rear wing and carbon-fibre body panels.

The Coupé entered production in October 2018. McLaren did not announce a fixed build count; it allocated slots for roughly twelve months around the Senna, Senna GTR and Speedtail programmes. The Spider followed with the same 600 PS and 2.9-second factory sprint figure.

| Highlight | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| The exhaust exits on top | Two short pipes leave the engine bay through the rear deck, behind the occupants' shoulders. Less pipe saves weight; the cabin hears the result directly. |
| Ninety-six kilograms removed | Against a comparably specified 570S Coupé, the lightest 600LT is 96 kg lighter. Carbon body panels, lighter seats and less trim do most of the work. |
| No declared build count | McLaren limited the Coupé by time rather than publishing a fixed total: production began in October 2018 and ran for around twelve months between other Woking programmes. |

| Label | Value |

| Power | 600 PS |
