McLaren 600LT Spider: Eye-popping performance on and off the track

[MUSIC] Fercely fast, but full of feel tenacious but tactile sharp with census track road. This is the McLaren 680 Spyder [MUSIC] So I drive by side. very long in it. In this very slim. So I wonder if I'd have had more time, by the wheel. [MUSIC] Happen they set up. No one would run the ball. That was not funny. This feels like totally tied down to the List fraction is phenomenal section ties but I just remembered a bit more for my customers and I'm not sure what I'd like to know. I love being able to put the roof down as well. So you can hear that. Musical it probably isn't, but exciting it is. It's a bit like a big bike somehow. I don't know [INAUDIBLE] [SOUND] Yes, this is fundamentally the same engine used in every other McLaren of the modern era. I understand that the ubiquity irritates some. However, in this case, the argument could be made that it's impressive. You get an engine related to the three quarters of a million pounds center in the 200,000 pounds 600 lT. The numbers for this car in case you need reminding are 592 brake horsepower, and 456 pounds for the torque, not huge increases on the standard car. But the character feels much angrier, particularly with those bangs on the downshift. Perhaps more current customers like clay pigeon shooting the weekend. Can't. Hi, pals. [MUSIC] It's a really bumpy drive but actually it deals with the bumps incredibly well. Feels beautifully secure. [SOUND] One of the best things about this car [SOUND] we can do this all time long. Something Is going I don't want to stop. But it is not driving fast enough. Thunderstorm or not. Eventually every track day must end. But the 600 lt doesn't stop performing on the drive home. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Feel as though night view off the tracking day, or the need for speed. This is still a really enjoyable thought Just easier way higher. On the road I think there's a lovely balance between ride comfort and connection. The steering is. Some of the best are the available today because there's still a hydraulic a power system system. And it does make a difference. Before you said, Yes, lots of e power systems are now incredibly good. The best give you more than enough feedback to not only place the car accurately, but since the grip and feel the loads. However, the key distinction that I found is they do filter out what could probably be deemed as unnecessary texture to give a cleaner sensation than with a hydraulic system like this one. Just get more of the granular field. It doesn't necessarily add anything to particularly the way that you can get the car down the road but it's just a little bit more talkative. This particular car has got a lot of options on it, actually around 48,000 pounds worth 24, of which so half is all an exposed carbon fiber. But it's unnecessary, I think really? And then there's things like the power adjusted steering column here. You don't need that on a 600 Lt. Neither actually do you need the seats. They look quite fancy but I think they're just a bit of overkill, the standard buckets etc. You get richer, a step up from the comfort seats are wonderful because they're really sort of, they hold you perfectly like a sort of big basically. So I don't think these are strictly necessary. To be honest on delete the IRS infotainment system to Is it still feels pretty unintuitive. In fact, all entertainment on the road is perhaps the 600 LTS biggest failing. The engine is certainly not the nicest. Attractive sounding for road speeds. [NOISE] Most of the time anyway. [NOISE] [LAUGH] Still got the cracks. Yes, this weighs about 50 kilos more than the coupe. But for me. The ability particularly in fact, on the journey home on the road, to put the roof down. Makes a big difference in a car that is all about the feel is not just about the speed. This is not the fastest car mechanic. Does Ben Ray i think is the one that I want, because I think it's the most interactive. All the information that you relied on is you squeeze the last ounce of performance from it on track. Now we've simplified the way home. Take the breaks, for example. It is incredibly. We assume the strongest they are on the track. They still got enough fail and regression in them. So just trim a line just be brushed on the way into a corner. They work on the road too. I love how small their staff feels. It really works is the size on the road because. You don't have that same thing of reading and every time you come to a gap and everything feels nice accessible, you can see both front arches doesn't feel massive welding certainly works in this country and a good British Pharaoh. So from castle Cooney to open countryside, the 600 lt is an all round entertainer The fundamentals of the sport series cars were pretty much spot on to begin with. But as with the 675 lT before it, the long tail alterations that go into making this perform better against the stopwatch also lift its interaction when the pace is more prosaic hardcore at haptic intense But interactive track run.
