A sexy beast has been let loose on the streets of Hong Kong, and it comes courtesy of acclaimed automobile marque McLaren. Yes, we’re talking about the McLaren 600LT, the fourth model in the iconic Longtail range and so far the lightest, most powerful and fastest model to join McLaren’s hallowed Sports Series.
Explaining why the 600LT is a fitting addition to the Longtail range, Charlotte Dickson, Head of North Asia McLaren Automotive Asia Pacific, explains: “The 600LT is a testament to McLaren’s unwavering commitment to producing the ultimate supercars through pioneering design and ground-breaking engineering. McLaren 600LT pushes driving performance to the absolute edge.”
While it may seem a bit like PR speak, with its impressive specifications, the 600LT is more equipped than most to deliver on this claim. Indeed, thanks to its carbonfibre body and relatively light weight of 1,274kg that allows for breathtaking acceleration, juxtaposed with McLaren Senna-inspired brakes for accurate stopping, this car can be a fine example of precision control in the right hands.
With this wondrous automobile, McLaren breathes life into its famous Longtail range. The legacy of the Longtail began in 1995, when the McLaren F1 GTR swept to victory at Le Mans at the first attempt, becoming one of the most important racing cars in motorsport history.
