Over two years into ownership and absolutely loving this car, coming from a Ferrari 458, Porsche GT3 and Lotus Exige 410 the McLaren 600 LT Spider is a truly fabulous car, my favourite of the lot, the 600 LT really gets under your skin, it is the McLaren I always said I'd own and now I have one, love it!

I enjoyed this, enjoyed just hearing your thoughts. The 600 lt has the best profile of the Mclarens in my opinion.

Yeah I always loved P1 but no other McLaren did anything for me until 600 came out just the side profile and top mount exhaust such a special car to drive.

And you'll be pleased to hear that in the US, there are no insurance companies that include track coverage. A single day with Open Track is $1200.

Greatly appreciate this comprehensive review/breakdown mate. Even though the 675lt is my dream car,the 600lt will be my entry into the supercar world and tbh, the 600lt is very close in almost every metric to the 675lt anyway, so I'll be very close to my dream in this👍🏿

+1 on the track inspection cost. It's even more expensive here in the US, 2 years of extended warranty is around $10k and the cost for both inspections is about $950. There's a video knocking around of the US CEO talking about the "trivial" $600 cost few years ago, just to rub salt into the wound......

Stunning car, really enjoy how in-depth you dive into your ownership experience! I would love to hear some of your takes between the 600lt vs 675lt since they are both track oriented models and similarly priced. What makes you choose the 600lt over the 675lt?
@Gibbo2054 ай бұрын
I've got a video going live Friday comparing the 750S to my 600 LT and these thoughts should ring similar to 675 vs 600, I like all the McLarens but I prefer the feel and sensations I get from the more basic suspension setup of the sport series, find the more engaging and feel. The super series are more capable but lack some of the engagement and feel I want, but are still generally better than competing Ferrari's etc.

Is the painted area on your wheels palladium? I have black 10 spokes, but like you I hate black wheels and am planning to buy a set of the 5 spoke. I was going to get them diamond cut with black, but I like the look of yours. I'm pairing them with McLaren Orange and carbon.

Can you also clarify "ESC Dyn off". Do you mean you're in DYN on track, or all the way off? I've only done two track days so far so have only gone as far as DYN, but I also like the rear when it's moving around.
@Gibbo2052 ай бұрын
Dynamic traction enabled, so it allows more slip angle but still some safety net enabled.

@@Gibbo205 I'm waiting for a slower track with plenty of run-off before I go all the way! lol. COTA has a lot of escape routes, but it's fast as hell everywhere, and the other two tracks nearby, although slower, aren't places you'd want to be spinning. I ran Trofeo Rs for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and it'll also be the last. They were unpredictable enough that I didn't even go to DYN. I'd rather run on Corsas, less outright grip but much more reliable when you reach the limit. Back to Goodyear Eagle 3R for me.
