The fifth car to carry the Longtail name, the new McLaren 600LT Spider fully embodies the philosophy of increased power, reduced weight, optimised aerodynamics, track-focused dynamics and limited availability. In addition, it brings a new dimension of excitement over the 600LT Coupé, without compromise to the dynamic purity of the most performance-focused car in the Sports Series line-up: a retractable hardtop to give the choice of open-air driving.

The electronic control systems of its twin-turbocharged, 3.8-litre V8 engine have been revised, the cooling system uprated and the shorter exhausts tuned to liberate more power. The 600LT Spider will reach 62mph from a standstill in 2.9 seconds. The maximum speed is 201mph with the roof raised, or 196mph with it lowered.
