What makes a McLaren a long tail version

Post by peterc »

I am not a bird expert but I know that a Wagtail is easy to recognise as it has a very long tail. Equally it’s quite easy to recognise a long tail 917 Porsche as having a significant extra bodywork beyond a normal 917.
But I certainly can’t tell a McLaren 600LT from it’s siblings.
Yes, folks the new 600LT is just 47 mm longer than a 570S.
Yes, it’s a significantly improved car but is the title just sales hype to persuade the wealthy to part with another £185K

If you see if changing down for corner then you will recognise it because the exhausts are just in front of the rear wing and they tend to spit out blue flames. The wing is designed to cope with 300C.

Those two holes at the back aren't for drinks-can recycling then?
