    When I was driving this McLaren 600LT Spider, it was well over 100F, but it was worth it. What do you think about this British supercar?

    The reason the Senna seats in that spec was wide was because it was the "touring" version of the pads for big Americans. The standard or narrow pads are actually thicker and provide the tighter fit you are accustomed to. The pads are all that need to be changed to convert to standard size and can be retrofitted at a Mclaren dealer for a cost.

      You have to be enormous to fit into those seats.

    Brian, love your work, as always. The "How to Spec Your 600LT" and price sections seem to suggest one can still order a new 600LT from McLaren. If memory serves, when McLaren made both the coupe and the Spider, they basically only made the coupe one year, then the spider the following year, and said they weren't going to make any more. And in some states in the US, as fine a car as it is, they just sat on the lots at McLaren dealerships for months on end. Are you suggesting that one can still order a brand new 600LT in the US? My question comes in Dec 2020 and your post was 4 weeks ago, was your review done in 2020?

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s a segment we’ve been doing for the last seven months. Surprised you haven’t seen it. Regardless of the vehicle, it serves to provide context for key data points and considerations about the vehicle. Even the recent 430 Spider episode included that segment.

    Hey Brian! Great review as usual, quick question...... being that you’ve driven both a 675 and 600LT’s which do you prefer? Some journalists have said they prefer the more analog 600 to the pro-active chassis/active aero 675LT, but then again some prefer the 675....just curious what you think 🤔

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question, James. 675LT all day long. Love that car. It has that special, magical supercar quality. The suspension was part of the charm, but the rest of the car is so raw. I love it.
      (I'll let you in on a little secret: most journalists can't drive. Shh!)

    Awesome car - McLaren really has fantastic Spiders. Unfortunately they often have issues (electrical etc. - ask me how I know). Also tracking will get expensive as they require pre & post track inspections at the dealership (unlike say Porsche).

      @@BrianMakse roof sensor, steering column calibration and more problematic, door/window issues. All fixable problems but not confidence inspiring for long term ownership. As for tracking expenses, I can understand a pre-track inspection but requiring a post-track one and that both be done at a dealership is a bit much IMO...

    "PS" is literally just horsepower (it stands for pferdestarke, German for "horse power"). It's just metric horsepower instead of imperial horsepower.
