In addition to opening the largest McLaren dealership on the planet, I was recently invited to gawk at a couple of McLaren arachnids, the 600LT and 720S Spider. Here are ten things you need to know about the McLaren the 600LT Spider.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. There will be just four examples of this drop-top supercar brought to local shores.<\/li>\n
  2. Its 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 produces 441 kW and 620 N.m and is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.<\/li>\n
  3. Performance figures are incredible, with zero to 100 km\/h coming up in 2.9 seconds, standstill to 200 km\/h in 8.4 seconds and a top speed of 324 km\/h, or 315 km\/h with the roof down.<\/li>\n
  4. The Spider is 50kg heavier than its Coupe sibling at 1\u00a0289kg, with the obvious trade-off being infinite headroom in the former.<\/li>\n
  5. The 600LT and 600LT Spider are the only other McLaren production models where a customer can specify the same carbon-backed bucket seats as seen in the hypercar, McLaren Senna.<\/li>\n
  6. Its folding hard-top can go up or down in just 15 seconds.<\/li>\n
  7. There are three driving modes \u2018Normal\u2019, \u2018Sport\u2019 and \u2018Track\u2019.<\/li>\n
  8. The \u2018LT\u2019 stands for Longtail, making the 600LT Spider the fifth car to wear this exclusive badge.<\/li>\n
  9. The first customer car in South Africa (pictured) is finished in MSO Lime Green.<\/li>\n
  10. The 600LT and 600LT Spider models are the only McLarens to have the top-exit dual exhaust system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
