Just had an email from McLaren stating that a new car is soon to be launched. The video attached talks about The Edge.

The back end teaser picture looks very much like a Sports Series so is this a stripped out track version or something else?

Aha, 570 (or thereabouts) LT.

Sounds about right. Thanks!

I've been a defender of RL on here many times because I just don't like the ganging up attitude that often prevails on PH and he is at least a real car enthusiast. But really Rambo back the fk off on this one please.
I understand your need to defend yourself against some of the slating you get here, I'm with on that, but not this, you really are being a knob now.

Tell me whats wrong with my first reply to the question. A simple factual reply. I will respond accordingly to goading and abuse though so don't post abuse if you are a snowflake. Some people need to man up FFS

Gotta say I'm confused!
RL just said that he's known about it ages (as did i) & ordered one a while back. He bought the 570s specifically to get in his dealers good books & get an allocation.

Most people have known that there was going to be an LT version of the Sports Series for a good while now, recently we've known it was going to be called the 600LT.

Personally, that email from McLaren was the first time I've heard of 'The Edge'. A little confusion is understandable IMHO.

Some pictures of a disguised car here.

If the tail pipes are anything to go by, this is very good news. That may mean this will use a proper twin scroll turbo set up with the turbos located in the engine V... and simplify the intercooling by switching to lateral air to air intercoolers in the engine bay closer to the inlet manifolds instead of the two frontal air to liquid intercoolers used on all the other cars so far.

Is the engine even still based on the 3.8 or on the more recent 4.0 unit?

I can't see them down-spec'ing the 720s's 4.0 engine for the 600LT, it'll be a 'turned-up' version of the 3.8 unit to keep the distinction between Sports and Super Series.

Exciting though thumbup

LOL at this thread.

Did some people not believe that McLaren would make an LT version of the Sport Series or something?

as far as I know, all of the LT's are allocated to customers? Having owned a 570s I thought I may be able to get one through my local dealer, however, I believe I have just missed out!!

Has anybody else secured one??
