Now that the 600LT Coupe is approaching the end of production, all eyes are on the more expensive 600LT Spider. The most thrilling Sports Series ever offered by McLaren also happens to be a prime candidate for MSO customization, as demonstrated by McLaren of Denver.
The Pikes Peak Collection consists of six examples of the breed, each sporting Satin Speedline Gold wheels and visual enhancements such as the matte-black stripes over the roof and front trunk. Even the headrests feature exclusive embroidery, sporting the Pikes Peak logo in gold.
The finishing touch as far as MSO customization is concerned comes in the guise of a plaque, reading “Pikes Peak Collection – 1 of 6” to bring the point home. The Club Sport Pack adds carbon fiber to the already lightweight supercar, and the wheel bolts are made from titanium.
As you can tell from the photo gallery, each 600LT Spider is finished in a Bespoke of Heritage color. In no particular order, McLaren of Denver chose Midas Grey, Black Gold, White Gold, Volcano Red, Aurora Blue, and Nerello Red. Speaking of the British company’s legacy, we’re surprised that Papaya Orange hasn’t been featured even though this color dates back to 1968 and the M7A with the Cosworth DFV high-revving V8 powerplant.
The most hardcore McLaren in the Sports Series makes use of a 3.8-liter V8 with twin-turbocharging technology. Even though it’s not on par with the engine in the 650S and P1, the 600LT cranks out an admirable 592 horsepower and 457 pound-feet on full song. That’s enough for 2.8 seconds to 60 miles per hour and a top speed of 201 mph with the top up.
McLaren plans to discontinue the 600LT Spider sometime next year, and for the time being, pricing starts at $256,500 before options and destination charge in the United States of America. It remains to be seen for how long McLaren plans to keep the current generation of Sports Series models alive, more so if you remember the 720S and Speedtail are on a different level altogether.
As a refresher, the 570S and China-only 540C entered production in 2015.
