A few days ago we brought you this story of a new, more hardcore McLaren 570S.

More info

As we speculated at the time, the new model will make its public debut at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed. Earlier today the British sportscar specialist confirmed the launch date of the newcomer as June 28 at the English event.

An earlier image showed us some aero bits and pieces on the rear end, along with semi-slick Pirelli rubber. Today McLaren released this image of a pair of formidable top-exit exhausts.

The car, which will be driven up the famous Goodwood Hill Climb for the first time on Thursday July 12, will be the fifth model to be announced under McLaren’s Track22 business plan.

Limited edition

For some time it has been speculated that a top of the range Sports Series model will be called the McLaren 600LT. The name denoting the power output in horsepower, or 442 kW in new money, with the LT standing for Long Tail.

McLaren says the new model will benefit from increased power, minimised weight, optimised aerodynamics and enhanced driver engagement. It will also deliver track-focused dynamics. And like the McLaren Senna, the most recent model revealed by the Woking-based company, it will be limited to the few.
