McLaren 600LT Spider Pikes Peak Collection

Special commission for McLaren Denver features unique paint shades, dedication plaque, and is limited to just six copies.

McLarens are pretty special on their own. From the F1 to the Senna, every car to leave Woking, England is a masterpiece of styling, performance, and Britishness. Make no mistake: wherever you go in such a car, heads will turn and mouths will drop. How can you top that?

If you’re McLaren Denver, you tap McLaren Special Operations for a commission of six 600LT Spiders to honor one of motorsports’ greatest venues, Pikes Peak. And if you’re one of the lucky six to own such a car, you’ll have quite the special machine.

“It’s really special for us to be able to offer a car like the 600LT Spider, which is already quite special itself with its Longtail heritage, and tie it into Pikes Peak, a race that is so significant to Colorado residents, as well as the racing community globally,” McLaren Denver owner Mike Ward said. “Six very lucky customers will be the proud owners of these amazing McLaren 600LT Spiders, and we can’t wait to see them on the road and on the track in Colorado.”

Each of the six Pikes Peak Collection 600LT Spiders comes in a shade from MSO’s Bespoke and Heritage catalogs, including Nerello Red, Black Gold, and Aurora Blue. The cars are then draped in Satin Gold stripes, come with a plaque denoting their exclusiveness, and are bestowed the MSO Club Sport Pack carbon fiber package, and the racing seats from the Senna.

The special McLaren sextet also has suspension components from the 720S, along with lightweight braking components and bespoke wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Trofeo Rs. And we can’t forget the best part: the ability to enjoy the sun with the top off with the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 putting down 592 horses and 457 lb-ft of torque upon the road to the summit of Pikes Peak.

“We are thrilled that McLaren Denver has created a special, market specific commission based on the 600LT Spider,” said McLaren North America boss Tony Joseph. “These types of commission projects are becoming an important part of our business and it highlights the continued engagement of the dealer network and customers.”

The sextet currently reside on the showroom floor of McLaren Denver, each available at a starting price of $265,000. Their lucky owners will have quite the ride in their garages for sure.
