McLaren

is adding yet another Longtail variant to its expanding stable of

supercars

, as teased in the video above. The company doesn’t explicitly say it, but it’s clearly the McLaren 600LT Spider. The upturned exhaust is the first clue that it’s based on

the 600LT

, and as the camera pans around, we see the car’s shadow has a gap where the roof is missing.

Since this new McLaren is a derivative of the 600LT coupe, we assume it will make the same 592 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. Those ponies ought to sound much sweeter without a roof in the way. The 600LT Spider will probably weigh

about 200 pounds less

than the regular

570S

Spider, similar to the weight difference between the coupes. And if

the 570S Spider

is anything to go by, there shouldn’t be much, if any, difference in performance between fixed- and removable-roof 600LT models.

McLaren will reveal the car on January 16, so we won’t have to wait long for all the delectable details. When it launches, it will be the fifth McLaren model to have the Longtail’s LT designation. It won’t be the first convertible, though, since McLaren made

a 675LT Spider

a few years ago.
