McLaren has three distinct tiers in its model range: Sport, Super and Ultimate. But the line between the three continues to blur, thanks to cars like the 600LT. With 441kW and 620Nm on tap, the 600LT is capable of hitting 100km/h in just 2.9 seconds and keeps pulling to 328km/h if given a long enough stretch of road. That's fairly super in essentially every measurable way.

There are good days at the office, and then there are days where your only job is to thrash a pair of McLaren supercars around a scenic, coastal circuit. The team at Autocar has been putting the 720S head-to-head with its more expensive, track-focused sibling lately, but the comparison has been purely numbers-based. In the final instalment of the four-part series, Dan Prosser throws science to the wind and flogs the two cars around around a track to see which is more fun.

McLaren has removed the few concessions to road-going comfort in the 'regular' Senna, creating the utterly bonkers Senna GTR in the process. Just look at that diffuser! Just 75 examples of the production GTR will be built, and none of them will see time on the road. This is a track-only proposition, capable of making more than 1000kg of downforce. McLaren says it will be the fastest non-Formula 1 car in its line-up around a track and, on looks alone, we believe them.

Car makers, like rock bands, often try to return to earlier glories. And like many of the stars of yesteryear, they often fail to pull it off. The modern McLaren Automotive is a very different company from the tiny offshoot of the Formula 1 team that created the original McLaren F1 more than 20 years ago, but it still returns to the lodestone of its original road car when it needs inspiration for crazier projects.
