Starting out the longtail body design of the McLaren 600LT helps to improve downforce levels. This supercar gets up to 100 kg at 250 km/h (155 mph). This level of downforce works to achieve better grip and stability when driving at high speeds on the track. The longtail body achieves these impressive downforce levels by having the airflow separated to go around, over, under, and through the McLaren 600LT. The rear end has also been extended improve the downforce even further.

Behind the front splitter is another part that works to improve and generate downforce. The carbon fibre floor is lighter and stiffer with blades that help create downforce.
