I'm probably in a minority of one here but I just cannot get on with the styling of the front of the 675LT... indeed the 650S. It just looks like a sad face with great big tears streaming down it

12C a much more resolved design.

Cant see it being so sale for much longer at that price. Considering they are around 300 once topped up with options. Wonder if this has anything to do with the news of the Spiders on the way

That is frigging awesome. What a fantastic looking car. Just love it !

Mind you makes a nearly new 650s at half the price a bargain

yeah but mind you compared to the dealers trying it on at £500k this is also a bargain!! The Mclaren market is very weird and will probably remain so for a number of years until they have a formalised range of cars.

Very small premium - wonder why.

Be interesting to see if it sells quickly, if it does the premium will go up, if not it won't. The £500k car at Prindiville will have cost the first owner roughly £350k so the market is clearly being sounded out.

I will be the happiest guy in the World if mine more or less retains its value, it is probably the best car of our time that is not already out of production.

Agree, the 675LT is top of the list (although, whilst its in production, one can't actually order one any longer ... )

It is funny to see you using theories that you refuted when comparing 12C and 650S a few months back...
I am sorry but the 675LT is a a MUCH bigger improvement on yout perfect 650 compared to the tiny step that the 650 represents on the 12C....

The 12C is the true bargain here !

Interesting that that price didn't start with a 4. Shmee has alluded that he's been offered a lot over list for his a couple of times. He won't be happy when it's not worth much over list anymore tongue out

Are these prices speculation or have any cars actually sold at this level? Only car I know that has sold was through McLaren dealer for a little over 300.

Another one for sale here in NL: http://www.louwmanexclusive.com/nl/cars/mclaren-65...
Already since end of last year, and 420K euro means 320 GPD (ex tax).

Speculation and high asking(!) prices are completely different then what real people are really paying for these kind of cars.

Of course the 675LT is special, but not that special compared with other cars in this price range, and/or cars like a 650S or even 570S are special enough for a significant better price.

What a fab car the 675LT is. Did they forget to finish the paint job on this one? Looks like primer... And totally clashes with the interior. Perhaps the price reflects that to a certain extent?

Not a fan of McLaren styling generally, but this example looks lovely.

Great photos, some stunning details.

Agree the 12C is a bargain at the moment hence why buyers are voting with their cash but the defining difference between 12C and 650S is the massive increase in Torque, improved sound track and carbon ceramic brakes. Comparing like for like the price gap 12C to equivalent 650S is £50k and well worth it IMHO as it addresses all the areas that 12C was rightly or wrongly heavily criticised for.

The price gap 650S to 675LT is a massive £150k. You could get a half decent 12C coupe track car to go with your 650S spider for that money

I had both F430 spider and 430 Scuderia and I would suggest the difference between those 2 cars was far greater than 675LT to 650S.
Today in a crazy Ferrari market where the Scuderia is coveted the price gap is £100k.

Personally I think 1000 675 LT's is far too many for McLaren when 650S production is only 2,500.
Don't get me wrong 675 LT is a cracking car and I had a letter of intent in for a spider for a year but decided against pulling the trigger as after the initial hype I don't see the values being meteoric like some Ferrari's

I saw the car the day it arrived. It listed at 320k and they sold it on the first day. It had loads of mso options and was wrapped.

The owner has loads of cars hence selling.

Obviously an amazing car but i cannot get my head around the values
