Heres the first I believe - Chris Harris on the 570s.

Well that was fun...and it has just made the £300k 675LT seem very expensive and unnecessary.

Interesting how several of the views say it's as good, if not better than the 650S. It does seem McLaren have played a blinder with this car. I did have the chance to look round one (not drive) a few days ago and I am very impressed by it indeed, it is their strongest effort to date and shows a new maturity for them as a manufacturer.

A small detail, but getting in and out is so much easier due to the lower height of the sill.

like with all cars not when you price the car up how you want it with options or any paint.

then it's a £170k car :-(

Best looking McLaren to date imo. This or a 911 turbo, I think McLaren would get my money!

Yes this is definitely a £170k car with spec. For that, you can have a one year old 650s (and even a 650 Spider).

Mmm,

Keep this,


And buy this,



Or buy a 540/570 ?

It does look a great car and gets the thumbs up from everyone who has seen and driven it.

I was completely indifferent about this car 24 hours ago. Now it is consuming my thoughts. Seems to be a winner. I still don't like the front which reminds me of a smiley vampire.

lovely spec 12c - but is that front window tints I spot? :O

I think the 12c is a pretty thing the 570s isn't something Id describe as pretty (although I absolutely love it) its more functional imo. If you were to switch from the 12c to the 570s what colour would you opt for?

I totally agree, I love the 12c front but think the rear of the 540/570' is nicer.

Yes, tints ;( they were on when I bought it and to be honest I was going to remove them , but I don't like the attention at the traffic lights or when your moving slow through traffic,

Whoever specked this car loved carbon fibre, I don't think there is anywhere else you can put it on the car, and I suppose as its already been said if you were to spec a 570 the same it would be £35k more, as for colour I like the grey one they do that I've seen pictures posted on here.

I will defiantly go and drive one of the 540/570s and see how they compare as a future change possibility, I don't need 650 bhp in one as I doubt it would keep with my Caterham on track any way including Spa.

Agreed. Much nicer than the 650/675 too (which admittedly isn't much different from the 12C)

That does look nice. So does the Alfa.
