McLaren imo have nailed the McLaren 675LT
Discussion
this car just looks amazing, the tech is cool and can we talk about performance !!
0-124mph in 7.9 seconds !
541bhp/ton
weight is down A LOT , it does seem the ultimate Super Series sports car.
Never been a fan of the McLaren, always been a bit soft, but the 675LT seems a mega thing.

thought it was about 300k or very close with the right bits,? I agree the nos look impressive, but its not all about the speed, or we would all be in 800BHP GTRs, for me this car has to have fun, and interaction above the 12c and 650s.
Also I would have like to have seen more use of CF for this price, the above is 50k above a well spec Spz, in relation to the RS, well we are at the buy one get one free stage....

I completely agree. Star of Geneva for me.
The 650s was an improvement but with the extra body length, the vastly more muscular sides/shoulders (which always looked too lean and feminine on both 12c and 650s), the aggressive behind etc. this new LT is the first Mac to really nail it and looks sensational to my eyes. One of the best looking cars i've seen for a long time and I love this Chican grey as well. Front, back, sides ... all look stunning.
From the pics and vids, i'm feeling more want than anything other launches incl. RS, 488, Regera, R8 etc. I think my 2016 plans for a used speciale have now shifted onto one of these. Let's hope they plummet like the proverbial lead balloon !

in the flesh it looks a lot better.
One would hope so, I'd have to single out the exhausts (and their surrounds) as the least cohesive part of the rear aspect.in the flesh it looks a lot better.
But at least I can see where the boys at McLaren drew their inspiration from now.....
Anyone care to guess how many more updates/facelifts there'll be over the next 18 months - 2 years ?

£300+k with the visible cf. I got to £290k with only one piece of cf (rear bumper) but admittedly some unnecessarily fancy paint.. the car looks much better in the metal IMO but needs a dark colour to show itself properly, ideally black.

The best thing about the car is going to be the weight. Mclaren so far have been spot on with their factory weights unlike Porsche/Ferrari and even adding back the weight of the front lift (absolute must) and aircon it's likely to weigh in fully fueled at probably ~1350kg. That's going to be almost 150kg lighter than most real world fully fueled Speciales and likely the 991 RS is going to weigh in actual weight at near ~1475kg as well.
