650S Le Mans vs 675 LT

[Beefmeister]

I've been musing recently, from a purely philosophical POV (as I haven't the cash to buy either) about which would be the better purchase.

650S Le Mans - Normal 650S powertrain but with lots of lovely extra bits like carbon everywhere, special (gorgeous) wheels, roof scoop, wing vents etc, only 50 made.



c.£270,000

675LT - 666bhp, hugely changed car in reality, absolutely epic thing, but..... 500 made (1000 if you include the Spiders)



c. £350,000

Which one would be the better investment as a car to keep and drive as intended for say, 5 years?

I'm tempted to say Le Mans due to the rarity and lower starting cost.

All interesting points.

As I said, this is pure speculation but I'd say that in 10yrs they may well be worth the same amount, but you'd have started £90k lower with the Le Mans.

Agree with Rambo, the LM certainly got overshadowed by the LT and for good reason, they really are another level above the 650S. But I think the LM will be a gem in the future.

I think a nice clean original 12C will be seen as the most beautiful in the future. It's a very pretty car.

IF the roof scoop and wing vents are what you are after, then you can spec them on the 675LT:

Yeah, and only for about £40k...

I think the carbon wing vents are lovely on the LT, but I'm talking more about the investment potential of the two cars.
