Good on you Leg, very glad you've been open minded enough to give one a whirl as a die hard Ferrari fan!

Looking forward to hearing your views.

I'm a car fan, I like anything that isn't a boring box. I do however, as you rightly say, have preferences but it's important to point out that whilst I may not like the looks of the sports series front end, I've never said they're bad cars, just that they weren't the be all and end all. Astons, Maserati, Lambos, Ferraris, McLaren's etc- lets face it, they're all great cars. It's simply personal preference that dictates which we each own.

I could already list 2 things I much prefer about my Ferraris to this 570S but I could already list 2 things I prefer about the McLaren to the Ferraris. TBH I could list a few things I prefer about my Porsche to both of those too. Nothing is perfect.

I'll wait till I've had it a few more days before I comment.

570S Spider they lent me...

That looks like the car they unveiled at Goodwood, absolutly stunning.

[dsl2]

Good stuff.

If your giving it the big un do make sure its in sport handling / sport or track powertrain setting with the ESC first stage off (or its way too nanny with no power until its dead straight) or it can get a tad lary over bumps especially when hard on the brakes.

Are those silver coloured switches plastic or metal?
Looking forward to your thoughts on the car

[RamboLambo]

Cool.

Metal I think, hard to tell as they're quite thin.

Wow! Absolutely stunning that 600LT! Great choice of colour also!

[TheKC]

Not sure which one I prefer. The one below or the one you posted.

The grey one above (is it ceramic grey?) looks lovely!

Not sure? It was presented in Mclaren Tokyo. Would look even better with a little more orange lining or accents imo.

[TheKC]

The interior is rather lovely too.

I generally think McLaren interiors are a bit bland but crikey, that's too far the other way. Arrgh, my eyes.

I quite like the contrast. But I wouldn’t have the red on the dash tho.

Looks fairly basic inside, no carbon interior or Sill finisher or alcantara.

Have you failed to spot the Carbon Tunnel, Carbon Surrounding the Nav/Gears, Carbon Paddles, Carbon Seats, Carbon Stems on the steering wheel??????

Oh, and you must've not spotted the Alcantara padding no the seats!
