12C looks so much cleaner IMO.

Agree but 650 looks like supercar whilst IMO 12C looks 'too clean' for supercar and reminds me lotus...not enough drama
I personally was disappointed with 12c looks when it arrived
I much prefer 650 look, closer to P1 - smth to consider in few years time

Well that's lovely. The roof intake should be standard

Yeah like the air scoop but maybe a larger rear wing was called for as well ?

It's the wheels that do it for me.

Wonder how much it will be ?!?!

That very press release says £244,500.

Bargain compared to the 650S that PH have just tested at around £300k

re the Le Mans special edition:

- since the car is mechanically unchanged is it fair to assume that the (admittedly cool) roof scoop serves no practical function?
- the wheels and colour are superb.
- the concept of a 'special edition' is surely redundant these days, given the amount of customisation and personalisation available. Therefore, if you chucked enough money at MSO, they'd make you something identical in every way to this Le Mans special edition. (Or, more intriguingly, chuck some more money at them and they could come up with something visually closer to the iconic F1 GTR!)

The Coupe starts at £195k so it's still £50k on top of standard, but yes a Spider spec'd to £300k is a little ridiculous, that's a lot more than mine has and I'd think mine had enough!

With a production run of fifty, methinks the Le Mans special will attract collectors. Irrespective of cost, I bet they're gone in no time!

Aren't they already sold out ? I'm sure I was told I couldn't get one, not that I would have a coupe over a spider

Wouldn't be surprised!
