Is this the first MSO 688 HS delivery????

[Streetrod]

I have to say it does look sweet, one of only 25 to be made. Please Please Please McLaren do not make a spyder version

In answer to the title question, no, it was not the first, but it was one of the first.
They will not be making a spider version.

makes the 675 lt look obsolete already !

Is that rain outside or the sound of 675 premiums tumbling ?

[tyrrell]

Looks fantastic, love the contrast of the grey and orange together

[hornbaek]

Another exclusive "special project" by Mclaren - looks gorgeous though and only spoiled by that guy who tries to make himself seem important.

[RamboLambo]

Lifting the McLaren brand even higher. No wonder these cars are in demand and fetching silly premiums

What a stunning looking machine.

I love the contrasting orange and grey.
Looks like it'll get driven too instead of parked in a collection somewhere.

Good stuff indeed

Prices are defiantly softening - but true across the market - with some exceptions!

With the spiders being delivered, prices of coupes were always going to get hit.

No, I was referring to the guy in the video.

So how is the HS flemke? Much noticeable difference over the LT out on the road?

The 675lt bubble is certainly coming down now..same cars on the market for a lomg tim,e and not selling. The 675 Spider that top555 have has gone from £399k to £379k and now £365k - this to me signifies that there is no interest at this price level for these cars.

I agree the bubble is deflating on them, but @365k it still looks better value than the Speciale at 350k on 4k miles.

I suppose the prancing horse will always hold its own.

Yeah exactly the same as the overpriced Speciales that have been sat for 12 months.
At least Amari have a speciale more sensibly priced at £300k but even that is circa £60k over list and it remains unsold.

You dream up a figure and ask any price you want but at the end of the day the market talks and its clear no one is prepared to pay these premiums anymore. It was always a bubble waiting to burst

I'd agree, although I wouldn't say the bubble has burst until cars are being sold at below original purchase price. Just making a smaller return on a speculative purchase shows the market is weakening, but not collapsing.

I agree that we are not seeing a collapse, but we are witnessing the same cars for sale for a long time, and now the prices are begining to come down in the hope of selling. The problem is that there are too many cars all competing for very few buyers. It is just like the housing market in 2009 - the sellers were in denial...

I think the sweet spot for the 675lt has come and gone - attenstion will now shift to the P14. No wonder Apple are keen on McLaren - they see similar product cycles and product introductions.
