Its lovely. for the money, I can't see what else youd go for?

[Some Gump]

Wow. That's really quite special.

[jason61c]

It is lovely!

[georgeyboy12345]

Agreed, but..

I'd sooner have this lightly used hardtop in solar red with buff leather interior and £40k in change

These come close (for me)

Ferrari 550 Maranello on split rims - with this colour I'd prefer a dark red interior. It'd also be nice if said interior wasn't starting to fall apart.

If one was available in dark blu pozzi with a tan interior that'd also be nice

or

Ferrari F355 convertible - though I'd prefer this in giallo modena and without the chunky 90s airbag steering wheel

I'd rather have one of these at that sort of money personally -

I agree the Lexus is nice but the McLaren is more my type of car.

Suspension is vastly improved in the later ones, gearbox is poor in them all. Anyone who has driven one in anger will be familiar with the frustrating "beep" of a requested but unfulfilled downshift. That was a deal breaker for me; though they do look fantastic and feel quite special to drive.

What a horrible looking thing, to think of all the nice sports cars out there, there is this maw fronted horror. So it's fast bla bla bla,. I've been in a few Lexus but they just leave me cold, something about them makes them seem not quite right.

+1

I think the Lexus would probably be my pick if I wanted a £100k GT. However I'm more inclined towards something lighter, the 570S seems a really strong blend of power, light weight, and handling.

They get an amazing review, just about everywhere.

You really can't beat a 570S for under £100k.

If I needed 4 seats I'd go for a 911, M8, DB11 or a whole host of other cars before an LC500.

This ^^^

Not sure it would register on any positive lists for me!

Hookers and drugs... Whatever is left buy Dacia. You know it makes sense.

Agreed, if it was a weekend car I would go for the 570S any day. If it was something a bit more everyday I would also go for a 911.

Can you imagine driving this, seeing a 570S pull alongside at the lights and realising you could have got one instead for the same money.

Personally I'd much rather have one of these - https://shop.mercedes-benz.co.uk/vehicle-detail/me...

See, I look at a 570s and just think ‘meh’. I’m not a fan of post 997 model 911’s.

10 year warranty…. And about £400 a year service costs!

[av185]

Its a very wide berth.

Old mans car.

And just not special enough for £100k.

[ZX10R NIN]

At 100k it would be the best 650S I could find:

If I had to spend £100k on a Lexus, I would get this

Not really special but the OPs suggestion would depreciate into something like this example.

Then spend the rest on this (or something similar)
