Having owned a GTR for some i can confirm it’s not ‘intimidating’ on small B roads if you can drive. You don’t need to be Senna, but you need to respect the car, it’ll look after you. The view is fine, the bonnet is long but you get use to it.

+1 As a current owner I agree. Initially they feel ridiculously big and that you are a long way from the front plate but they shrink considerably with familiarity.

Hello!

Think that familiarity comment is key; it's something you get used to, and the car is brilliant, but it's not something that feels that welcoming to begin with. Especially when compared with the McLaren and it's panoramic windscreen.

Great choice of car by the way!

I found the revelation that the 600LT has sold out curious considering that one YouTube "expert" ran a piece about a week ago claiming that McLaren dealers are allegedly awash with unsold cars.

They're sold out in that the factory forced the dealers to buy them all

With both cars having been out for a few years now, has anyone owned both?

Would be interested in hearing anyones thoughts that have driven and lived with both on the road and on track as the GT R Pro is a potential purchase after my 600LT.
