.........not for £300k though.............
I loved all the videos and journalism surrounding the 675LT, but is it's £150k excess over a plain 650S justified? I haven't driven a 675LT, but the difference seems excessive, and rarity can't explain it at the moment because there are as many 650S' for sale as LT'sSarnie said:
Someone is selling a Napier Green LT Spider for circa £300k on the Owners Group on FB...............
I haven't come across it nor seen it advertised but if you have a link or details of the car it would be appreciated as someone who is trying to find one at that sort of pricepointbaypond said:

Yes absolutely much better than the 650 in countless ways. The best 300-400k car on the market and to explain it in some way, it performs like a £1m hypercar on circuit and has the best ride and handling of any current super car by a long shot. My one...

High praise indeed and that spec looks stunning. How would you compare it to 458 speciale and where do you see the relative prices given the special is the last N/a V8 ferrariMy one...

So good that you wanted to sell it earlier in the year....? 
I absolutely love the LT, but could I justify almost twice the price of my 650S? No, absolutely not, even when I look at the rear lights on my 650S, as much as I hate the look of mine from the back, I still wouldn’t consider changing it at that gap. I’ve driven my 650S in plenty of anger now and once the tyres are warm, it’s such a playful progressive car. I hate how the suspension stiffness is linked to the traction control tho and I can’t imagine how much of a pain in the ass and even stiffer suspension setup like the LT’s would perform on our UK roads, I actually think the 650S would out perform an LT 9/10 times on UK roads side by side, so I’m sticking to that as it suits me. For now! :-)

I had a Speciale, drove the pair back to back on a few occasions over last year and kept coming to the same conclusion, the only thing better about the Ferrari was the demand for them. I didn't even like the noise of the Spec that much. Edited by RamboLambo on Wednesday 4th October 17:33
Ride quality, handling, noticeably lighter and noticeably faster were the main driving characteristics that led me to shift on the Speciale.

stunning. I would want one with the bonnet louvres, but about the roof scoop, I heard that on the Le Mans edition there was a lot of wind noise caused by the air rushing through the roof?
There is more induction noise than without the roof scoop but it is a good noise. Sounds like someone was spinning you a line based on assumptions. The LT is a far better finished car than the LeMans edition. To put it into perspective even the wiring loom and airbags were redesigned to remove unnecessary weight. It's such a different car to drive.isaldiri said:

Advertising and wanting to sell are two different things... thanks for your input... to complete the picture for you I sold the Speciale instead and kept my order in for something else...Edited by Hollowpockets on Thursday 5th October 12:29
