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! :-)
You'd be wrong to think that but keep telling yourself that to save the 150k, the LT seriously outperforms the 650 over the highland roads I've had both on

Also you can relax the traction in normal or sport without going to track setting. Don't think it's in the owners manual though. With active dynamics panel engaged Press and hold the two buttons inside the handing and power toggle to disable traction and stability, think pressing the esc button reduces it by 50%

I just done a back to back of my lt and gt3rs on the road over the cotswolds etcThe lt is amazing on uk roads,soaks it all up,it aint stiff just clever.The rs keeps you alive and thriving like a bucking bronko especially in the dark,shame is the rs would not see where the lt has gone,and i had thought of selling the lt 001.

Hollow just got back from seeing the orange beesty cut inhalf for its reverse transplant,i said to fit a wider mirror to keep a eye on the maca in the mirror;)
