With the 675LT now looking to be available at an almost reasonable £240-250k which of these two would be the better buy now?

I still think the 675 will slide a little more but I think it'll be the better buy in the long run. They only made 1000 in total.

The 600lt currently isn't limited & from what I've heard they'll make as many as they can sell!

I was also thinking that pound for pound in a straight out fight that the 675 is from the super series range and packed with better tech/power! Always liked the 675 and I’m maybe one of the few that prefer the lines of the coupe!

This looks fantastic but about 100k too expensive yikes

Define "better"?

I'm pretty sure the 675LT will still be the faster, better car that will suffer less depreciation......but LT owners/buyers are now going to have to soon enough start factoring in extended warranty costs as they approach 3 years old now. Personally I'd rather a 675LT and stomach the running costs over the depreciation of the 600LT......

But then the 600LT is the new shiny thing to have........

Romans have a reasonable looking Volcano Orange Coupe asking £230k currently, which is 720 money (though it appears to only have standard seats). Surely the 720 would be a better buy than a 600LT for the same money, if neither is production limited?

600lt might be faster in a straight line, 675 better on track

it's a good question tbh, i'd wait and see what the reviewers say etc

I prefer the looks of the 675 by a big margin - so based on that I would buy one of those.
I also agree with others that it will probably depreciate less and in the long run will be the better buy financially

I really want one, but can't afford it unfortunately. Would love to have that as my track car and summer daily/Autobahn car

IMO the 675LT couple with roof scoop is one of the best looking modern cars available!

Imo the roof scoop breaks up the roofline too much as it bulges out. It's nothing like as integrated as on the P1 and looks like exactly what it is, a fudge tacked on to the P11 cars.

The standard 675 coupe for me is the one to have amongst the modern McLaren cars. That said, the 600lt is very likely to be a brilliant car to drive as well.

What annoys me more visually is the unpainted carbon on the air inlets, bonnet and similar on some cars. The worst is on a Ferrari 430 the soll’s that kick up by the rear tyre

Better in that the 675LT has the interconnected front-rear suspension and the 600LT doesn't. IMO you can definitely tell McLaren took tens of thousands of pounds of technology out to turn the Super Series in to the Sports Series.

Who cares ? We have had a whole week or two with no arguments, accusations of trolling or any other juvenile behaviour.

Enjoy it whilst it lasts as chances are he has only been given a month.
