Continental GTC Speed to 650s or 570s
Discussion
Sorry if this has been asked before.
Since they are about the same money I've been vacillating between swapping in my GT to either a 650S Spider of 570S Spider.
I can't sort a test drive easily at all (though i have had low speed drives in both so i know i fit) as I'm in China for work. The car would live in the UK.
Would I notice a huge difference in performance between the two?
I know the 570 is a newer car but, that's not always a good thing as I often feel that companies learn how to make a car over time...so a late 650S might have less issues?
Would appreciate any advice.

Definitely down to personal preference , me personally have a 570s and have had it longer than any other car which do say something, I never get bored with it and still scares the dh%t out of me when driven hard , I bought as when in a similar situation to yourself I wanted the more modern car granted it’s not as quick , but from what I hear it’s way more reliable, and is a better looking car

Similar to me, although I wanted one with as long a warranty as possible. Went for a 540C after initially looking at a 12C. Being honest, I don't think you will go wrong with either. I struggle to see where I need more performance on the road in my 540C. Doesn't stop me wanting a 720S though!
I have seen quite a few statements from McLaren folk and industry press that the 650S is in fact the most “resolved” McLaren in terms of niggles and issues, but it is a little older obviously than a 570.
I am merely passing on what others have said, but having never owned a McLaren I cannot offer first hand advice. I am sure there will be plenty that can.
I hope you find what you are looking for..post some pics when you do.

I’ve driven both quite extensively and am in the market for a 650S spider. A more visceral driving experience for me - a bit more drama, noise, sense of occasion plus the ride quality with the trick suspension is superior. Love the active aero too. Interior also to my eye a more special place to be. Lastly, I’m 6’3” and with my proportions found the 650 a more comfortable place to be vs 570.
Don’t think you can make a bad decision with these two though; both highly capable machines.

Similar issue as I have.
Do I go 650S or 570S Spider.
My thoughts are :
As I do quite a few track days would the 650 be better with the Aero kit and trick suspension.
It is a bit heavier but has 80bhp more
570 is newer , probably better looking but slower and less trickery .
For same money I can get a 2014/15 650 or a 2016/17 570
A track bias is my preference
Would Appreciate any info on the 2 particularly if anyone has tracked both
