Having driven a 600LT and 720S back-to-back a couple of times I can see where McLaren can take the 765LT.
The 600LT is beautifully connected to the road and gives a real sense of confidence in the handling. It's probably over-used, but a big go-cart is an apt description. Compared to the 720S however, it feels relatively slow - you don't get that "Holy f*ck" sensation you do when flooring the 720S.
I'd agree that the 765LT doesn't need more power than the 720S but realistically was always going to have a bit more. The LT series isn't about having more power though - it's about being a more direct connection to the road and therefore being a more raw experience.

Understand £280 list plus options. so £300-400k with options.
Quite a few 675's were specc'd upto circa £400k, so this wouldn't surprise me...........but jeez, you'd need balls and extra deep pockets to be handing over £400k to Mclaren for a new car..........and I'm a current owner!Sarnie said:

“Well nobody really wants the coupe version of the Lt, the spider has always been much more popular, we see your car today at £250k “
Fantastic used buy when it’s shed this kind of money, in such a short period of time, unfortunately for McLaren their piss poor residual values, is a result of over supply and disorderly marketing.
They are making 765 of coupe along with 765 spiders 15% of production for UK market, meaning dealers will have a total of around 230 cars to shift, thats around 28 per dealer so plenty to go round.
As I say love the car but would never buy new, I wish them the best of luck with the car.
