765LT - road test & day at MTC

[tyrrell]

I think the uk only received 65 coupes and they are all gone, They may have learned there lesson with the 600 LT.

I assume with the 765LT being sold out in the UK that no one was able to obtain any discount unlike the 600LT which has been.

Would be good to know as have been offered a cancelled order but no discount is being offered

Grab it with both hands you lucky git

Only 60 coupes for UK, and yes all gone.

Yes, McLaren learned from their mistakes in the 600LT launch.

There are at least 64 Senna in UK. Plus some additional Senna GTR cars too.

The limiting factor was the lack of punters lining up to trust Mclaren not to do their usual over supply shafting IMO, they would've sold more into UK market but were forced to shift allocations to other markets, still, the exclusivity of the 765LT should end up being a positive thing for the brand in the UK.

Yes, that’s exactly what happened.

But it’s a good thing for us, and for McLaren that it played out this way.

So McLaren have sold / a deposit on each and every 765 coupe; none going to be sitting in a showroom with a price tag.

So much for the doom mongers.

So McLaren have managed to sell 60 vehicles without having to resort to huge discounts to shift them.

And you see this as some sort of stellar achievement?

Wow.



Congratulations to those who've secured one though. Seems to be an epic car.

Wow.

I see a pattern emerging with our friends from the seldom visited Lambo forum.

As per my post, they sold all 765 of the 765 coupes.

Don't remember saying that I seen it as a stellar achievement, but now you mention it, in the current climate it is a pretty good achievement.

Best to check your reply doesn't make you look daft before trying to get a bite on here

If only lambo guys could read almost as well as they can troll.

Awesome! Congratulations.

Perfect timing, to enjoy it through this summer This car will blow your mind, it's so good.

Visually very few cars have grown on me like 720 has.

765LT looks incredible in bright and subdued colours alike.

Performance looks to be without question after watching DragTimes YT.

Very nice, congratulations, epic colour for an epic car :-)

McLaren just dropped a teaser for the Artura, haven't seen any stats yet but I'm assuming it's going to be quicker than the 765LT with its electric assist

Styling looks like a mix of the 720S and Elva

Great time to be a mac enthuisiast currently.

Sold my 650 with the plan on securing a very unique 720 spider when it hopefully comes available in spring, with a brief dally with an intrim 600lt spider that i eventually dismissed.

However, have been bouncing man math about to see if I should push the boundary and go for a base spec 765 spider like btooks coupe on drag times.

However, the Arturo has also been a huge interest to me since the small amount of spec was drip fed and this clip just fueled that more.

Within other correspondence, I actually enquired last week about any further spec and if there was any info on when a spider shall follow, but couldn't be offered any further info.

It was the P1 that made me really like McLarens and with the exception of the battery replacement cost, they made a fantastic car.

7 years on with new technology this should be a corker.

Most likely going to be as quick as a 765 up to a point.

Originally, I wasn't a fan of the pre launch sneak pics of the quad tailpipes, but now i think it looks sooo right.

That looks stunning.

Cannot wait to see more pics after you have collected.
