Of course it isn't limited to colours.

All things 675!

How are you enjoying yours?
Loving it!

Sadly I was pushing her hard in Ibiza and the thermostats went (common issue). Snet ther to Barcelona and they replaced the thermostats and the accumulators under warranty.

Can't wait to drive her next week!

My 650S was an incredible all round car. So good it felt too capable at times and as such less engaging.
You really had to thrash it hard to get any sensation of speed and fun IMHO.

Around town it is better than a 675LT no question and mainly due to the poor steering turn of the LT.

On a fast A or B road the 675LT is different gravy IMHO and so much more raw, involving and fun.
Depends what you want from the car but for me the LT is a far more engaging car and more than achieves what McLaren set out to do with the limited light weight track focussed LT model.
TBH they really went overboard with the 675LT to launch the halo sub brand.
Its massively over engineered for its price point hence blowing the competition away when it was launched.

600LT and 765LT are fantastic sequels but everyone knows the original LT is still the best.

Whilst a 650S and an atom ticks both boxes the 675LT is somewhere in the middle as one car.
As I dont track my supercars , only fast road use, so something as extreme as an atom doesn't appeal to me personally but fully get why your line up suits your personal needs

I don't know why some on here are busting your chops bud. Just ignore them. I agree with what you have said.

675lt is an unreal car.

I have signifigant seat time in many sports cars such as F430, 458, 991 touring, 991 gt3 rs, 991 2rs, 991 speedster, 992 Touring. I have limited seat time in many other cars (performante, aventador, 991 turbo s, etc).

675LT Spider is insane value at the mid to low £200s. Truly Epic! Mine has been getting accumulators and thermostats replaced and is back in Ibiza. I can't wait to drive her tonight. The sense of occasion and "specialness" is unreal.
