What next after GTR??

The mp4 has a sense of occasion I loved those doors on the papaya I drove

R8 V10 Plus takes some beating, especially at price point. The finest lowest mile example is currently for sale at Richard Grace Cars. I know, I've seen it! Totally brand new and he's just reduced it at the weekend

As with any exotic if it goes wrong expect some huge bills, especially if it’s gearbox related.not sure how the Mac indie maket is shaping up!

Aren’t they just called 12c’s? Mate of mine worked on the procurement of certain parts of the car and said they dropped the mp4 bit

My bosses mate has a 12c and he deliberated about renewing the warranty which was about £4K a year. Within a few months of renewing the car needed a new gearbox which would have cost him £18k

V12 Vantage is a great shout.

They did after a couple of years. Originally they were called the MP4-12C then it just became the 12C. So on the V5 etc it will still say MP4-12C on the early cars.

Had my r35 for a while now and would like something a little more exotic/ refined . I love the gtr and at 660bhp I knows there's not much in terms of performance that will match it but it's only a weekend car and I don't track it . Staying under 80k what options are there? R8 v10 plus , cayman gt4 , California, gallardo , f type r or svr? Anyone else changed from a gtr ?

The R8 V10 plus is absolutely superb, the s-tronic gear box is excellent and they fit well within your budget, I had the Capristo valvetronic exhaust on mine and it made a massive difference compared to the stock exhaust.

I have been told if you buy any McLaren, a warranty is an absolute must as the repair bills are astronomical if they go wrong.

And the warranties and running costs will cripple you. My money would be on a GT4
