Don't forget GT2RS adm which absolutely will go down into the calculation of what money you actually lose. Historically Mclaren's do lose, but limited (either via production or dictated number) ones seem to do fine. Don't forget the 600lt is at minimum 100k less (often more) than the 675 when announced and back then when they brought the spider out people dumped the coupe because they got caught buy surprise...this time we know a spider is coming out...So they may fall a bit, but not for a bit, and even then, more to the tune of 50k than 100 or 150k as some of the older ones have. My vote is obv for the 600lt, but I'm biased haha.

I was not impressed by the 570. However the 600lt adds that extra sense of rawness that I’m intrigued by it. After owning an rs and a touring, and looking at all the games surrounding the brand, a change to the 600lt would be desirable. Going to look very closely at one of these. I’m currently working on a 720- waiting for the right spec, but if I can’t find one- might work with the dealer to consider one of these.
$25,000 deposit at your local Mclaren dealer and you have your allocation. If you want one, you can get one.

Yes, the 675 lost a lot because it was nearly twice as expensive at the end of the day, and that price bracket tends to react a bit differently, not saying the 600lt isn't going to lose, but it will lose WAY less than when ADM is factored into the 2rs pricing as at least 100k of what most paid for if they had to is going down the tubes. A 280k 600lt isn't going to be worth 200k nearly as quickly as the Gt2rs ADM pricing will lose it's steam. Heck, dealers are TRYING to sell 2rs' for 100k over now...6 months ago that was 150-200k...plus, sports cars that you actually drive are supposed to lose value...only until the GT car craze hit did anyone think they could really gain.

The 675LT was limited yes, but 1000 units was a lot of volume relative to the buyer’s market.
I remember reading a Mclaren exec saying they only made just over 3000 units across all P14 variants.
That at would mean nearly 1 in 3 cars were 675LT!
At at least with the 600LT, we know 1 year of production. Assuming the 570 platform goes through a quick 5 year production cycle, maybe that will lead to a ratio of 1 in 5 cars will be a 600LT.
Not exactly collector status by any means, but I’m not expecting the same monstrous depreciation the 675LT faced.

Brutal, LOL.
I prefer the GT3RS.
Needs an exhaust and then it’s pretty entertaining, but it’s already hard to fully enjoy and I can’t image wringing out a GT2RS on track, let alone on the street.
If you are going to track it a lot, I still trust Porsche cars over McLarens.

What do the Mclaren track folks do about running harness, hans etc? Are there half cages out there for those?

I agree Peter - I love the 600LT, at least for what it appears to be. But, would I trust it day after day, lap after lap on track? I just dont yet. Hopefully Mac keeps developing track use and makes their dealer and track/warranty more accessible. I test drove a 570s, loved the size of the car and steering was fantastic. If the 600LT improves on that and track durability is there, I'll be looking for 600LT

They have OEM harness and harness bar's speccable.
