The Money shot

CAlexio

I spent some time at Miller in Greenwich this weekend and really fell in love with a particular yellow 675LT with matte carbon details which looked absolutely gorgeous. It had a mini-P1 aura to it which set it aside from the thousands of cars there for me. I have driven a 675LT spider on track and found it to be "perfect".. fast, light, usual sublime mclaren steering, for short stints as quick as a P1 and better in quick direction changes. My friends at Miller shared with me that the 675LT series is the most reliable mclaren to date, they never see them in for major issues despite it being tracked more than most.

So.. ehm.. I sort of can't stop thinking about it now.. $259k asking price for a $400k msrp car with 4000 miles on it, all the right options. I keep coming back to this.. I hate losing money on cars as much as anyone and think that I could enjoy this beauty for a few years by paying the $3500 annual warranty for peace of mind...

That matte carbon against yellow paint keeps calling my name....

Gorgeous car. I'm selfishly hoping the 675 depreciates more, but so much car for the money.

I think the 675LT's will be bottoming out soon. These were built much better than the 650s. Fit and finish is clearly better, performance is fantastic and you get hyper car looks. I think the strike price will be in the $225K range and then they will hold. It would be a great track or rally car.

I’ve said it before - 675LT’s are a supercar bargain at today’s prices. So much so that I’m tempted to pick up another one to scratch my Napier green itch.

To be honest, as 12C owner it's surprising how much of a 675 you get by just owning a 12C. After looking at those pics, a 12C is like 75% of the car of a 675 for 1/3 the money. They are all bargains, really.

I also owned a 12C and in my opinion, the LT is a different animal and worth the premium.

It's akin to comparing a Carrera S to a GT2 RS. Both are 991 platforms with familiar interiors, but there are significant differences under the skin and are worlds apart in terms of driving experience.

I've driven both, the 675LT much more than 12c, and I 100% disagree. While the may look similar, these are completely different to drive. I'm not going to look up all the mechanical specs, but get in a 675LT and you'll see. It's really fast, really reactive, has some tangible downforce at speed, and is very fast.

Catorce

12C is easily tuned to reach and exceed 675 or even 720 performance. Respectfully, you have "driven" both, I currently OWN 2 McLarens....

My point was that for 125K you can have more than the bulk of 675 performance, that's all.

A tuned 12c could certainly out perform a 675lt in a straight line. A tuned 12c could not compete with a stock 720s in a straight line..........

The big differences on the 12C and 650 from the 675:

Brakes
Steering
Suspension
Ride height
Cool P1 seats
No sound insulation
Shoots fire
Noise
Build quality (this is before they hired the second or third shift that started with 570's)
Carbon bits
Visual appearance/ design


Sure the speed is all fast, and you can tune it. But you cannot make it the same.

You could buy a 125k car, spend 50k on it, and NOT have the handling or steering or visual dynamic. You'd have a faster 12C

Jethro described it best:

ipse dixit

675LT is my favorite McLaren that I've driven.

Never driven a Senna or P1, however.

The only downside is the interior, which when compared to the 720S feels clunky and outdated.
