no I think they build window was less than 6 months. A friend just tried to order one and if you want a 600lt- only a spider is available. C.J. can confirm hopefully.

But it it appears about 700 built worldwide and 250-300 in the US from what I’m told. Very limited car.

I heard they shortened the production on the coupes as well with the imminent spider announcement was supposed to end the coupe orders. Wouldn't be shocked if there weren't many at all at the end of the day. All I know is Im still beyond thrilled with mine.

Corsas are actually very fast - a little faster than MPSC2 (not R) and almost as fast as Trofeos. It seems like the only difference from Trofeos is deeper tread and more void. Porky Turbo S did 7:17 on corsas with the same dude driving, which is suprisingly close given less power, more weight and virtually no aero (
). That was before some pavement improvements, so now the gap would have been even smaller. I was expecting 720s to be a bit faster than that.

It was practically the same time (and same time frame) that SportAuto did with the supposedly 6:52 Performante which ran with Trofeos. How much faster did you seriously expect the 720 to be?

I spoke with Mclaren SF yesterday who seemed to indicate that if I want a 600LT Coupe I just need to spec it and say the word. I'm sure demand is crazy.... but obviously not too crazy.

And here is the new 720 Spider at the Scottsdale reveal last night:

Not replacing my coupe but the roof was impressive. Comes down in about 6 seconds.
