I would laugh in the face of any dealer that told me I had to buy a 720 or 600 to get on the list for the 720LT. They just want to move their 720 and 600 inventory and are testing you if you fall for it.
Where are you seeing these discounted 600s? Just had one of my track buddies sell his well optioned 7 month old 600 for close to msrp and it was used.

Looks great. My car has McLaren orange painted *****, Instrument cluster and vents as well. Not many cars have that MSO option

If the 765LT is very limited, one way to deter flippers is to have some prerequisites, such as being a previous buyer. May not work 100% but it does make a difference. There are so many opportunists and capitalists that ruins it for the people that really wants the item. Think about iphones when they were once hot. Hot toys even draw out these people. The internet has made is so simple.

Perhaps Mclaren are preparing for Brexit and concentrating on non basket case jurisdictions where there is demand rather than red and green tape.

Never had to be on a list down under and the dealers bend over to keep you informed and are generally very helpful.

Dont think I'm in the market for a 750lt as I really like my 720s and have the RS for track. I have/am considering trading my long term favourite 981 GTS for a 600lt or PDK GT4 - non of which seem to require being on a waiting list (at least down under)

Ok fine - driving details...

It is easily the greatest driving experience ever for me. No contest. Currently have 2RS, and had a manual 991.2 Gt3 and a heavily track modded gt4.

The car's steering is exceptional. Like makes my 2RS feel super numb and dumb.

Seating position is up front as if you're basically on top of the front wheels.

The car is 300 pounds + lighter than my 2RS and engine in the right place so when on track and pushing HARD - car is very much more composed as G's shifting longitudinal and lateral between brake and accelerator and left and right is a non event when going HARD.

Also because it's sooo light and turbo engine revs to 8500 and because it's perfection the car is a 700hp street legal go cart. And yes, ZERO turbo lag. Anyone comparing a 675 to a 650 or a 12c needs to drive a 675.

My 2RS is numb, dumb, dangerous and requires perfect inputs not to upset the car - and the steering is so crap you can't tell what the car is doing or going (exactly like other modern Porsche GT cars with electric steering). The 675 is a work of art - and so intuitive to drive - I'm no fancy driver so faster in the 675 for now on track.

Yes the A/C sucks, the speakers suck, the whatever else sucks, but the important bits have yet to fail me on track.....


I'm looking for a second one with a roof scoop for non track duty (can't have both roof scoop and titanium OEM roll bar in same car).

Thanks, yes it feels like a go-kart for sure and super light. It builds up speed and it’s like oh-sh🤭😂 when you look at the speedo. Reliability is key, and what’s amazing these cars came out in 2016 head of its time. The cool thing 500 copies exist and down the road drivers will see what it’s all about. Honestly I think they pair really well with the GT cars ......but it’s a different experience. By the way the radio sounds better with Bluetooth using Pandora.

I don't think they pair well at all with the GT cars for the track. The GT cars are heavy, with the engine in the back causing violent weight shifts and numb steering.

But yes they look good together in a picture

Mclaren Newport Beach has a low mile silver 675lt roof scoop coupe asking USD$299k. No fender louvers though.

How many roof scoop cars are in North America? 20 total? You can always get the wheels you like.
