what's leading you away from the 570S?


if you read back the past few pages, you'll see nothing but praise for the 675LT for it's mix of performance and value.
the 675LT had a limited run and since you can only buy used the depreciation part is mostly taken care of on it.
warranty / cost of extended warranty seem to be the mains negatives.

600LT solves the warranty part and you could buy used to take care of some of the depreciation.
doesn't seem to get as much praise for how the car feels nor how it makes the driver feel though.

When I purchased my 570S, the cost of a then fairly new 675LT was $200K more, so I couldn't justify the cost difference to myself. But now it is only $100K more.

i'm still curious if there is a real performance metric in mind here?
i'd say that both (and likely all of the current supercars) are well fast enough for any sort of driving i'd be doing.
720S and 991 GT2 RS would be noticeably faster to
any driver at any level. Performante would also destroy a 600 LT as would a 488 GTB.

100k more than your 570 new. Your 570 isn’t worth msrp now. No offense, my 12C I paid 240k for, even with only 5500 miles is only worth 1/2 that.

I traded my 570S for my 675LT spider and there is no comparison between the cars. The 675LT is so much better in every regard. I also view it as superior to the 600lt in every regard as well but not the same delta as the 570. Also I think the 675 are close to the bottom of their depreciation curve if bought right, but the 600s are not. Of course the warranty will be extra in the 675.

However, you should drive both and make your own decision. As much as I love the 675, I think the 600lt spider I posted earlier at $250k is a great buy and one even I would consider if I didn’t already have the 675

also, for anyone doubting the roof scoop cars, they hold their value best of all and in any event a 600lt is just as fast as a gt2rs FYI, at least straight line speed 0-200kph. (The 675lt is faster than both.) The narrow tires on the 600lt are the only thing holding it back relatively on track to a gt2rs.

LMAO, a 600 LT is not even close to a GT2 RS. A 675 will not hit 139 in the 1/4. Show me one drag that proves me wrong.

Do you even research before making comments or do you just like being wrong? Folks need to understand how fast Mclarens actually are. I haven’t even listed a 720, which would trash all these cars in a straight line

here’s the data:

675LT
0-200kph 7.6s
1/4 mile. 142mph

https://fastestlaps.com/models/mclaren-675lt


600LT
0-200kph. 8.1s

https://fastestlaps.com/models/mclaren-600lt

GT2RS

0-200kph. 8.1s

https://fastestlaps.com/models/porsche-911-gt2-rs-991


Also, here is a video of the 600lt and GT2RS neck and neck for about a 1/2 mile

720s hits 141.9, no way a stock 675 will hit 140.
