Yeah, awesome pair!

I almost ended up with the same pair myself, but got such a great deal on a 600LT that I went that route. I'm chomping at the bit to get it delivered now.

^^ It will make you smile everyday you drive it. V8 that revs to 8500 it’s a treat for sure. Can’t wait to see it.

Just dont know what would be next - but strongly thinking about a manual GT3 or the 718 Spyder (manual). My TT (wife) isn't going anywhere - it just may get some more "plastic surgery".

What are planning to trade it in and replace with? A GTx of some sort based on your note above? What was the issue? Space or visibility or usability?

Love to see pictures of your Performante.

How many miles on her?

What is the market today for it?

Performante is another car that has always interested me. Especially a UGR stage 3...

IF McLaren goes bust and dealers close shop, how would a 675LT be maintained and where? I'm not saying this is likely -- just figuring out how it would be maintained if kept for the next 10-15 years. Doesn't look like a car that any shade-tree mechanic could handle.

I agree. It's not like they would just disappear. The name alone is worth too much, so someone would buy them up.

That being said, I'm sure there are shops around that would be willing to work on it, it's just a matter of how much money you want to spend.

The local mechanics would just open a shop. My buddy was a top tech at BMW, and went INDI and now drives Ferrari’s and Lambo’s. More business than he can consume.

Lease offer from Atlanta McLaren dealer:



Although here’s a cheap 600LT at CJ’s Audi dealer in Fresno: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...0761/overview/

I think you could operate the above car for less than $77,564 + tax, tag, title over 3 years and 7500 miles!
