Also waiting for my 765LT spider!

After now spending considerable time in the driver's seat of the 600LT, Huracan EVO, and 991.2 GT3 I can say the McLaren was by far the best driver's car of the 3. I can only imagine how surreal the 765LT will be.

Took my new 720s to Sebring a few weeks back, right out of the gate in stock tires and setup miles faster around a lap than my RS. Cup cars and Clubsports, didn't see any after the 720 flew by them and hung with them in most of the turns.

Did 3 runs at 4 laps each as it went into limp mode due to fuel pressure sensor, LOL Car left on the back of a flat bed truck LOL. Oh well fixed now due to recall issue and will be back at Sebring next month.

I just hit 20,000 miles on my 570 and did a full fluid change of engine, transmission, clutch, brakes, coolant and air filters.. Couldn’t find anything else the car needed. So she is good to go for the next year. Fall road trip to Big Bend is in order now !

Will be interesting who leads the company going forward and vision. Last guy was hell bent on no SUV’s.

I don’t see how they can afford to spin up a separate product line with development and production costs in their current financial state. They need to tend their core market and pay down some debt. If they don’t make the leap to hybrid cars well enough, they’re toast and an SUV won’t save anything.

now, after they navigate the next 5-10 years and get their core market in order with best of breed hybrid and bev super cars (for whatever that means) then sure. New product away. Whatever.

Agree, my money is on they get bought by VW at some point N time can’t survive on a sports car model alone. Porsche went through that phase with the 911.
