That is my plan as well. 765LT Spider will be arriving in Feb/March 2022.

Appreciated. I just posted an article on Aston Martin. They are not in good condition.

My 2c:
VW buys the f1 team, BMW gets the automotive side. This is what happens when you over-extend yourself and overreach as a company... you kill the goose and others get the golden eggs.
Audi/Porsche want to get into f1. I would venture to guess that bmw wants the carbon fiber manufacturing know-how for their road cars.. and to rebuild a premium sports car brand above M.. the history of mclaren f1 is there to be leveraged

VW group is out of the sports car purchasing business, they just divested Bugatti and are focusing all their resources on EV.

Mclaren is going to have a very tough time finding a buyer for themselves..

Ummmm told ya ……..no way VW let’s BMW buy ….will go into a bidding war too bad they never went public. Car division makes money, F1 was the drain before Covid/cars were profitable.

On one thought the idea of BMW purchasing McLaren road cars is good for survivability, and possibly expanded dealer network/servicing. On the other hand I worry about the bean counters and 'efficiency experts' getting a hold of the brand and dumbing it down with BMW bin parts.

Beautiful 765LTs friends, I just sold my Aventador SV and picked up a 720S. I love the 675LT, was a great ownership experience. I like the 720S as well.
In the end, I kept my GT3RS the longest at 9 months and regret selling it...should have just kept it!
Enjoy the cars in good health.

It really seems like buyers ignored the limited 620R for some reason - they were available. Reasonably priced and specifically engineered to handle extra loads slick tires create (fundamentally different than the 600LT). I went STO strictly for NA track car but if I wanted the fastest car for my budget 620R is it. Not sure about operational costs on the McLaren.

675LT is here!
Please don’t mind the off-road stance as I left the lift up (it was just unloaded from the trailer).
Only a short drive so far and I am already in love!
