A little more details in case it’s helpful to enthusiasts.
Both cars (675LT coupe and 765LT coupe) are on my list of all time favorites and I would be happy with keeping them forever. As much as I am a coupe only person, decided to give 765LT spider a try. These are not track cars for me so I thought I might enjoy some open top experience or the rear window down might be a great addition.

765LT about the only McLaren that gets my interest short of the original, which I first saw in a London showroom circa 1994 as a grad student in the UK.
Took the car out for a nice winter drive, and it amazes me each time I get behind the wheel man do I love hydraulic steering. I also realized I’ve not cleaned the car in months, so it was kinda fun to see the lines and the design thoughts. Still a keeper close to 3 years never owned a sports car this long.

How would you compare the 675LT to the 620R ( or even to the 600LT ) for mostly hard track use?
Of course I know some of the differences and saw most of the reviews and comments on how good the 675LT is but not many direct comparaisons.
I'd say that the 675LT seems to be closer to a supercar, but one that is also good on track, while the 620R is a more focused but slightly less sophisticated track tool especially with the motorsport suspension.
I'm using a 991.2 GT3 RS weissach on track and I like it s mechanichal grip and that it feels that it can cope with agressive driving, and for that I'd expect the 620R to be closer to what I want, but maybe the 675LT is as good and feel more special?
I don t know the Mclaren in detail, anyone know some technical differences as the steering rack ratio , the geabox ratios , and if one has better or improved cooling than the other ?
Gearchange is equally fast? Clutch ?
Also how is the 675LT suspension on track is it really well suited or is it good but too much of a compromise between road and track as I guess there is no easy way to improve it ( wondering what suspension differences there is with the not road legal 650 sprint )

Thanks
owned a 2019 GT3 RS and a 675LT spider. The 675LT is so much more enjoyable than the GT3RS I would never drive the RS over the 675 and thus got rid of the GT3RS (actually replaced it with a 720S coupe). I think the 675 is one of the all time great cars. I will never sell it.

Same here. Love the 765LT coupe with roof scoop. Great track toy, but will 765LT spider will be nice to enjoy fresh air. I'm getting older and structural rigidity, weight and lesser track performance are ok to be sacrificed. No one is paying me to drive. 😄
I posted on another thread but I ordered the new artura. I’m very excited to try the new car out. I have never owned one. I would’ve like to pick up a 720s but I missed the boat on that one. My sa believes that the car will be on the same level power wise as the 720. I can only hope so. Very excited to see the car in the paint!
