and just in case!

 

I'd take the baby Mac over a 991 Turbo any day of the week! And considering their resale values are total crap, you'd be able to pick one up for Civic money before the end of the decade

 

Thanks for the video link. Very sharp looking design, it looks more exotic and inspired than the 12C by quite a bit. This would be a great alternative to a Turbo S.

 

Buy a used one with ~2k miles at a big discount. Carbon fiber tub, RWD, scissor doors, lighter weight, plus more exotic looking than a 991TT equals a really good value.

 

I like it too. Would want to track it! Would not want to fund CH's tyre budget though!!

 

Seems to be a great car. Styling is 'ok'. Might look better without so many contrasting panels. Not crazy about a $200K car with an open diff.

What do you attribute the poor resale to? Poor reliability? Lack of dealers? Expense of maintenance and/or repairs?

 

I wonder how much if any the open diff contributed to that wear?

 

More supply than demand (!!) and 650S arriving within 2-3 years of the 12C are my guesses, as an observer.

 

I'm obviously a McLaren superfan but think the best colors for this are dark silver, blue, purple. I would not do white or orange on this body type.

Generally white and orange have the highest pct of orders across the platform.

Yellow just doesn't do it for me on the 570. I'd personally do a custom blue or purple or volcano red.

 

purple so you can pretend its a gt3 rs (without the 200k markup) . . really likin g the look of this thing wonder if it basically the asame engine as a 650s can't we just tune it up to that hp ?

 

It's handling is aimed at a more drifty type dynamic- supposed to be super focused on the fun angle as opposed to outright power or precision like 650s. I think it does 3.2 0-60?

 

then you must really hate a 1 million dollar car with an open diff, which Mclaren also makes.

it's only an open diff in name...it doesn't really act like one. just like how they've replaced the anti-roll bars (not on the 570s) but the car still doesn't roll much. the function is still there; just the approach is different. Although many people say an open diff does feel more natural, as well as actual anti-roll bars!
