737Drvr Report post Posted July 21, 2015 McLaren has just given the Ferrari 488 the middle finger! And it looks a hell of lot better IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_chaos Report post Posted July 21, 2015 Great stats and the car looks great in green. Would be interesting to see where they take this model next. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kisco Report post Posted July 21, 2015 The 142 mph is a little hard to believe. I know Fikse went 138 with a tire and a tune, which would put his car around the same power as the 675. Anyways, regardless if it goes 142 or not, this car has me really excited!! I look forward to seeing what it can do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FikseSTS Report post Posted July 21, 2015 675LT is 200 pounds lighter than my 12C, upgraded turbos and faster shifting transmission programming.... we'll see...

derphurf Report post Posted July 21, 2015 Not only that, the motor has much improved engine response, it will rev up faster. New crankshaft, revised heads, much more fuel flow, and 6 kg shaved from the motor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiBull Report post Posted July 21, 2015 So with a tune and/or the right conditions it will be neck and neck with a P1...but never run out of juice. It will be interesting to see actual comparable lap times from both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

737Drvr Report post Posted July 21, 2015 Your loss. This is one hellavu car. Nothing in the segment is even close I wouldn't call it a loss. That is why they make different cars for different tastes.

ts640 Report post Posted July 22, 2015 Stupid question....haven't really paid much attention to the 650 coupe vs vert....are their numbers the same? Just wondering if the 675 vert will do the same numbers as the coupe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get to these cars who really gives a shit about 1 second here and there. It's all about emotion and the visceral experience you achieve. The Speciale has that in abundance. You're completely dialed in with the car and that NA V8 is fcuking electric! I pick it up on Saturday as i've had a Capristo put on it along with 200 cell cats. fcuk the Macca - not a patch!

LPDADDY Report post Posted July 22, 2015 It looks great in green, the stats are impressive but overall, I find the McLaren's besides the P1, are getting to be similar TO Aston's. They all look very similar, too many models in a short time span and the cars do not have a lot of road presence, they look like toy cars. All modern exotics and super exotics are super fast for the mere mortals, the absolute speed is irrelevant now, imo, it comes down to pure emotional appeal and the Mac's lack that wow factor to me. My 722, which is an old car now and the Porsche CGT, same age, have a road presence that no modern Mac or ferrai can match, short of their supercars.
