Sure, they currently only offer 3 cars new (I guess 2 since the Senna is sold out). But some of the recent models (and I wager if you see any in the wild they will all *look* new):

MP4-12C/12C, Spider
540C/560C Coupe
570S
600LT
650S Coupe, Spider
675LT Coupe, Spider, HS
720S
P1 and GTR variant
Senna

What is that, 15 distinct models? If you are not a current/prospective owner of one (or a McLaren fan boy) , I would bet many car enthusiasts would be hard pressed to name which model is which if they saw one in passing. They would know it's a McLaren though. I think that contributes to the sentiment that all McLarens look the same (one that I've heard before).

You could say that of any car though if you have no interest in them. Is that a C Class? E Class? S Class? Camry? Avalon? 5 Series? 3 Series?

Do you say is that a 911 or a Cayman ever?

Counting model variations is facetious because if you aren't interested in McLarens, why would you care?

Here is the 570S and its hardcore version the 600LT is above



Here is the 720S



Here is the Senna

Yep. And they are ALL, sex on wheels!

I'd drive it.

All Porsches depreciate just as hard or worse except the GT3 and RS's. I have had them all. TTS is around $200K or so, you will lose $50K day 1.

Ferrari has changed, you can now walk in and order any car except an 812 or Pista. Give it a year and will get the 812 as well. Dealers are now required to carry demos.... Times have changed.

Yeah and I would take any of those 3 over any other car out there , wait the only other car over these would be McLaren F1

This thing makes most modern sports cars and super cars look like real porkers.

It bet it’s a fun drive for sure. The sound doesn’t really seem to be there. That exhaust has to look cool in the rear view when it backfires.

[shiv.nandak]

I wonder how long till that top mounted exhaust melts the wing

[AW335TT]

love the flames.

[Fast_Future]

Really cool to see the positive comments here! I work at McLaren Corporate (also a die hard M car enthusiast).

[Flacht3]

Would 100% take this over a GT3 RS. Difference is I'd be willing to buy the RS new (willing, probably not able), vs. the McLaren I'd wait a year or two and reap the benefits of some other poor soul's depreciation.

[Daftasabrush]

Those exhausts are just begging for people to use them as trashcans for drinks cans. How do you get crap out of them?

Unlikely the the LT especially one this bad ass will depreciate too much for a while.

So if you park that thing in the rain for an hour or two then your exhaust fills up with water?

I've always wondered this with my motorcycle that has an open upward pointing exhaust. I have not had any problems with the rain. However, i am not sure how it is designed to allow the water to drain. I assume it can't have any drain holes due to sound/emissions considerations. I did some research and apparently some exhausts have a small drain hole and other exhaust just blast the water out when you start the engine.

McLaren knows that you're not supposed to expose your supercar to the rain. If you do you can't resell it as having never seen rain!

Wish it came in a manual

There's one McLaren with a manual. It will just cost you eight figures.

[JDC PDX]

I'd love one, but apparently, they are already all spoken for.

[gazosnic]

The line up is pretty simple. They have three levels:

Sport Series: 570/600lt

Super Series: 12c/650s/720s

Ultimate series:P1, Senna

I have a 12c and adore the car.
