I've toyed with the idea several times and friends who have gone the route have fallen over themselves to stop me swearing they'd never do it again. How has ownership been for you?
I won't say never again - and it is a box ticked - but I could not hand on heart recommend buying one.
I am slightly disappointed in myself that I don't get as excited over Mclarens as I perhaps should?
I know a few owners, one had a 570S for a few months,,,,,he replaced it with a 981 GT4 and is happier!
Something about the grass being greener etc....
I sold a GT4 to buy the McLaren and am currently looking for either a GT3 or a GT4. Will keep the CSS though!
Interesting. I struggle to get excited about the latest and greatest these days. I was in my local VW dealership yesterday and it had a Taigo and T-Roc on the sales floor. They looked unutterably dull but the price tag wasn't.
Are you thinking 718 or 981 if you go GT4? I passed on my build slot for a 718, thought of switching to Spyder but I object to having to spend the sort of money you need to get the sound fixed on the 718. 718 feels like a cynical marketing exercise - bit like what BMW did with the 1M. It started off as a skunkworks project and then just turned into cynically capitalising on the cache of the first.
I think if I had one to do it all, a 991.2 GT3 Touring would be it for me. Prices are absurd on all of this at the moment though.
