Bye bye Turbo S, hello McL 650s Spider...

Well I've been mulling over changing my Porsche turbo s for some time and today fell in love with a nearly new mclaren 650s spider... Pick up Friday.. Hope I haven't fuc*ed up and made a poor and quick decision.. Joke is it's cheaper per month that the Porsche despite being double the value...

friend of mine just picked up a 650 as well.... really is an awesome car. The Turbo S is so fast that the speed won't be exponentially different but the experience is absolutely unique.

Cheers Andy. I've been trying to do that via the app but guess I need to log on via PC. Will try in a bit.

Yes you're right, the TTS is so quick off the mark and torque is higher but the gearing and mid range acceleration is amazing in the 650s . The whole experience is more 'Supercar' like plus it's the spider so best of both worlds but without any compromise in performance. The extensive option list is one of the best spec'd one out there and they are stopping production of the 650s soon as a replacement 722, or whatever it will be called, is due next year. But that will be hyper car money. Theory is my spider should hold value better. Certainly better than my TTS did I'm so heavily financed now that I have no choice but to love it and keep it for a few years.

That looks incredible mate!

Out of curiosity, did you think of a new 991.2 Turbo S, or would it be too similar? Personally I love the 650s and is a lot rarer than the 911.

yeah I did consider the mark 2 TTS Jovan but the wait was too long for a new one, the trade in Porsche offered me on mine was rubbish (£ 10k less than I owed) with no discounts whatsoever on the new one and I think I needed a change as been there/done that with the Porsche. don't get me know its an incredible car and the mark 2 smashes the pants off most/all other supercars from performance perspective, especially from a launch.

the trio I have been juggling are the new 991.2 TTs, nearly new Huracan spider and nearly new 650s Spider. I was drawn to the macca for many reasons but mainly I wanted British and rare factor and it was FULLY loaded with options. the discount I got was enticing too as it's £ 45k off list and has only done 500 miles the residual in 3 years means I will have some equity when I trade it in, which i've never had in a car before. I must try and keep a car for more than 1 or 2 years perhaps
