I was fortunate enough to drive the 2016 McLaren 675LT a couple weeks ago, and my story went live Monday on Forbes. Here's the link: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kbrauer...00-pounds-660-horsepower-0-60-in-2-9-seconds/
While driving the 675LT it occurred to me that the car had some interesting traits:
666 horsepower
Twin-turbocharged engine
2,900 pounds
Full carbon fiber construction
Zero-to-60 in 2.9 seconds
7-speed dual-clutch transmission and paddle shifters
When I thought about the car's characteristics I realized that, based on what I know at this point, the 675LT shares A LOT with the new GT. It also starts at $350,000 and tops out around $400,000 or more when optioned up.
I'm just spit-balling here, but thought it was an interesting observation. Oh, and if the 675LT is a preview of the 2017 Ford GT, then I REALLY want a 2017 Ford GT. :biggrin
