MCLAREN 720S OR 488

Closest dealer to Pittsburgh is in Philly. No way I'd drive out to Philly for a service.

 

I have a McLaren dealership literally 5 minutes from where I live and drive past it on a daily basis......as a current 488 owner it doesn't even interest me at this point in time.....of course things may change over time which would make it very convenient.

 

Newport beach has covered my in-warranty transportation several times. Once it was just a loose tail light connection.

I hear there is a Vegas dealer in the works right now.

My cars have been as reliable as any other supercar.

Not bad actually considering my F40 was in the shop for 3 years! Both my 458s has transmissions replaced under warranty and only 1 way transportation was covered. So I'm not complaining.

 

Here is the USA dealer network as at today for Mac.

Unless I'm wrong the one in Chicago threw McLaren out.

 

21 total?

How many more are planned?

How many Ferrari dealers?

 

Vegas dealer deal is now DEAD. The dealer franchise was sold last month. There is no word if they will continue or not but seems unlikely or certainly greatly delayed.

 

Lake Forest yes but they now have one in downtown Chicago. Mclaren Chicago.

 

OK. I didn't get the update. That's pretty quick!

But I know for a fact the Vegas deal is now dead and pending the new owners to decide what to do It was officially announced by the old dealer about 3 months ago. Then... a giant black hole opened up and swallowed it.

 

54 Ferrari dealerships in the USA

Check back next month

 

It's not dead in Vegas. Confirmed. Also more dealers opening up over next couple of years. This many McLaren dealers for a company 5 years old is pretty good.

Geez. Two for two on the transmission? Talk about bad luck--or is this common?

 

Unfortunately it's very common.

 

Never hear of pdk failure

 

PDK is Porsche. So far my PDKs have been solid.

 

yes I meant that porsches dct is very reliable. very unsettling to hear Ferraris is so opposite

Wow this numbers are 918 figures

 

nice

 

That's remarkable. Basically same as car and drivers test of P1.

 

Same trap speed, only a half second slower. That's insane considering it's probably sweeter to drive and 1/5 the price. Kind of makes the hybrids irrelevant.

 

Another thought, how mind bending will the 750 lt (or whatever they call it) be? 150 mph trap? Insane stuff from Mclaren.

 

I was talking with McLaren techs and they found new ways to improve low speed grip so I suspect 720LT will be 150 trap yes
