Hopefully we can get at least some tests before the end of this year. Have you guys heard anything? 
R&T should have it for their PCOTY this year. Can't wait.Press launch is in Portugal later this month. Embargo until September.
Expect plenty of publicity for this car.
should be a lot of publicity: this will certainly be the car that will define what future supercars are tested against ... totally expecting this to set a lot track records for non hypercarsPress launch is in Portugal later this month. Embargo until September.

looks like McLaren's PR department takes one for the team again ... isn't it totally stupid to postpone tests and keep the embargo up till late autumn and till all cars are sold ... especially if you want to sell something (other products) and need some good news to strengthen your position in all kinds of negations with banks, future investors, customers etc ...I heard recently that US reviews won’t be available until October or so. Sad day.
From my contacts at McLaren, this is largely done because the people who want a coupe tend to be more hard-core track folks and will buy the car regardless of available media. The reviews are mainly to convince more people to be interested in and eventually buy the spider, which are more targeted for the road-going audience.looks like McLaren's PR department takes one for the team again ... isn't it totally stupid to postpone tests and keep the embargo up till late autumn and till all cars are sold ... especially if you want to sell something (other products) and need some good news to strengthen your position in all kinds of negations with banks, future investors, customers etc ...![]()
Very strange strategy in my opinion ... the 765LT coupe is quiet certainly the most hardcore car currently available below 7 digit hypercars (AMG ONE, Valkyrie) and certainly the performance benchmark in that segment. Good reviews would just show how capable McLaren is, while most of the direct competition (Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche) is either milking old platforms (SVJ) or making cars much heavier than previous generations (992, SF90) ... instead they chose to keep silent about it, while the company would be in desperate need for additional buyers and general favorable news for the Automotive division ...From my contacts at McLaren, this is largely done because the people who want a coupe tend to be more hard-core track folks and will buy the car regardless of available media.

Looks like it was too much of a car for the TG reviewer. Everyone else had a bit of funTG review (where is Chris Harris?) is near the opposite of what most others are saying.
Wait for the direct comparisons and lap times as the initial reviews don't mean much.
Pretty useless review from him.Looks like it was too much of a car for the TG reviewer. Everyone else had a bit of fun
Keep reminding your nearby (or not so nearby) dealers. Cancelations often occur.I have to say I love it. I wasn't expecting it but I really do. The 675LT was a Joy. Guess I'll just wait for one of you guys to put one up for sale on the classified because I've already been told I couldn't get an allocation back around June.
