I am looking at two great cars to purchase for this upcoming summer, a Huracan Performante or a 675LT. Both in white and both are critically CPO'd and come with a warranty. Perf has ~6,500 miles and the 675LT as ~9,000 miles.

The 675LT is ~$75k cheaper vs. the perf. I would love to gather opinions on if that delta is made up in the driving experience for those with seat time in both cars. I am leaning towards the 675LT based on the pure price difference and has the slight edge being more rare. The 675LT is regarded as one of the best McLarens built to-date and a numbered car. Not sure if that will ultimately matter in a few years time but something I am thinking about. The Perf sounds better overall (except for the whip cracks the 675lt makes on downshifts) and has the better engine being a NA V-10.

This will be my first exotic purchase and will sit next to my Urus Performante I have coming as well. Welcome any thoughts or suggestions as I make my first big purchase.

Personally, I would go with the performante all day over the 675lt. We’re going to see FI v8s/v6s for a while longer and the mclaren wont fair well over the test of time imo. I’m also very biased but considered mclaren for a number of years and changed my mind quickly after spending some seat time behind them.

just my 2 cents and best of luck with your search!

 

[JTG13]

At a price point of $320k - $330k for a good example perf in this market, is it worth waiting out for a Tecnica second hand? I don't believe they will be doing crazy overs in 6-12 months. Could be wrong on that.

All I am gonna say is do you want a car that has emotion? A car that’s reliable and durable? A car that will last what you throw at her? A car that’s a pleasure! There is only one right answer , huracan all day. Truuuuuuust me bro, I had three 600lts. All had problems, one caught fire after 3 weeks. They are not good cars.

I crossed shopped both as well before I went with my Perf spyder. I had a 650s before I bought the Perf and really wanted a 675 LT. However, when I drove the Perf, it was an absolute no brainer for me. I highly suggest you test drive both if you can. I drove the 675 a few times then drove the Perf right after. The perf has so much more emotion in the driving experience because of the sound. The 675 is an awesome car, but the Perf was just such a better street car in every way for my style of driving.

As your first exotic, I definitely recommend the Perf not only for reasons above, but that it’s so damn reliable. My 650 always had little problems and I know the 675 can be annoying as well. The one I test drove had a check engine light come on during the drive LOL. I have had the perf for over 2 years and 6k miles now and never missed a beat.

FYI if you decide to go 675 -extended warranty is a must!!! Unless you plan on modding it then roll the dice

i would say Performante. I’ve owned a Perf for many years now and i’ve also had a 600LT. The McLaren was an incredible car to drive and was remarkable on the track. Beautiful handling and amazing braking.

But in the end the Perf wins bcs it’s soo darn reliable and the looks and sound and rawness are unmatched. It will hold value better in my opinion as it’s much better then any other Huracan (except STO). No offence to other Huracans, but the Perf is one mean and aggressive cad

 

[surreyspeedster]

In this current market, 675LT anyday. Its under valued and has a higher msrp, as long as you can deal with it not being as reliable as a perf

 

[keeperdean]

Did you ask the same question on the McLaren forum?

 

[NeedMoreCoffee]

Obvious a biased forum but people with ample seat time behind both will likely pick the 675.

I love the perf but a proper McLaren LT is a different level.

 

[Sakura]

If both has the same price, which one would you get based on their look? I would ask my self that question if I were you. It's something that you get to look at everyday.

I have a 675lt

those who know know.
Those who talk of emotion or lack there of have not driven a 675lt.
You ask on the mclaren forum which of the mclaren they would choose, 675 is the one.
I would expect no other answer on this site to only pick one without consideration to the mclaren. Every time someone mentions mclaren on this site, those who have never driven one, will tell everyone how they are lack of this or that, how they are not reliable. It’s rubbish. I have 20,000 miles seat time in my mclaren and it’s amazing.
i won’t take anything away from the Lamborghini as it’s a great car. But when it comes down to handling and speed, I will run circles around it

I’m sorry, reliability issues with McLaren is a real thing. I speak from experience. I also many other owners who’ve had issues with their McLarens. My tranny went on mine after 4k km’s, that’s a shame. My car leaked water, the window sensor wasn’t working properly. The fuel tank was installed incorrectly (hanging on angle). I’m not joking, i have the service records to prove it. There is no comparison between Lambo reliability vs McLaren.

Again, i absolutely loved the driving experience of my McLaren. It was sublime, but in the end the Perf gets my vote for long term ownership.

😂 Those who know, know better.

675 is an awesome car. I don’t think it lacks emotion, just not the same level as the Perf. Emotion is subjective so only way to truly know is to drive them.

I don’t care what you say but Mclaren problems are a thing. Speaking as a former owner and know tons of other owners, it is absolutely not even in same league reliability wise as lambo.

Handling and speed and running circles is one perspective for someone track focused which it sounds like you are. For a street car, the lambo wins in all categories, especially a Performante. Making blanket statements that we don’t know what we are talking about because we have issues with Mclaren is…well…rubbish as well my friend.

OP - you really can’t go wrong with either car in the end. Both are fantastic cars with unique characteristics and out of body driving experiences.

 

[Wheelbebear]

I’d take the performante all day over any car.

 

[APB]

Does LT have the roof scoop?

Both cars are awesome, it's like picking between your parents or children. Performante was also regarded as the best Lamborghini ever made.
At the end of the day, both are as fast in a straight line, but on track Performante is the king by far. (You would have to go 720S or 765LT to beat it.)

Just for reference, a performance comparison.

Reading your post you come across as being more in favor of the 675. What color and spec?

Both options are great choices. The Perf is a great car and may probably prove the more reliable but I haven’t heard any bad stories from the 675 LT owners i know or have come across. I’d go with your gut and buy which car you really prefer.

GL with the decision.

 

[Porka]

Performante every time, for those that say a Mac is better, quicker, handles better, there’s no facts to back this argument imo…

Do you have a preference spec wise? Buying used it can be a challenge to find a build matching your own tastes.

If you see both models themselves as equally desirable for you and are seriously debating between them, then I would choose one closest to what your dream spec could be.

 

[2Tired]

I love McLarens, but in this situation, I'd def pick the Perf. Reliability, performance, drama, etc.

I know a few of the McLaren die hards on here like to claim that they are just as reliable, but all you really need to do is look at the thread make-up of the Huracan section, here on LT, and then compare it with ANY of the model subsections on Mclaren-Talk. MT's model subsections are dominated by threads related to issues with the cars, because they have many. It's a fact, as much as I wish it weren't.

675 is an awesome car. I don’t think it lacks emotion, just not the same level as the Perf. Emotion is subjective so only way to truly know is to drive them.

Even on the track, from what I can tell, the 675lt falls short:
