All variants of the 991 Turbo, the GT3RS, and the upcoming GT2 will fit in the price range of the 570s.

Even certain variants of the lower MSRP models (e.g. GT3, certain Carrera GTS models, etc.) quickly get into that price range after selecting a few options.

I'm a big Porsche fan and own one myself, but once you get into that price range, I'd generally pick the McLaren over the Porsche. (Not counting the 918 spyder, which is in a whole other price range).

Porsche is apparently building a 650s/458 italia type competitor. Hopefully, they distinguish it substantially from the 911 models.

MP4-12C resale value just took a huge hit today, (value) problem with McLaren is they just come out with too many cars too quickly

I think I'd still rather have a used 12C for $170K than a new 570S for $180K, but the 570S looks better.

I'm curious to know why. I might have to make a similar decision in the coming months so I'd love to hear more about why you'd choose a used 12C over a new 570S despite it looking better.

The 12C and 650S both sit higher in the McLaren lineup (Super Series vs. Sport Series) over the 570S, and both will outperform it. It's still underpowered compared to the Huracan and right on par with a 458. The jury is still out on performance numbers which we'll find out once it's released, but the 12C is such a good deal right now for a 600+hp supercar for right around $170-180K.

Really sad that so many sports cars coming despite current unfavourable times for sports cars, so many ugly things out there: Mercedes AMG GT, new Audi R8, Ferrari 488 GTB, Ferrari F12, Ferrari California T, Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, now this McLaren 570S.

Porsche looks good, but unexciting, Lamborghini looks great, but has the worst interior possible, BMW i8 is nice but simply not of the right calibre. So far only the new Honda NSX is really good in all ways, at least the first impression.

I hope Toyota/BMW will get it right with the Supra/Z4 and maybe Lexus with the LC, Maserati with the Alfieri, and maybe Nissan with the GT-R and 370Z successors.
most of the cars i agree on in terms of look, but the p1? really?

Outside of the P1 I am not a fan of the McLaren's myself. There is a dealership close by me and I do see a few of these around. Though eye catching they are just not for me.

Yeah the P1 is wicked. I work up the street from the service center so I see McLarens every day but when you see a P1... it looks like an alien landing module. Positively wicked!

Snapped this one last fall (cell phone pic):

IDK there's something wrong with it...probably because I feel it's like a super weak sauce version of the P1. I could just be because I was exposed to the P1 first and I was just numbed from whatever "awesomeness" this car has to offer in the looks department.

I feel the same way after seeing a CLK 63 AMG BS, all other CLKs just seem lame after seeing the BS. This is despite my opinion that the CLK is one of the best looking "pedestrian" cars ever made.

Oh man, that would be fantastic. Hopefully would be like something between a 918 and Cayman, mid-engine, TT flat 6 (GT2 powerplant) with lots of carbon and low weight.

Yup, it is supposed to be mid-engine. Fingers crossed, my friend. Fingers crossed. The car will slot below 918 and above the 911. The car was put on hold, but I'm sure they will resurrect it. http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-new...6314.html#main

It's probably a very nice car, but it doesn't do much for me...
