SciFrog:It also also about price. Best value in all Porsche portfolio...
No doubt about it.

Did we have the 570GT here already? The first of the new McLaren I rather like, it features some clever details, like the panoramic roof for example.

We're at the point where you can be the fastest or just sound like you're the fastest.
The secret of life is to admire without desiring.
Looks like they did a nice job on that
I am anxious to see how they do a sportier version (GT3 style)...

noone1:This is the one I'd buy. Added space with really no downside.
Higher weight & price...

Grant:Nice! I wonder if they will extend this concept to the 650/675?

Perhaps the replacement might. 650/675 are more or less 12C, pretty much end of the road products for that line.
570 and the variants are also on the same platform but they are part of a new line, fresh products.
Already placed an order for a 570GT.
In the UK it is £10k GBP above the 570S.

noone1:Weight difference is meaningless, but what's the price difference?
In US, it's >10% (~$200k new price). And the weight increase slows 0-60 by 0.2 sec.

Hmmm, $20K is a bit steep of a premium. Glass roof is a good plus IMO, though I'm not sure how much extra usable space you get. The shelf is already there in the coupe, so you really just get an additional wedged shaped area that may or may not be all that useful.
I think it's just a better design, whether the space is super useful or not. Having slightly more space is just a bonus.
One thing I guess that is nice though is that you can now easily access stuff on the shelf behind the seats. Bringing stuff into the cabin, angling it between the seats and putting it on the shelf can be a pain in the ass. Now you can set the stuff back there via this read window.

And what will happened with the stuff on the rear shelf during heavy braking? Imagine a laptop flying forward... Or even newspaper... Also idiotic side -opening. What is the point? Some is a BMW Isseta fan?

Wonder if it's the change in tire compound rather than the weight that explains the acceleration loss?

The same thing that happens on the rear shelf now when you brake? It has straps built in there...
If you put a laptop on the rear shelf behind the seats in an S-Class and brake hard, the laptop will hit you too...
The reason behind the side opening is because you'd have to lean way too far over the rear of the car to put stuff in it. From the side you can access it much easier.
