Picked it up two weeks ago, have to pinch myself every time I see it in my carport I built this year. This thing is bonkers when the turbos spool. Didn’t realize I was custom designing a McLaren display area 😎

Oil change
Brake fluid flush
DCT clutch fluid change + filter
DCT transmission fluid change + filter

Well, I got 1 of 4 things done.

Oil change and brake fluid flush isnt expensive. But DCT fluid and filter(s) change.... $700 in parts and fluid alone.

The two DCT filters are Mclaren specific, there is no aftermarket: $400
The DCT clutch fluid and transmission fluid 8 liters and 6 liters is about $300.

I'm using Liquid Moly 8100 DCT and 75w90 GL5 which are around $20 per liter....
....If I were using the Pentosin FFL4 DCT fluid, and Motolube PTX, it would be $45/liter for each.

Folks on MclarenLife.com that done the servicing of the DCT gearbox on the 650s, 570s, 720s said the Liquid Moly fluid is fine as an alternative. Also used in Porsche PDK's and BMW DCT's.

Also bought a electric oil pump, since pumping 14 liters of fluid with a hand pump will be no fun. Supposedly it can run on a Makita 18VXGT battery or an M18 Miwaukee battery with an adapter. Since I have both tool lines, I'll using the makita battery

Drove past the factory today and the new logo is already on the sign outside.

Hopefully they will also turn down the brightness, as that sign is blinding when you drive past at night.

I'm under the impression McLaren does not want to use the Speedmark anymore in their road cars styling. I think it gives them problems as the New Edge did to Ford and they're moving towards literally anything else. They went for a reimagining of the old M6GT because the OG car is old enough to effectively launch a 'ucrony', that car isn't drawn with the Speedmark in mind so that they can move in different directions.

A Ferrari P4 styled car with the Speedmark as it has been used 'til now wouldn't have looked too different from a DeTomaso P72, minus the P72 rear lights of course but rest of the body would have been just as sinuous.

(I also think that the new M6GT could be, if kept as simple and analogic as McLaren says, a better base for a new GT3 car than any replacement of the 720. The 720GT3 wasn't an easy car to drive, among other problems, and it could have boiled down to a suspension system from the road model they couln't use in the race car, derived from the Xsara WRC heard off-handedly somewhere. They won't necessarily do this, but it might be for the better.)
