Now Leasing! The McLaren 570S and 650S

-Eying a British supercar, but not quite ready to take the full financial plunge? Your problems are solved, pal. McLaren just announced a new program with Ally Financial, making it possible to lease a British supercar for the very first time.

Yes, the all-new offer will allow you to plop a $185,000 McLaren 570S—the brilliant, 562-hp mid-engined “entry level” model in McLaren’s lineup—in your garage for a monthly payment starting at $2200. McLaren says you’ll also be able to lease the ridiculously quick 650S, which costs $270,000 to purchase outright, although the automaker didn’t specify the lease payment on that model.

The move makes sense for McLaren. As the automaker points out in today’s announcement, the 570S in particular competes in a market segment where leasing is a major factor, competing against vehicles like the Porsche 911 Turbo and Audi R8 V10. The leasing move also could open up a secondary market for McLaren, selling certified-preowned vehicles at the end of their lease terms, should the automaker so choose.

Mortgage a house, rent a fancy apartment, or lease a McLaren? You know which one we’d pick.
