There is a discount for sure, because of the rewards provided for completing the event. Again, remember that for this LTS, and for all Special Events, you are buying the upgrades, you get the car for free. So, the rewards you get for completion effectively discount the price you pay for the upgrades.

However, in this case, even including the 100% bonus for completing McLaren Generations, it'ss till not anywhere near 66% off the full upgrade cost.

I think Driving Coach might be assuming the full price of the car AND the full price of the upgrades to determine that discount. There's some validity to that line of thinking, but I think most people buying these higher GC cars (outside of an LTS or Special Event) are relying on sales or Showcase Discounts at the very least.

In any case it just underscores the fact that obtaining cars during an LTS or Special Event is the most cost-effective way to get the car. I've stated it many times in comments below and on other pages, if you don't own this car, you should definitely work to win it. The math changes completely though if you already own the car, there's almost no logical reason to spend the GC on this car in that case.
