Both the McLaren P1 and the 675LT (the most recent and most extreme car below the P1) have active rear spoilers. So does the LaFerrari:

You and the other kid are apparently ignorant of the fact that the most recently revealed McLaren, the 570S that has no active rear spoiler, was announced in New York
after the 675LT was revealed in Geneva.
The Ferrari 488, also more recent and contemporary than LaFerrari, has no need for an active rear wing, either.
As a former owner of a Mk. IV Supra TT Anniversary Edition, I was never impressed with the design, especially the hyperthyroid headlights and boy racer 3' high spoiler ruining an otherwise safe, vanilla GT coupe design. The N/A Mk. IV looked better balanced, IMO. The resale market seems to agree. I've yet to see any Mk. IV appreciate in value.
Like I said, each to their own, and if someone actually admires the C7 bodywork then it's understandable why they also like the overdone FT-1 prototype.
Times and tastes are changing. The 2016 NSX has no active rear spoiler. Same for the 2016 GT-R. Both of those are said to be FT-1 competitors should it make it into production.
Maybe I'll change my mind after I live with one for a week or so, we're talking about a prototype after all. So, with time and more focus grouping, the production car would likely look much different.
