A new racing version of the McLaren MP4-12C supercar has been unveiled today, the brand new McLaren MP4-12C GT3, which has successfully completed its debut tests at the famous Silverstone circuit in the UK.

The initial shakedown tests undertaken with the MP4-12C GT3, whereby new components are calibrated and aerodynamic body structures are tested for the first time, will be followed by comprehensive tests scheduled throughout March and April at a number of FIA certified circuits across Europe.

News on the development program, full driver line-up and planned competition for the 12C GT3 will be confirmed after these tests are completed.

As for the race car itself, the same 3.8-liter twin turbo V-8 as in the production car is used but tuned to race specification. A bespoke paddle-shift system operating an all-new Ricardo-designed gearbox developed specifically for racing has also been fitted. This system eschews the seven-speed SSG dual-clutch Graziano transmission supplied in the standard model.

The MP4-12C GT3 is also around 100 mm wider than the standard production car and features a new suspension system, which was tested in the same McLaren simulator as the company’s F1 cars.

New electrical architecture is also used, as well as a custom Bosch ABS system and Akebono brakes. A new aerodynamics package has been developed in compliance with GT3 regulations, incorporating a new front splitter, door blade, rear wing, diffuser and louvres in the front fenders.

One important note; the MP4-12C GT3 does not feature the road-going MP4-12C’s ‘ProActive’ chassis control system, which negates the need of an anti-roll bar. Instead, the MP4-12C GT3 will use a configuration comprising race-specific roll bars and dampers.

Along with the reveal of the new race car, the establishment of McLaren GT was also announced. McLaren GT is a new company that brings together the expertise of the McLaren Group and CRS Racing and will be responsible for building and further refining the MP4-12C GT3 race cars. The company’s chief test driver was also announced today, 26-year-old Portuguese racing driver Álvaro Parente.

And it looks like... <drumroll>

A Giant Truck! :laugh:

That looks somehow worse. I don't think the Zagato character is working on that particular scale and proportion.

In fact I'm not really enamored with much that Zagato has done in the past few years that isn't the Perana Z-One.

Which is somehow already looking a bit dated.

Quote:

McQueen and his Lotus 11, circa 1959. This is the car that he traded his ’58 Porsche Speedster for, and as such it was McQueen’s first real racing machine. He enjoyed several good battles in it, winning a few races along the way. About it, McQueen said “In that Lotus I really started to become competitive. I was smoother, more relaxed; the rough edges had been knocked off my driving. I was beginning to find out what real sports car racing was all about.”
