"Gentlemen, we announce the entry into the GT3 class", are the words of the director of the McLaren Group - Martin Whitmarsh. Mclaren MP4 - 12C GT3 is a racing car ready for private racing teams, gentlemen, who are always part of motor sports. So gentlemen, fire up your engines!
If it is a serial version MP4-12C a wicked vehicle of the exclusive class of a handful of those cars bordering on legends. Then it is Mclaren MP4 – 12C GT3 a turnkey racing conversion that will be in series class GT3 kept the company of the legendary-mu Ferrari 458 Italia.
Serial MP4 – 12c they subjected it to all known racing slimming measures and in cooperation with the racing department prepared a much lighter vehicle that is perfectly mature for the racing track. It is surprising that they McLaren decided that the car, which otherwise drives it 3.8 liter Twin-Turbo with V8 layouts, they reduce the power, namely from the serial ones 592 horses at racing events 493 horses. Reducing engine power is primarily an optimization for racing conditions and the car's endurance during longer tests. They also decided on a sportier gearbox, which in the racing version only has 6 gears, while in the production car owners can go for 7 gears. All this combined with the reduced weight due to advanced racing materials means a significant difference between the production and racing versions.
McLaren will supply only 20 copies, to those gentlemen who will show a sufficient degree of desire for this type of machine and, of course, a "too fat" wallet. That's all it will be McLaren also offered a comprehensive service of the racing department, which will also take care of the maintenance of this type of car.
