"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!
Every year, the Geneva International Motor Show presents technologically advanced cars and concepts from global manufacturers. This year we had the honor of attending the most important automotive event of the season. We were among the first to see the premieres of new models from well-known brands and feast our eyes on numerous remakes and luxury models.
Luxury cars are one of those economic categories that do not have the word crisis in their dictionary. How can it be, when their clients are only the wealthiest, the famous 1%. And even though you can't afford the steel horses you'll see below, that doesn't take away your right to enjoy them.
McLaren will offer the biggest collectors of vehicles of this renowned English brand a special LeMans version of the 650S model, with which they will mark the 20th anniversary of the victory in the legendary race with the F1 GTR. McLaren's MSO sports division took care of the transformation, resulting in a carbon splitter and diffuser, larger rims and stock carbon brakes. All this will be available to a select few who will be willing to pay more, but how much is unknown.
More than 20 years ago, McLaren wrote a new chapter in sports motoring when it created the McLaren F1 GTR road sports car. Despite its enviable age, this is still not for the old model, but compared to younger rivals (eg Ferrari LaFerrari and FXX K) it is still Rocky Balboa from the sixth part and not the first part. McLaren responded to the last moves of the competition with the P1 GTR model, which will be presented in Geneva, and even earlier it walked around the circuit with its "great-grandfather", the F1 GTR.
The McLaren 675 LT, which we will be able to see live for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015, will stand out for its longer "rear end", which comes at the expense of better aerodynamics and a tribute to the F1 GTR Long model. Okay, maybe this one won't stick out as much as Jennifer Lopez, but this athlete will definitely stick out because of another trump card, because he's not only attractive on the outside, but also on the inside. It carries a V8 "basket", namely a V8 twin turbo engine is hidden under the hood.
McLaren's newest sports car 570S Coupé did not choose easy rivals - Porsche 911 turbo, Audi R8 and Ferrari California - but the first in the series of sports vehicles of this British brand hopes for a rich booty, as the leading men put the burden of doubling sales on it. Our appetite was greatly whetted by the previous McLaren 650S model, but time will tell if the 570S Coupé, powered by a 3.8-liter eight-cylinder engine with a 570-member "cavalry," can go one step further.
The Kawasaki H2R is officially the fastest production motorcycle in the world, as its engine produces an incredible 300 horses. This time, it collides with supercars, which are not serial because the converters have converted them. Great material for an amazing story! What do you think - what or who is faster?! The answer to the eternal question?! Motorcycle or car?
Car brands often use carbon fibers in concept vehicles, but in practice they reduce the weight of athletes, improve driving characteristics and reduce fuel consumption. The boutique company Vitesse | is also engaged in this type of business AuDessus, which transforms the most prestigious cars in the world into carbon fiber. And from head to toe. His "creation" is already worn by Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and McLaren models.
The McLaren 675LT Spider is the fifth model that McLaren presented in 2015. The British rounded off the year with a convertible, which is not new news, but its characteristics are fresh. It is a roofless version of the 675LT model with a hard folding top that can be stowed up to a speed of 30 km/h. It was mounted on 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels surrounded by P Zero Trofeo R tires, and with a top speed of 326 km/h, the McLaren 675LT Spider is considered the fastest McLaren convertible without a roof over its head.
The McLaren 650S GT3 will be presented to the general public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show, where it arrives with an excellent package. Indeed, McLaren's newest racing car already sent fear into the competition's bones on its debut at the Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race at Mount Panorama in Australia, as it not only won, but also set a lap record, which now stands at 2 minutes and 1.286 seconds.
For all those with old bones, McLaren produced the McLaren 570GT model, a supercar that surprises with its comfort and spaciousness. The two-seater with a centrally mounted engine is intended for everyday use, so a surprise awaits us at the back, where the trunk is hidden, in which there is a rather large hole, which we are not used to in this type of car. The McLaren 570GT is a supercar that wants to hang out with regular cars.
