It was probably inevitable, but that makes it no less exciting. McLaren is making a GT3 version of its 720S supercar, and this is a hint of how it will look.
We’ve just got sketches to go from for now, and the car won’t race until 2019. Next year has been set aside for an “intense development programme”, before customer teams can race them the following season.
McLaren will race-prep the 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 found in the road-going car and mate it with a six-speed, sequential shift racing transmission. Obviously, the car will also use the MonoCage II carbon fiber monocoque that makes them so unique. Specialized aero bits and suspension components will further set it apart from a normal 720S.
