Fans of McLaren will definitely love this – a unique McLaren MP4-12C GT3 racecar was recently listed by the English dealer of cars Lawton Brook. This opportunity is quite unique, as very few models were manufactured and this one really is ready to race in GT3.
There’s no doubt that the MP4-12C GT3 is simply one of the best lookers in the category. In terms of aerodynamics, the GT3 boasts with front and rear diffusers, dive planes, adjustable rear wing and front splitter, all highlighting the car’s racing pedigree. The exterior has been painted in the gorgeous McLaren Orange tone and contrasts with a matte black side accent.
The front section houses the same M838T twin-turbo 3.8-liter McLaren V8 engine as the one in the road-ready car, but this one was de-tuned to 500 HP and it revs were limited at 7,500 RPM as for the GT3 racing regulations.
To firmly grip the engine, the manufacturer of the car has used a carbon fiber MonoCell body with aluminum rear and front frames alongside carbon body panels. Transmitting the muscle to the wheels there is a 6-speed sequential gearbox which is easily controllable via steering wheel-mounted paddles. Even the steering wheels is different, as it resembles McLaren’s MP4-24 F1 car with paddle shifts, switches and integrated driver display.
This particular McLaren MP4-12C GT3 is listed as brand new and can be yours for a mind-boggling £299,000. Cheap, indeed!
