McLaren reveals the 12C GT Sprint
McLaren has revealed a new racing variant of the 12C sports car, named the 12C GT Sprint, which will be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in UK. This car is a 'track only' car.
The 12C GT Sprint is based on the 12 C road car.
The 12C GT Sprint is based on the 12 C road car. "Built around the lightweight carbon fibre MonoCell chassis, and with developments to systems such as ProActive Chassis Control, (PCC), Brake Steer and the McLaren Airbrake, the latest model from McLaren GT has been honed to deliver a more track-focused GT racing experience whilst retaining the balance and precise characteristics much praised in the road car," said McLaren.
Generating 625PS, the optimised 3.8-litre twin turbo engine includes a unique oil system, and a cooling system which features a 12C GT3 developed central front radiator. The GT Sprint retains the 12C's seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox.
Aesthetic changes include a carbon-fibre rear wing
Aesthetic changes include an aggressive front bumper, GT3-inspired bonnet with radiator exit ducts, front-wing louvres, carbon-fibre rear wing and front splitter, and further lightweight components including a polycarbonate windscreen.
"Further details will be announced in due course, but an initial batch of 20 cars will be delivered in 2013, available from McLaren retailers at a price point below GBP £200,000 plus applicable taxes/duties," said McLaren.
