Grainy as they may be, these spy photos give us our first glimpse at the race-prepped McLaren MP4-12C GT3 – a high-performance version of the automaker’s stunning new two-door. The GT3 aims to recapture the racing success of the original McLaren F1, and though details are slim on power enhancements, the revised visual cues of this prototype show that this MP4 is ready to do serious battle out on the track.
Up front, the road-going MP4’s front air intakes have been closed off and a large air duct is now found right in the center of the hood. These changes are matched with revised rear window venting, as well as a giant wing fixed to the car’s rump.
Early reports have stated that McLaren is working with British racing firm CRS and that the car is set to debut sometime in 2012. All we know is, we can’t wait to see this stunning new beast swapping paint with other GT3 racers. See the full set of spy shots in the high-res gallery, below.
Esos alerones le llaman canards. Deben estar probando la posición mas que nada, porque después los reales son un poco mas sutiles. Hacen que el coche se pegue mas a la carretera
Vaya, pues va a ser que la versión de competición, un duro rival para el 911 gt3 rsr y el futuro 458 gt3, ya veremos quien se lleva el gato al agua, va a ser apasionante.
Que yo sepa no se trata de la versión spider del mp4.
Según me han dicho están probando un nuevo motor, bastante más potente que el del mp4-12c y lo de llevar la ventanilla trasera y el cristal de atrás tapado es para que no se vea dicho motor.
