Spy Shots: McLaren prepping race-ready MP4-12C GT3

"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."

I can see the meeting where they thought that thing up right in front of me. Someone wrote "Needs moar downforce!" on their conference whiteboard and then everyone nodded. And then they went to the pub.

Apart from the spoiler I think this looks very promising. I hope they make the spoiler more GT3ish, this looks kinda ridiculous.
