McLaren GT, the race car building arm of the McLaren Group, will produce a new track focused variant of the road-going 12C, named the 12C GT Sprint. The 12C GT Sprint is designed to offer enhanced handling through optimised aerodynamics and track focus.
Generating 616bhp, the optimised 3.8-litre twin turbo engine is linked to a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox retained from the stock 12C. The 12C GT Sprint also features a unique oil and cooling system including a central front radiator from the 12C GT3.
The PCC suspension system has been refined to suit the cars lower ride height and racing slick tyres, providing a firmer and more circuit-orientated setup. The 12C GT Sprint has three unique handling modes, which allow the driver to select their preferred damping, roll stiffness and ESP settings.
The 12C GT Sprint features optimised aerodynamic and cooling upgrades like a more aggressive front bumper, GT3-inspired bonnet with radiator exit ducts and front wing louvres. Lowered by 40mm, the 12C GT Sprint is fitted with track-focused braking system with carbon ceramic brake discs. Tyre changes are made easier through an on-board air jacking system and centre-locking 19-inch OZ wheels, shod with Pirelli racing slick tyres.
In the cabin, the 12C GT Sprint is fitted with an FIA-approved rollcage and integrated fire extinguisher system. A fully adjustable HANS-approved, lightweight composite racing seat fitted with full six-point harness provides the optimum driving position. A lightweight air-conditioning system is also present for added comfort.
A carbon fibre dash houses the race developed digital display and key vehicle controls which interface with a McLaren GT developed steering wheel.
Further enhancements are available including a carbon fibre rear wing and front splitter, and further lightweight components including a polycarbonate windscreen. The 12C GT Sprint is finished in heritage McLaren Orange as standard and will debut at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed. An initial batch of 20 cars will be delivered next year, costing below £200,000 (S$381,118).
