McLaren 720S GT3 EVO
Born on the track, the McLaren 720S GT3 was the first GT model designed and built in-house by McLaren Customer Racing and is based on the highly acclaimed 720S from the Super Series. The 720S GT3 continues to bring passion, thrill, and power to the track as the 720S GT3 EVO. Customers that race have the honor of experiencing improved aerodynamic performance with more overall downforce.
The 720S GT3 EVO was designed to shift the overall balance forwards and improve the car’s performance, making it more consistent in traffic. Prepare for an extended range of suspension adjustability and enhanced serviceability, alongside increased robustness in wheel-to-wheel contact for on-track performance.
McLaren 720S GT3X
You can also exceed the impossible with the McLaren 720S GT3X. A comprehensive testing regimen has rigorously evaluated the capabilities of the 720S GT3X across challenging racetracks. The vehicle incorporates the GT3 aero package complemented by an optimized cooling system and an enhanced powertrain. Its performance not only meets but also surpasses all the project’s predefined expectations.
In short, the 720S GT3 stands as the pinnacle of design and development for track performance, building upon the foundation of the 720S platform.
Unleashing the full potential, a race-prepared iteration of the M840T 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine incorporates upgrades and enhancements that deliver a substantial power surge compared to the 720S GT3.

Artura GT4
Based on the revolutionary new McLaren Artura road car, the new GT4 represents a significant step up from the outgoing 570S GT4, itself a hugely successful competition car that has achieved many race and championship wins with McLaren customer racing teams. With an unwavering dedication to delivering unparalleled driver engagement for both amateurs and professionals, the New Artura GT4 establishes groundbreaking benchmarks within the GT4 class.
Drawing inspiration from motorsport, this chassis design and construction serve as the perfect foundation for a race car. The rigid structure not only offers a broader setup range for the driver but also ensures a resilient and exceptionally secure driving environment.
The Artura GT4 also comes with a compact and power-dense V6 powertrain which is both lighter and more fuel efficient than the previous GT4 V8, with improved throttle response.
