. The car has been designed and engineered by McLaren GT, McLaren’s customer racing division. It is being introduced at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The basic car is identical to the standard 12C with a 40mm lowered suspension, Pirelli racing tires, optimized aerodynamics and better cooling.

The 3.8-liter twin-turbo engine has been tuned to 617hp with a seven-speed twin clutch transmission. The radiator from the 12C GT3 is included. The ProActive Chassis Control has been retuned for the lower ride height and extra grip from the racing tires. It has three modes that control damping, roll stiffness and stability control.

The front bumper, hood, radiator exits and front fender louvers all come from the GT3 version.  The brakes discs are carbon ceramic. It is also fitted with an on-board air jack and center-locking 19in wheels.

The interior is fitted with an FIA-compliant roll cage, fire extinguisher, HANS device and racing seat with six-point harness. It also has air conditioning.

The 12C GT Sprint will be limited to 20 units at £200,000 each.
