11:06 McLAREN at Goodwood Festival of Speed | |
As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations, McLaren will showcase a
selection of legendary models from the company’s heritage collection at
this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. Alongside some of the most
famous race- and championship-winning models from the brand’s
illustrious past will be the latest model from McLaren GT which echoes a
name with significant links to McLaren – the 12C GT Can-Am Edition –
which will thrill crowds as it takes part in the run up the Goodwood
Hill. The McLaren name is synonymous with Can-Am racing throughout the
1960s and 1970s, with the McLaren Racing team claiming five back-to-back
world championships between 1969 and 1974, making it the most
successful team in the history of the championship. The original McLaren Can-Am racers were campaigned by great names
from motorsport history including Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme, and are
the inspiration for the 12C GT Can-Am Edition. This latest project from
McLaren GT is the rawest, most track-focused model built by McLaren
Group’s race car manufacturing arm, to-date. Like the cars with which it
shares the famous motorsport badge, the 12C GT Can-Am Edition features a
powerful V8 engine, with the new model fitted with an unrestricted
version of the 3.8-litre twin-turbo powerplant in the 12C GT3. Further
modifications over the race-winning 12C GT3 include an optimised
aerodynamics package, to provide even greater levels of downforce, and a
passenger seat, to allow the thrills of this latest track car to be
shared. The track-only 12C GT Can-Am Edition will be produced in strictly
limited numbers, with no more than 30 being built globally. This
exclusivity is fitting for the most powerful 12C produced to-date – a
worthy tribute to the first McLaren model to wear the Can-Am name since
1972.
