Not short of McLaren supercars with rear wings that can block out the sun, are we? This year alone we"ve had the Senna track-focused hypercar, and the 600LT track-focused supercar. And now, introducing the McLaren 720S GT3. A track-only racing supercar. The old 650S GT3 has been soldiering on in competition while McLaren readied its current Super Series contender for motorsport duty, but today we"ve got out first look at the racing version, and a price for its services. It"s yours for 440,000 and it"ll be going trophy-hunting from 2019. Now, that might seem like a bit of a rip-off. Why? Because much of the 22nd Century tech that makes the 720S such a vividly fast road-missile has to be deleted to comply with GT3 racing rules. Take the active rear airbrake party trick. That"s been bolted down, and now supports a fixed wing, because deployable spoilers are forbidden.
