His full name is McLaren 12C Can-Am Edition Concept and that indicates that this is not a street-legal racer or track goes. For now, the fierce-looking 12C show only one song, but the British sports car builder has him premeditated developed. To take part in the American racing series Grand-Am Road Racing, abbreviated Cam-Am, to be exact. Although far from our house, but let come. For what a savage machine!
Down force it will not surprise those who know that the 12C Can-Am Edition is based on the previously unveiled and already active MP4-12 GT3. For the McLaren Can-Am went one step further. First appearance, there was apparently enough to scrape for more down force on the axes to generate. Whether it made all within the official rules is we do not know, but the result is in any case, 30% down force makes the Can-Am Edition compared to the GT3.

At the motor - the ECU - is also tinkering with the result of a total of 639 hp, 139 hp more than the GT3. "Huh, 139 hp?" Yes, the GT3 version, namely hundred horses power less than the first copies of the street version. Namely, that complies with applicable or FIA rules.
Lewis Hamilton Also noteworthy is the car weighing just 1,200 kg. By stripping the interior was much ballast lost. What is left back or in any other form are of course the sport tubs (with 6-point belts) and a minimalist and purely functional center console. Cool racing wheel that is not much different from the F1 car of Lewis Hamilton.
McLaren GT The 12C Can-Am Edition is the first fruit of McLaren GT, the newly established division race of the McLaren Group and will for the first time in public view during Pebble Beach Concours dElegance in California on 19 August.
