I'm thin on details at the moment, but this looks like yet another cool chapter in the 12C story. :cool:

There's one for sale :)

I will have to re-think my imaginary lottery spend up - just short of £300k + VAT

That's a proper GT3 though - not the uncorked and unbound Can-Am Edition.

The text stats it's the 'normal' GT3, but the picture looks like the Can Am minus the large rear wing.


Any info on the main differences between the 2?

Much refined aerodynamics, significantly less weight, more power - really all the things you'd want to be better in a track car. Essentially take the 12C GT3 - toss the rule book out the window and throw all of McLaren's & CRG's knowledge and expertise at it - that's the 12C Can Am Edition. :cool:

I wasn't taking notes at Pebble and would imagine the press release spells things out a bit clearer than I have.
