McLaren 12C Can-Am Edition limited production

 During the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance shown McLaren 12C Can-Am Edition goes into production. Up to 30 copies will be built just to watch or for track use. Street Legal is definitely not racer costing half a million euros.

Prior to the presentation in August had already indicated that the McLaren 12C can-Am Edition with premeditation was developed to him later in production. That moment of green light than it is now. Construction will start in March 2013 and it is expected that the first customers (private) racer around the summer collection.

Interior

Down force
The Can-Am Edition is based on the earlier revealed and already active MP4-12 GT3. The McLaren Can-Am went one step further. First appearance, there was apparently enough to scrape more down force on the axes to generate. It is made entirely within the official rules and the results are impressive, as 30% down force gives the Can-Am Edition compared to the GT3. On the engine - 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 has namely one hundred horsepower less than the first copies of the street version. Namely that meets or to the applicable FIA rules.

Lewis Hamilton
also worth mentioning is the vehicle weight of only 1,200 kg. By stripping the interior was much ballast lost. What is left, or in any other form is returned to the sport of course tubs (with 6-point belts) and a minimalist and purely functional center console. Cool racing wheel that is not much different from that of the F1 car Lewis Hamilton.

Can-Am
McLaren asks £ 375,000 for the M4-12C Can-Am who is keen to participate in the American racing series Grand-Am Road Racing, abbreviated Cam-Am. But participation in other (specific) classes is also possible. On track days the car without also doing well, so even if the car is not street legal, there is still plenty of fun to experience.
