McLaren 720S GT3 EVO...McLaren Motorsport presented this week the new McLaren 720S GT3 EVO. It is a model designed to build on the success enjoyed by the 720S in the international GTE championship. This model will run this year and the next.

Available as a new-build race car or as an upgrade package for an existing unit, the 720S GT3 EVO will be homologated for the 2023 season. The changes reflect lessons learned from the 720S GT3, which has struggled on the track since its first race.

The 720S GT3 EVO is distinguished from its predecessor by a number of bodywork improvements, including the front bumper and splitter, which are equipped with quick-release latches for easy removal and replacement. These feature improved aerodynamics designed to increase overall downforce, as well as alter the overall forward balance and also make the car more consistent in traffic.

Certain improvements to the front hood help improve balance and cooling performance. New auxiliary lights have been replaced to improve nighttime visibility in long distance events. At the rear, the airfoil mechanism can now be easily adjusted.

Further improvements can be found in the suspension, which now features all-new TTX40 Ohlins four-way adjustable dampers with high-frequency pistons and adjustable strokes. The front and rear upper crossarms have been changed, and the front is now adjustable for improved tire management options, including a new fork for more rake. The rear has improved geometry to adapt to vertical changes.

The braking system features new columns, with the front end featuring bolt-on brake calipers to provide quick shifts of the entire system as a unit, and a built-in tie rod fork, which makes it more robust in wheel contact situations. the wheel. This also applies to the rear column, which also has an improved geometry for tire management, which increases the set-up options.

The McLaren 720S GT3 EVO can now be ordered as a ready-made unit, but owners and teams can purchase a complete upgrade kit.
