To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Fort Lauderdale event, 29 - 30 March 2019. Estimate: $225,000 - $250,000 Shown by McLaren at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed Last of 25 GT3 cars built; signed by McLaren drivers Recently serviced and tested by Flying Lizard Motorsports Unique opportunity to own an MP4-12C GT3 that has never raced With its MP4-12C on the road, McLaren was ready for endurance sports car racing for the first time since its F1 GT about two decades prior. Suffice it to say, times had changed considerably. The homologated version of the MP4-12C's wind tunnel-honed body kit draped over what was otherwise a remarkable testament to the road-going 12C. A specially tuned ECU was paired to a largely unmodified 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine mated to a racing-specification six-speed sequential gearbox developed in conjunction with Ricardo. The ECU ensured that the engine was rated at 493 hp to comply with FIA GT3 regulations. The MP4-12C GT3 debuted in 2011 as a single-car entry at the Spa Francorchamps British GT Championship round followed by the grueling Spa 24 Hours. An MP4-12C GT3 run by a rebooted Hexis Racing won the third round at the Circuito de Navarra in Spain. In the spring of 2012, McLaren GT completed the last of its 25 MP4-12C GT3s, the car offered here. While designed for endurance racing, this MP4-12C GT3 has led a far more genteel life. McLaren exhibited it at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 12C GT Can-Am specification before it was converted back to GT3 about a month later. The car was later showcased at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed. British sports car firm Lawton Brook took ownership of the car from McLaren in late 2012 but did not campaign it. The car's first private owner acquired it in 2016 and chose to have the passenger seat installed at the factory in Woking, the only GT3 to have had this done. The car features signatures from GT3 drivers Alvaro Parente and Robert Bell on its A-pillars. Flying Lizard Motorsports in Sonoma, California, recently completed a service and tested the MP4-12C GT3 at Sonoma Raceway. Presented in never-raced condition, the MP4-12C GT3 represents a snapshot into the latest incarnation of McLaren's endurance racing history.
