A couple of weeks ago we brought to you some gorgeous renderings of a GTR variant of the new Mclaren MP4-12C roadcar. There may not be any plans to take car racing for now as no announcement has baeen made of a race variant of the model or any form of motorsports program but it didn’t stop artist Jon Sibal from imagining what it could be like if only… and now Mr.Sibal has came up with some additional renderings of the car in longtail form, just like the original.
The longtail variant pays homage to the second-generation of Mclaren F1 GTR race cars that competed in the 1997 FIA GT Championship. The extended front and rear bodywork is meant to improve aerodynamics and in the case of the original GTR, to help it compete against the likes of the Porsche GT1, Nissan R390 GT1 and the iconic Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR. It’s a very impressive homage to the original but now all we can do is sit and hope that someone at Mclaren hears us. Race it Ron Dennis !!
