McLaren Motorsport confirmed the new 720S GT3 EVO, designed to build on the success of the 720S at the head of the international GT3 field into the 2023 season and beyond.
Available as a new-build race car or as an update package to an existing car, the 720S GT3 EVO will be homologated for the 2023 season. The changes reflect learnings from the 720S GT3, which has been a front running GT3 car from its very first race, and feedback from teams, continuing a programme of GT race cars designed to be accessible to customer outfits and drivers of all abilities that includes the new Artura GT4.
The 720S GT3 EVO is distinguished from its predecessor with several key bodywork improvements, including the front bumper and splitter – fitted with quick-release fastenings for easy removal and replacement. These feature improved aerodynamics, designed to increase overall downforce as well as shifting the overall balance forwards and also making the car more consistent in traffic.
A front bonnet gurney also helps with balance and improves cooling performance, while the auxiliary lamp positions have been changed for better night visibility in longer-distance events. At the rear, the wing pylon mechanism can now be easily adjusted, and the rear wing gurney is taller to enhance downforce without upsetting overall balance.
Many more improvements can be found in the 720S GT3 EVO’s suspension, which now features all-new TTX40 Ohlins 4-way adjustable dampers with high frequency pistons and adjustable lengths. Both front and rear upper wishbones have been changed, with the front now adjustable to improve tyre management options, including a new clevis for increased droop. The rear has an improved geometry to suit upright changes.
