McLaren’s GT3 is a design success

PRV engineering has always been intrigued and excited by McLaren’s latest developments, new models and design improvements. Little wonder, therefore, that here at PRV we were all intrigued, once again, to see McLaren under the spotlight with the unveiling of the new McLaren 650S GT3 at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The latest generation track race car is a design success story and has been built to contest the GT3 championships across the globe from the 2015 season. And despite having significant shoes to fill, McLaren GT’s top designers have made sure that it’s built to achieve exactly that. A typically slick, purposeful-looking racer, the 650S is a second-generation GT3 car and follows in the slipstream of the 12C GT3, which is not only competing in its third competitive season, but has already secured three championship titles, 51 race victories and 71 further podiums. One of the most interesting facts for us at PRV is the decision to hone the GT3 using CFD technology and the latest in automotive and motorsport simulation. It not only offers enhanced aerodynamics, but improved levels of cooling.
