McLaren 650S GT3 revealed at Goodwood The arrival of the McLaren 650S meant a GT3 version wouldn’t be far behind as McLaren transferred all that’s better about the 650S to the track version, and now the McLaren 650S GT3 has made its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Sitting on McLaren’s stand at Goodwood alongside the P1, the 650S GT3 is wider than the 12C version, has a carbon fibre body kit, big air intakes and a huge rear wing and diffuser made from carbon fibre too. McLaren has also upgraded the suspension on the 650S and the cabin offers more head and leg room as well as promising a more comfortable drive.
