McLaren is returning to the WEC with the 720S GT3 Evo

Although earlier rumors said that McLaren is returning to the strongest class of the WEC, this will not happen. The British company announces that it will return to the most famous endurance races from 2024 with two 720S GT3 Evo cars but in LMGT3.

Both cars will be in the colors of the British team United Autosports, in which they have been successfully racing for years in the LMP2 class, which will no longer be present in the World Endurance Championship from next season. Thus, only the Hypercar and LMGT3 classes remain.

With the return to the World Endurance Championship in which they competed with the F1 GTR model in the LMGT1 class from 1995 to 1998, McLaren focused their special attention on the biggest race of today (24 Hours of Le Mans) in which in 1995 they were first in the general standings, and two years later first in the LMGT1 class with only a lap behind the LMP prototype TWR Porsche WSC-95.

Also, a few days ago, Aston Martin announced that it will participate in the FIA WEC (World Endurance Championship) and the IMSA Championship in the most powerful Hypercar class from the 2025 season, with a prototype based on the Aston Martin Valkyrie.

The car will be adapted to the rules of the Hypercar class (LMH – Le Mans Hypercar) and will have slightly less horsepower than the current endurance-focused Aston Martin Valkyrie. The Valkyrie is powered by a Cosworth 6.5L naturally-aspirated V12 engine assisted by an electric motor totaling 1,160 hp (865 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed Ricardo single-clutch automated manual transmission. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 402 km/h (250 mph).

McLaren GT limited edition

The British car manufacturer McLaren presented the McLaren GT limited edition but only for the domestic market. Only 8 examples will be produced and will be offered in four body colors that have graced some of the best McLaren supercars.

McLaren will produce two examples of each in four different body colors: Cerulean Blue which was the original color of the P1 supercar, XP Green adorned the prototype F1 road car, Sargian Quartz was on the SpeedTail XP model and Cyber Yellow a new shade based on the existing Volcano Yellow . All cars will be equipped with the MSO Black Pack package, which includes gloss black side mirror housings, tailpipe trims and a few other details, while the roof and rims are the same color as the body.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black brown leather with brown stitching and the MSO logo on the headrests. The same combination covers the door panels, while the dashboard is covered in black leather. The Union Jack flag is embossed into the armrest and key fob. Customers will be able to choose the interior in black leather with blue stitching.

When it comes to the powertrain, McLaren hasn’t said anything. Presumably unchanged, the limited edition will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine with 620 hp (456 kW) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission.

A collection of 13 super cars worth over $50 million

We don’t often see large collections of expensive cars, because they are hidden from the eyes of the beholder. However, one collection of 13 super sports cars worth over $50 million is parked at the Los Angeles airport.

Driving by the airport, vlogger “effspot” recorded a video showing 13 cars hidden under nylon. It is not known who owns the collection, nor why the cars were left outside. Is the current owner transporting them to a new location or are they on their way to a new owner?! Either way, we hope they will not stay out in the open for long.

The collection consists of some of the best super sports cars such as Porsche 918 Spyder, two McLarens (Sabre and Speedtail), Porsche 911, Pagani Huayra, Lamborghini Centenario, Ford GT, Ferrari LaFerrari, Bugatti Chiron, Aston Martin One-77 and several

models .
