The Gemballa racing team was only
established in August 2011, when they announced they were buying to of
these racing McLarens. And only in the 2012 motorsport season did they
start racing on a competitive level.
“We chose the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 because we think this car has the
potential to be one of the season’s leaders,” ” stated Steffen Korbach,
team owner and Gemballa inverstor. “We have also put together a team of
drivers and mechanics who are proven winners. Racing is in our blood! We
want to win!”
The GT3 version of the car is powered by the 3.8-litre, twin-turbo V8
engine, but detuned a bit from the road car. It features a bespoke
racing gearbox, carbon safety cell, race front splitter, large fixed
rear wing, optimized air vents at the front and a racing diffuser at the
rear. All that and a snazzy paintjob, and the car you see in a pile of
broken parts is worth no less than £310,000.
Two 2012 McLaren MP4-12C GT3 by Gemballa Racing are available on jameslist.com.
For the 2012 racing season McLaren produced only 25 units of the MP4-12C GT3 and two of these cars are for sale with a twin-turbo V8 3.8-liter engine producing 608 HP (447 kW), enough for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in about 3.3 seconds.
With a curb weight of 1,235 kg (2,722 lbs), both cars are in excellent condition and are immediately operational. One of them has chassis #14 on ADAC GT Masters specs 2012 while the other has chassis #22 on VLN specs 2012. Both vehicles received their last technical update this month.
In the ad it's mentioned the vehicles can be modified to look like the Can-Am Edition or to be road-legal.
