Holy Smokes... the McLaren 720S GT3...

[Durge Driven]

Nice

without my glasses they all look the same

 

[snyperal]

I want to love it but I just can't.

 

[wombat999]

Be good if they put the same development effort into the EffWun cars.

 

[RasmusP]

Strangely reminds me a lot of the Mclaren Senna. Not the details but the first impression it really looks similar!
I like it. Bit less roundness compared to the 650s.

I'll just go ahead and say something really stupid - This car looks like it deserves to go much, much faster than a mere GT3 car.

Not stupid - perfectly logical if one likes fast cars. Race cars now have to be nerfed compared to their production counterparts. Sad.

 

[hablom1977]

I don't know.. looks a bit ugly, like some kinda seacreature swimming at the bottom with mouth open and trying to catch jellyfish or something

 

[cr4wl3r0]

What if SMs will add this car into Pcars 2 ?
Please......

I also smell DLC in ACC.

It will be in ACC for free. As I already mentioned

Didn't link the source, but there it is. See Marcos comment. Google translate:

"The launch of the ACC will include the 2018 season: the update (free) to the 2019 season, including all new cars, will come next in the course of the year, when all car data, driver performance, BOP and new models (such as the Mclaren 720S GT3) and circuits (the Redbull Ring in 2019 will replace Zolder, there will obviously be both in the game) will be completed to ensure the highest fidelity of the Championship in course."

This is what I imagine their entry for the new ACO regs to look like

 

[Midnight⠀]

Looks nice to me, I like it.

Obviously computer game pictures there - but this appears to be one magnificent machine from McLaren.

That front end with the new style McLaren headlights and the big fake whale fish mouth is only a look of a child a mother could love. The rear end, the profile and the glass house look great - properly purposeful.

I hope McLaren change their minds in future models about those awful new headlights.
The 650s had tolerable headlights, the MC12C had pretty eyes but this new generation of McLaren are just much, much uglier to look at from the front than they have to be.

 

[Richard Dastardly]

It'll look better when it's not bright orange, even the "mouth". The rear quarters are a bit chunky in orange, I suspect a different livery will help there too.

The stock 720s is the first Mclaren I've found with tolerable looks since the F1, so headlights are all a matter of taste. The designer's said it deliberately took inspiration from sharks.

Closer and closer to look like Group C cars, I like it

You can trace modern LMP cars directly back to the 1992 Group C 905 Evo2 ( and really just the Evo and the XJR-14 to some extent )

but I doubt we'll ever see full ground-effect cars again. That road supercars look that way is just because the best shape for a car is an egg jammed in a wedge really - will be interesting if the new LMP rules really do produce the end result of a road car silhouette. They're going to look strangely blobby I think, but I'm doubting there'll be something that looks like a 720s. Not that bad a thing, this is why we have GT classes.

Nice

to me i see a lot of design cue from Aston Martin... may be why they are both from British manufacture

 

[whistleblower39]

12c—prettiest
720—ugliest

 

[Tberg]

650S GT3 was Mclarens most badass of the lot, this new one seems...dunno...less badass?

 

[Will Mazeo]

I like the rear of the 720S and the front of the 650. If they mixed both would be nice

 

[Richard Dastardly]

I always thought the front end of the 650 was trying way too hard - it's certainly not going to be an ageless classic, I get the same sort of feeling from a lot of Ferrari's less mainstream recent design too. The back end - the actual rear end, not the back half of the car - of pretty much any Mclaren is the same way.

A basking shark is not really the sort of style theme I'd be looking at for a racecar, mind you
