2011 Aston Martin V12 Zagato

Featuring a new handcrafted aluminium body, the Aston Martin V12 Zagato delivers a beautiful and muscular design not probable using pre-formed panel techniques. Using the influences and skill of nearly 100 years of heritage in the craft, every aluminium panel was shaped using an English wheel and traditionally crafted body bucks. Each front wing alone comprises seven divide pieces of aluminium, combined and then hand finished to give one flowing form. Another iconic Zagato design cue is the double bubble roof shaped in this case from five divide pieces illustrating further the strength of craftsmanship concerned in the construction of the V12 Zagato.

Designed for the focused driver, the V12 Zagato has been honed with pure driving pleasure in mind. The V12 Zagato combines Aston Martin’s most dynamic bonded aluminium platform with the power of the 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS), and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque.

The V12 Vantage which forms the basis of the V12 Zagato has been established on the race track as early as 2009 with a class win in its debut race at the 24 hour race at Nürburgring whilst being close to production standard with only necessary safety modifications, reduced weight and re-tuned suspension but no extra aerodynamic enhancements. In 2011 the car has gone on to form the basis of the new Aston Martin GT3 race car unveiled last month.

Aston Martin V12 Zagato specification includes a bonded aluminium platform customized with a bespoke steel roll cage, front and rear double wishbone suspension with fully adaptable Multimatic DSSV Dampers and a 120ltr survival racing fuel tank.

2011 McLaren MP4-12C GT3

The McLaren MP4-12C GT3 is based on the new MP4-12C high-performance sports car and a team of engineers, designers and test drivers with vast experience in Formula 1 and GT racing has been assembled to undertake the procedure of adapting the carbon chassis-based 12C to racing requirement.

McLaren GT plans to debut the new McLaren MP4-12C GT3 at this season’s Blancpain Endurance Series race at Spain’s Circuito de Navarra, followed by Magny-Cours in France and Silverstone in England. As part of the development programme for the 12C GT3, McLaren GT also expects to enter the Total 24 Hours of Spa endurance race.

Under the McLaren Orange skin, the 12C GT3 shares the same 75kg carbon ‘MonoCell’ chassis as the 12C road car. Since the modern McLaren was formed in 1981, the company has used only carbon fibre for the chassis structure of all its road and race cars: it was a natural choice for the heart of the MP4-12C. Lightweight construction and manufacturing modernism through Resin Transfer Moulding was a priority for the engineers and designers responsible for the 12C’s chassis. The result is a road car that, at 1301kg, is the lightest in the ‘core’ sector of the high-performance sports car market.

Just as with the 12C road car, McLaren is working closely with specialist suppliers to deliver an innovative and lightweight car. The 3.8-litre McLaren V8 twin turbo ‘M838T’ engine supplied in the road car also features in the 12C GT3, but de-tuned to 500 PS (from 600 PS) in order to supply optimum power for this performance-balanced race car.

The new McLaren MP4-12C GT3 will feature a exclusive engine calibration, bespoke racing transmission developed in partnership with Ricardo (who also developed the engine with McLaren) and a suspension arrangement tuned specially for racing.
