600lbs lighter, extensive aero mods, supposedly being built for one of the FIA GT classes. ~25 street versions. Same HP as the “normal” street car.
Aparently with McLaren’s test driver it did a “slow” 7:38 due to transmission and cooling issues. _shrug_ Will be interesting to see how this develops.

It’s in development, still sorting issues, that’s normal IMO.

For extended track duty with different aero, gearbox, oil coolers, etc? As we’re not engineers on the car I dont think we can accurately answer that one. Now if it was GM and it was overheating I could say for a fact it was due to shoddy _insert typical MPD47 american car comment_

Very easily. Some of the components they use are different and their placement changes as they start messing with overall weight and balance. Plus they are being run hard all the time. Things always overheat. I’d be surprised if a developmental car didn’t have overheating problems during development.
Car looks good, too bad we won’t be able to see it run unless we can get FIA GT this winter on Speed (or torrents).
