McLaren 720S GT3 Evo (GT3)

The McLaren 720S GT3 Evo is an updated, competition-ready GT3 racer based on McLaren’s 720S platform, refined for modern sprint and endurance racing. Race Sim Studio’s version captures the Evo-spec aero, revised suspension package, and the mid-engine carbon-fiber McLaren character that made the car a benchmark in customer racing.

Key Specs (BoP-dependent, typical sim values)

  • Powertrain: 4.0L twin-turbocharged M840T V8 (mid-mounted, longitudinal) with GT3 balance-of-performance calibration

  • Total Output: ~550 hp (410 kW) BoP-dependent

  • Redline: ~7,500–7,800 rpm

  • Transmission: 6-speed sequential with paddle shift

  • Weight: ~1,250 kg minimum (BoP-dependent)

  • Dimensions: ~4,545 mm long × 2,040 mm wide × 1,215 mm tall | Wheelbase 2,670 mm

  • Tires: GT3 slicks on center-lock racing wheels

  • Brakes: Carbon racing discs with endurance-spec ABS and traction control

  • Layout: Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive

In the Simulator Feel

The 720S GT3 Evo is a sharp, well-balanced GT3 car that rewards smooth inputs and confident commitment. It has a very usable front end for a mid-engine car, strong aero stability at speed, and the kind of chassis consistency that makes it especially effective over longer stints. Compared with more stubborn or rear-biased GT3s, the McLaren feels precise on turn-in and forgiving at the limit, though it still demands respect when trail braking or putting power down over curbs.

Engine & Sound: The twin-turbo V8 delivers a deep, muscular note with plenty of turbo urgency and a hard-edged GT3 snarl on the top end. Power arrives in a broad, accessible band, which makes the car easy to drive cleanly out of slower corners. The Evo package’s drivability shines in simulation, with strong mid-range punch and predictable boost delivery.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Accurate front end with good rotation on entry; can be exceptionally quick when driven with patience.

  • Traction: Strong traction for a mid-engine GT3, though aggressive throttle can still trigger snap oversteer on corner exit.

  • Braking: Excellent stopping performance with stable ABS behavior and good pedal confidence.

  • Top Speed: Competitive on straights, with GT3 BoP often determining whether it’s a front-runner or just slightly off the class leaders.

Driving Style Tip: Lean on the aero and keep the inputs clean. The 720S GT3 Evo rewards disciplined steering, measured braking, and early-but-smooth throttle application. It’s especially effective at flowing circuits like Spa, Watkins Glen, Suzuka, or Silverstone, where its balance and consistency can really shine.

Livery & Aesthetics: The McLaren looks every bit the modern GT3 weapon — low, aggressive, and aerodynamic, with the signature teardrop greenhouse and dramatic side intakes. The Evo-spec bodywork gives it a planted, purposeful stance that stands out immediately in traffic or on a grid full of GT cars.

Whether you're hot lapping, racing in endurance events, or diving into close GT3 battles, the McLaren 720S GT3 Evo offers a polished, confidence-inspiring drive with real front-running potential.
