Just slightly more than 10 years ago, McLaren stormed back to the high-performance car scene with the MP4-12C. Following shortly after was a track-focused model engineered to adhere to FIA Group GT3 standards for worldwide competitions. Presently, a Japanese luxury car rental establishment, Arios, has converted one of these scarce vehicles into a specialized drift car. Japanese publication VIDEO OPTION made a visit to the track to witness the racing McLaren navigate through some thrilling drifts.
In the current era, racing guidelines are extremely stringent, making it nearly impossible for regular street vehicles to participate without substantial alterations. For this reason, luxury car manufacturers like McLaren frequently create specialized racing editions of their cars to comply with competition regulations. The MP4-12C GT3 stands as a prime example, with McLaren having manufactured around 40 units up to the year 2013.
