Another idea merely based on par with the re-rendering I've recently done of some of 's car&model(s) pics thus far. If nothing more than to demonstrate that, with the right tools/methods, you can expertly blend anything with anything....

MARLOWE: Hey guys! Remember when daanton and I presented to you the 2022 McLaren Artura, the hybrid electric road car that was replacing the 570S? [link]

Well, may we now present to you the racing track version of that vehicle.... the 2023 McLaren Artura GT4.

~

Having made its global debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Sussex, England, the McLaren Artura GT4 has been designed and engineered to the specifications of GT4 racing, and would will replace the multiple-championship-winning 570S GT4 in the manufacturer's racing programme.

Although similar looking to its road-going sibling, its underpinnings are markedly different. This includes a new carbon fibre tub, which puts the kerb weight at around 1200kg—almost 200kg less than the production car and 100kg less than the outgoing McLaren 570S GT4. Motorsport modifications extend to a mechanical limited-slip differential, an endurance braking system with a sliding pedal box and a McLaren 720S GT3-style steering wheel.

Similarities to the Artura road car include the 576bhp 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine. But the track car loses the plug-in hybrid's 95bhp electric motor, due to GT4 regulations. Power output would also be controlled by a Balance of Performance (BoP) system, which can limit maximum output depending on the racing series’ rules.

Power is delivered through a seven-speed short-ratio racing gearbox, which differs from the eight-speed gearbox found in the road car.

Maximising downforce also plays a huge role in the car’s design, with a bespoke front splitter, dive planes and bonnet duct, as well as a high-efficiency wing that has seven angle settings, depending on the circuit.

Yet, despite these technical features, McLaren said it has focused heavily on accessibility, as it looked to give “the ultimate driver engagement” for both amateur and professional drivers.

The Artura GT4 is (UK) priced from £200,000—roughly £10,000 more than the road car. However, McLaren says options can take this notably higher, with a comprehensive list to “support a range of competition and track environments”. These include the fitting of a passenger seat, a tyre-pressure monitoring system, a collision-avoidance radar system, additional lights for night racing and a drinks system.

All cars would be built to order, and prospective buyers are invited to register their interest now.

MARLOWE: Yeah, like ASAP!

McLaren’s newest addition joins a number of other GT4 cars you can buy. These include the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport, Mercedes -AMG GT4 and recently released BMW M4 GT4.

MARLOWE: Which, may I add, puts this McLaren model among quite an elite and competitive performance grouping!

So once again.... introducing.... the 2023 McLaren Artura GT4.
