McLaren Automotive has announced that a GT3 variant of its 720S road car is set for development during 2018 with the intention that it will be available for customer teams for the 2019 season.

The McLaren 720S will join its stablemates, the 650S GT3 and the 570S GT4 in its global motorsports programme.

Few details have been announced about the new programme other than two renderings which give a taste of the purposeful styling of the new Woking-built track weapon.
