2012 McLaren 12C Racing Orange And Black Satin

McLaren GT, a new race car manufactures of the McLaren Group, the concept focuses on the Pebble Beach Concours, 12C Can-Am Edition. The one-off design study is finished in historic McLaren Orange and black satin. The 12C Can-Am Edition finished in a striking shade of McLaren Orange, in homage to the car of Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme were very successful during the 1960s and the 1970s.
