From McLaren
As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations, McLaren will showcase a selection of legendary models from the company's heritage collection at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the stunning M8D.
Alongside some of the most famous race- and championship-winning models from the brand's illustrious past will be the latest model from McLaren GT which echoes a name with significant links to McLaren - the 12C GT Can-Am Edition - which will thrill crowds as it takes part in the run up the Goodwood Hill.
The McLaren name is synonymous with Can-Am racing throughout the 1960s and 1970s, with the McLaren Racing team claiming five back-to-back world championships between 1969 and 1974, making it the most successful team in the history of the championship.
The original McLaren Can-Am racers were campaigned by great names from motorsport history including Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme, and are the inspiration for the 12C GT Can-Am Edition.
The track-only 12C GT Can-Am Edition will be produced in strictly limited numbers, with no more than 30 being built globally. This exclusivity is fitting for the most powerful 12C produced to-date - a worthy tribute to the first McLaren model to wear the Can-Am name since 1972.
