Engine
The Gemballa McLaren 12C GT Spider features a 3.8 liter V8 engine with a twin turbocharger system. Its total power output is 616 horsepower and can reach speeds of up to 209 mph.
Performance
The customized McLaren is similar to the stock version. With just a few changes that affect aerodynamics and being a few pounds lighter gives it more downforce and road grip but the difference is not significant.
Exterior
The design of the car has been altered using carbon fiber elements. Gemballa added front and rear bumpers and side skirts that improve the aerodynamics of the car. The full body kit also reduces the weight of the car and improves road stability.
In the rear, the tuning company changed the stock tailpipes to fit the new rear bumper. The rims have been changed to an ultra light version which is about one inch larger in diameter than the one provided by the factory.
Interior
The interior received significant visual changes. McLaren’s entire color theme has been changed to black and orange for the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The seats have been changed completely to lighter versions and are covered mostly in orange leather.
You have the option to customize the color of the interior along with the instrument dials.
