McLaren 720S GT3 Marlboro yellow Livery no 2

A Marlboro Yellow Livery That Breaks All Schemes on the NSR McLaren 720S GT3

Within NSR's Modern GT catalogue, this McLaren 720S GT3 with Marlboro yellow livery and number 2 dorsal is one of those references that captures attention at first sight. The intense yellow of the body powerfully contrasts with the characteristic white geometric design of the Marlboro decoration, creating a chromatic combination that pays homage to one of the most recognisable aesthetics in motorsport history, applied here on the sharp and modern lines of the British supercar.

Features and Highlights

• Scale: 1/32, the reference standard in competitive slot racing and collecting.
• Motor: King 21 Evo/3 at 21,400 rpm, with elastic power delivery and excellent magnetic effect.
• Chassis: Anglewinder, angled configuration relative to the rear axle, preferred by tuners to achieve the best balance between torque and top speed.
• Axles: High-precision calibrated steel.
• Bearings: Bronze bushings for a smooth and quiet operation.
• Wheels: High-precision machined aluminium.
• Chassis: Designed to be adjustable in tilt, allowing adaptation of the car's behaviour to different surfaces and grip levels.
• Reference: NSR0633AW

Scale and Level of Detail

NSR replicates the aerodynamic complexity of the real McLaren 720S GT3 in this model: the low-profile headlights, the prominent adjustable rear wing, the side air intakes, and the skirts that define the silhouette of this competition version. The Marlboro yellow livery is applied with precision, with no deviations in the geometric lines that characterise this historic design. The result is a model that performs equally well in a collector's display case as it does on the track of a demanding circuit.

Track Performance

The NSR Anglewinder chassis positions the motor at an angle relative to the rear axle, allowing for balanced weight distribution and a direct, efficient transmission. The King 21 Evo/3 motor at 21,400 rpm offers an elastic torque curve that facilitates driving on both technical circuits with many curves and high-speed layouts. The magnetic effect of the motor helps maintain grip during late braking, which makes a difference in long endurance sessions or club races where consistency is key.

The adjustable tilt chassis is a real advantage: with minor modifications, it is possible to adapt the car to the grip of different surfaces, from polished wood to plastic tracks. The bronze bushings and calibrated steel axles ensure a vibration-free operation and minimal wear over time.

Ideal For…

• Collectors seeking unusual liveries with history within the GT world.
• Club racers wanting a high-performance GT3 ready to compete from the outset.
• Slot enthusiasts who appreciate NSR's high-end components without the need for prior preparation.
• Those completing NSR's McLaren 720S GT3 series with exclusive colour variants.

Points to Consider

This model is designed to run on universal track systems (Scalextric, Ninco) and other systems compatible with the 1/32 scale. The guide and braids are NSR's standard, interchangeable with the brand's extensive spare parts catalogue in case a replacement is needed. As with all competitive slot cars, a progressive break-in session is recommended to settle the tyres and bearings before demanding maximum performance from the motor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What track systems is this NSR McLaren 720S GT3 compatible with?

It is compatible with universal track systems such as Scalextric and Ninco, as well as other 1/32 scale circuits that use the same track width. For Carrera systems, it may be necessary to adapt the guide.

What is the difference between the Anglewinder and Sidewinder chassis?

In the Anglewinder configuration, the motor is positioned at an angle relative to the rear axle, allowing for a good combination of torque and high top speed with a more balanced weight distribution. In the Sidewinder, the motor is parallel to the rear axle (transverse), which usually provides greater traction in corners. NSR opts for the Anglewinder in this model precisely for its versatility across different types of circuits.

Is this a competition model or more oriented towards collecting?

Both. The internal components — King 21 Evo/3 motor, calibrated steel axles, bronze bearings, and aluminium wheels — are on par with club racing cars. At the same time, the Marlboro yellow livery makes it a very attractive piece for collectors of historical liveries and special editions.

Are spare parts available for this model?

Yes. NSR has a wide and well-stocked spare parts catalogue: guides, braids, tyres, crowns, pinions, axles, and motors are easily locatable. This is one of the advantages of choosing NSR over other brands with less availability of spare parts.

Does it need a break-in period before using it in competition?

Yes, like any slot car with a new motor and bearings, a progressive break-in is recommended: first at low speed for a few minutes and then gradually increasing. This settles the components and improves long-term performance.

Does the chassis allow for modifications or additional preparation?

The NSR chassis is designed with preparation in mind: the tilt is adjustable and most components are interchangeable with other references from the brand, making tuning easier without the need for irreversible modifications.

The NSR McLaren 720S GT3 Marlboro Yellow Livery No. 2 (ref. NSR0633AW) is a striking 1/32 scale slot car featuring the iconic Marlboro geometric design on a vivid yellow body. Powered by the King 21 Evo/3 motor at 21,400 rpm with an Anglewinder motor mount, calibrated steel axles, bronze bearings and precision aluminium wheels, this model delivers top-level club racing performance straight out of the box. A must for collectors of GT3 liveries and NSR enthusiasts alike.
