McLaren Solus GT, 2022. A track-only realisation of the McLaren concept that debuted in the virtual gaming world. Production will run to 25 cars which have already been sold. The single-seat, closed-cockpit design with jet aircraft-style sliding canopy brings to life the futuristic McLaren concept that featured in the Gran Turismo SPORT video game. At less than 1,000kg in weight and with aerodynamic performance including downforce in excess of 1,200kg, the Solus GT – which is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine – is capable of the fastest lap times of any McLaren outside of single-seater racing and delivers a driving experience close to the engagement and sensation of driving a Formula 1 car.

First Look: The McLaren Solus GT

McLaren Automotive today reveals the McLaren Solus GT, the stunning realisation of a concept car from the screens of virtual racing into an extreme expression of track driving engagement that will exhilarate in the real world.

A special commission for just 25 customers – with all cars already sold – the single-seat, closed-cockpit track car was unveiled during Monterey Car Week in California by Michael Leiters, McLaren Automotive Chief Executive Officer.          

Engineered to reality by drawing on the full range of McLaren’s experience and expertise across the highest levels of motorsport and supercar and hypercar development, the Solus GT brings to life the concept that featured in the Gran Turismo Sport video game.

At less than 1,000kg in weight and with aerodynamic performance including downforce in excess of 1,200kg, the Solus GT – which is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine – is capable of the fastest lap times of any McLaren outside of single-seater racing and delivers a driving experience close to the engagement and sensation of driving a Formula 1 car.

The list of distinctive external features is lengthy, with the sliding canopy above the single, central seat being one of the most striking. The wheels are shrouded in aerodynamic pods and located by suspension arms. A large front splitter feeds air into ground-effect tunnels before it exits the car via a full diffuser. A motorsport-inspired intake above the cockpit integrated into the design of the roll hoop cover feeds cold air into the engine, while also providing an engaging induction sound. Race car design also inspired the sidepods which house the Solus GT’s radiators.

A twin-element, fixed rear wing is key to a downforce figure that exceeds the overall weight of the car. The downforce to drag ratio is also optimised, aiding straight-line performance as well as enhancing cornering abilities.

The Solus GT experience begins even before the engine is started, with the driver opening the distinctive cockpit canopy that slides forward through a shallow arc to allow access. This is nothing like a conventional car door, or even the signature dihedral doors of other McLaren cars, rather more like stepping into a jet fighter plane.

The means of getting into the car adds to the sense of occasion provided by the single seat that dominates an interior focused solely on the driver and performance. The seat position is fixed – the 25 Solus GT owners experience their own motorsport-style ‘seat fitting’ – with the pedal box adjustable as in a race car, although with the convenience of a remote system operated from the seating position.

The steering wheel – the design of which is unique among McLaren production cars – takes its inspiration from Formula 1, with dash display and essential controls integrated to suit the tight confines of a single-seater track car. Beyond the steering wheel is a view through the glass ‘bubble’, with integrated halo-style cockpit protection – mounted to which is a rear-view display fed by a wide-angle camera placed within the roll hoop. The perfectly symmetrical 180-degree line of sight provided by the central driving position is further aided by the dramatically styled wheel pods in helping the driver to position the car on a track.

To further enhance the exhilaration for Solus GT customers, McLaren is offering a full ‘racing driver experience’. This includes a driving seat moulded to the driver’s individual body shape; an FIA-homologated race suit, helmet and HANS device bespoke to each owner, and radio-enabled ear inserts. A full driver-development coaching programme will also be available to help customers fully exploit the potential of their new track hypercar.

The Solus GT is powered by a unique 5.2-litre V10, constructed using low-volume, machined components, that revs to more than 10,000rpm and delivers extreme performance and thrilling driver engagement. The engine’s responsiveness is enhanced by the use of barrel-driven throttles for each cylinder – a system only suitable for track application – and is entirely gear-driven, with no chains or belts for camshaft or ancillary systems.

In addition to having power and torque outputs in excess respectively of 840PS and 650Nm, the engine was also chosen for its structural qualities; for the first time in a McLaren production car, the engine is an integral part of the chassis. Conventional practice in race car construction, this design approach optimizes weight reduction by negating the need for additional chassis structures or subframes behind the carbon fibre monocoque.

The race-derived seven-speed sequential gearbox, which features a bespoke casting and casing – the latter manufactured from aluminium with magnesium panels – is mounted to the back of the engine with the rear suspension fixed to the gearbox casing. Internally, straight-cut gears engaged via a multi-plate carbon fibre clutch are ideally suited to the aggressive shifts demanded in a track application. The system is fully automated and software controlled, removing the need for the driver to operate the clutch, aiding pit-lane pull-away.

Luminaire mclaren 600 lt spyder

Life is too short to drive boring cars and live in boring houses.  Now that Kennedy is getting older it’s almost time to pick up something fun and take her for a spin. Would you roll this?  And if you have something like this I have the perfect garage to park it in.  This is the McLaren 600 LT spyder in luminaire green. By far in my humble opinion one of the best colors for this car. Loaded…

McLaren Solus GT 2023 - Carrosserie et aérodynamique raffinée et optimisée

Les racines de la McLaren Solus GT se trouvent dans un concept époustouflant qui figurait dans le jeu vidéo Gran Turismo SPORT.

D'abord connu sous le nom de McLaren Ultimate Vision GT, le constructeur britannique appelle désormais la voiture de course monoplace pour piste uniquement Solus GT. Cette création autrefois purement virtuelle a pris vie sous la forme d'un concept-car lors de la Monterey Car Week de cette année, McLaren fabriquant 25 versions de production. En fait, tous les exemples ont été parlés, avec des livraisons commençant en 2023. Galerie / McLaren Solus GT 2023

Voir la Vidéo Pesant moins de 1 000 kg! la carrosserie de la Solus GT a été conçue pour produire plus de 1 200 kg d'appui aérodynamique grâce à l'aérodynamisme à effet de sol. Puisqu'il s'agit d'une monoplace, le cockpit comprend des commandes et des affichages essentiels pour les instruments! ainsi qu'un arceau de sécurité et une structure de protection de halo conformes aux normes des voitures de Formule en titane imprimé en 3D. Groupe motopropulseur La Solus GT est propulsé par un Judd V10 de 5,2 litres à aspiration naturelle. Il tourne jusqu'à 10 000 tr/min, produisant 829 ch et 650 Nm de couple. Comme une voiture de Formule 1! le moteur et sa boîte de vitesses séquentielle à 7 rapports servent d'élément structurel de son châssis! avec des amortisseurs de tige de poussée à l'avant et des tiges de traction à l'arrière. Selon McLaren, la Solus GT est en cours de développement. Elle peut atteindre 100 km/h en 2,5 secondes et atteindre une vitesse de pointe de 320 km/h. Conception de suspension axée sur la piste Bien que le prix n'ait pas été annoncé! des rumeurs disent que la McLaren Solus GT coûte au nord de 3,5 millions de dollars. Posséder une Solus GT donne droit à une « expérience de pilote de course » complète. Cela comprend un siège moulé à la forme du corps du propriétaire! une combinaison de course approuvée par la FIA! un casque et un appareil HANS, entre autres. De plus, il existe également un programme de coaching des pilotes de McLaren eux-mêmes. Egalement un accès à des sessions de conduite de prototypes où les propriétaires peuvent apporter leur contribution au développement de la voiture. Actuellement, la Solus GT est encore en phase de test sur piste. Mais une fois que c'est fait, les 25 propriétaires ont accès à des événements spéciaux sur piste McLaren. Mais aussi à tous les outils de sport automobile nécessaires pour emmener la supercar sur d'autres pistes de course à travers le monde.
