The Mclaren Solus Gt Is A Single Seater V 10 Track Monster

This isn’t McLaren’s first track-only hypercar, but it has to be its most extreme. It is a real version of the McLaren Vision GT, which was created for Gran Turismo Sport. Yes, a video game. If you’ve ever played Gran Turismo, you’ve experienced what this car is like. And what it is looks a lot like insanity.
The drivetrain is of particular interest. McLaren has long used a 3.8- or 4.0-liter turbocharged V-8 in its wildest cars, and it just introduced a hybrid V-6 for the Artura. This new car uses a 5.2-liter V-10 that McLaren says is unique. It revs to 10,000 rpm and has 829 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. It has no belts or chains. Everything moves with gears. The engine is mated to a seven-speed sequential gearbox with straight-cut gears and a carbon fiber clutch. McLaren says the engine and gearbox are derived from motorsport, with the gearbox originally intended for LMP racing cars. The engine and transmission are both stressed members of the chassis. The V-10 doesn’t have much weight to push thanks to its carbon monocoque and 3D-printed titanium components like a halo and rollbar. It even has carbon crash structures, just like in Formula 1. The suspension is double wishbones with front and rear torsion bars and the four-way dampers are manually adjusted. McLaren This is combined with the body, which will produce more downforce than the weight of the car. The first Solus owner to attempt to drive their car upside down at speed will be considered a hero. It has a fixed rear wing that is responsible for a lot of grip and the design of this already virtual car was optimized for the real world in, you guessed it, the virtual world. It’s packed with quirky details, like radiator-infused sides and shrouds to work the air around the double-wishbone suspension. There are ground tunnels. Yes, this is a car that normal people – well, normal people – can buy and then drive, and it makes an impact on the ground. There is a huge splitter up front and the air also exits through a huge diffuser.
McLaren Above the dome is an air intake so you can get all that great induction noise. This dome also hides the cockpit. The whole thing is shaped around the driver, as you’d expect with a seat and design that’s all built to the owner’s specifications. The pedals can be adjusted, but the seat is fixed. There’s a six-point race harness and the owner even gets a bespoke helmet and HANS device to keep them safe at the surely ridiculous speeds this thing can achieve. Unlike other McLarens, the steering wheel has buttons on it. In fact, almost every button is on the steering wheel, which is necessary, since the track car will need your utmost attention and you can’t adjust everything at 200 mph. McLaren This is a really wild thing, the kind of car that kids make on paper towels when they’re in the fifth grade, but adults would tell them could never exist for one reason or another. McLaren took this doodle and put it into a video game, and then some crazy people in Woking decided to make it a reality. What thing. McLaren
