Revealed in the midst of last year’s Monterey Car Week festivities, the new McLaren Solus GT generated plenty of buzz for being the real-life version of McLaren’s virtual Vision Gran Turismo racing concept. The car was limited to just 25 units, and was created with a no-compromise racing-focused design boasting the capability to generate more downforce than the car itself even weighs, as well as a unique 5.2-liter V10 engine, capable of 829 horsepower and 479 lb/ft of torque. With targeted performance figures like a 2.5-second 0-60 time and a top speed above 200 mph, it’s a car meant to be celebrated, and that’s exactly what McLaren is doing.
