All 25 units of the McLaren Solus GT, an extreme track machine with a price tag of over £3 million each, have already been sold. Owners will also receive a travel case for transporting the car to events organized by McLaren.

The CEO of McLaren Automotive, Michael Leiters, described the Solus GT as a realization of a radical concept vehicle originally designed for virtual racing. He emphasized that the car was engineered without any restrictions and represents McLaren’s pioneering spirit.

These engineering freedoms influenced the design of the Solus GT. It features various aerodynamic elements, including a wide front splitter, ground-effect venturi tunnels in the structural floor, a fixed high-downforce rear wing, and individual wheel pods.

According to McLaren, the wheel pods help reduce weight and control airflow, minimizing turbulence and pressure build-up in the wheel well. They also serve as reference points for the driver when positioning the car on the track.

The Solus GT features double-wishbone suspension arms at the front and back, similar to those used in Formula 1. These arms are enclosed in aerodynamic carbon fiber shrouds.
