The moulded seat is fitted with a 6-point harness and shaped using a process taken straight from the top level of motorsport. Built for extreme track performance, it’s a completely bespoke environment. Taking you as close to the feel of Formula 1 as its possible to go. Naturally, every last detail of the interior is focused on the driving experience. With cutting-edge safety innovations straight from motorsport, the canopy is reinforced by a halo-like structure. A sliding canopy is opened using a finely engineered mechanical lever, and the whole design glides forward in a shallow arc to reveal the single seat cockpit. Entering the cockpit is a vivid experience in itself. The unique drama of driving Solus GT begins before the 5.2 Litre V10 engine is started. Straight-line performance and cornering prowess are taken to the next level. Together these innovative and extreme aerodynamic measures create downforce that exceeds the weight of the car and minimises drag. This show-stopping feature removes the need for active front and rear wings and helps to reduce weight. Maximising downforce over the rear, working in close harmony with high-downforce ground effect and low pitch sensitivity from the motorsport-derived suspension. It’s formal beauty is equally functional. These are techniques pioneered on the Speedtail hyper-GT.Ī twin-element fixed rear wing is one of many visually stunning features on Solus GT. Its super-low trailing edges minimise base pressure and cut drag. At the rear you find a full clamshell that allows easy access to the engine bay. There are dramatic wheel pods that help reduce weight and manipulate airflow to minimise turbulence behind each tyre. There’s a trademark McLaren ‘hammerhead’ nose and teardrop cockpit with wrap-around canopy screen providing a 180-degree view of the track. Pure technical sculpture, the carbon fibre body is shrink-wrapped over extreme high-performance engineering elements. Shaped by proven aerodynamic principles from the start, this is a sports-prototype racing package in every facet and detail.
