Listen To The McLaren Solus GT Make Wicked V10 Sounds Up Goodwood Hill Climb

Almost a year ago,McLaren unveiled the Solus GT, and now the V10-powered single-seater has made its so-called "dynamic debut," strutting its stuff on the climb up Lord March's driveway at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The famed British automaker is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year and, at the annual motoring extravaganza, has showcased both the Solus GT and the newMcLaren 750S, as well as the Artura, a supercar thatcontinues to give Woking major headaches. But we're not here to dwell on the shortcomings of the manufacturer; we're here to appreciate all the excellence it is capable of, and that starts by listening to that V10 engine sing.

Just 25 customer cars will be built, each featuring a seat fitted to the exact dimensions of the buyer. The 5.2-liter V10 revs to north of 10,000 rpm, producing 829 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque along the way, enough to get from 0-62 mph in just 2.5 seconds. Top speed? Over 200 mph. For a car like theSolus GT, built only to attack twisting circuits, that's more than enough.

Other track-only vehicles on display include the 12C GT3, the 650S GT3, the 570S GT4, the 720S GT3 X (which was fastest in the timed shootout at Goodwood in 2021), the GT3 Evo, and thenon-hybrid Artura Trophy.
