JB is one of the best combo journalists in the business. Driving ability and eloquence matter to me when it comes to high performance vehicles. Harris, Bovingdon, Sutcliffe and Catchpole truly encapsulate that for me amongst others.
Hang on a minute I know that Solus!! I’ve seen Jordan, Jason and Daves Solus many times before. On frickin Top Gear, Let’s Go Boys!! Bet you guys are buzzin!! I’m well happy for you.
I know it was all insured blah blah but a huge thank you to the owner(s) of these cars. I've been to COTA on a few track days and you are cooking around this circuit in these cars.
@@gcarlson Hey, The original 6 litre zonda had the Mercedes M120. It was just the standard s600 block with a dry sump. AMG only got involved when the engine was bored out to 7L. My engine is the 6L M120 which is getting hard to come by. The AMG version is super rare. I belive that only came in the Japanese s600 with upgraded cams for 30+ hp. I would love to eventually get some cams made for mine tho and get a stroker crank made to increase the capacity and power. For now I will be running all the stock ecus for reliability and to speed up the build. The chassis is part tube frame and part carbon tub 🙂 full carbon body. It's a one off car that I have designed. Initially I will be using the stock suspension to get the build registered for the road. I can easily change it later or upgrade to a pushrod setup. The factory s600 suspension is setup the same as the ferrari 458, double wishbone on the front, multi-link rear. I have the first episode up on my channel explaining the design in more detail. Thanks for your support 😎👍
Still remember reading your reviews when I was like 12-14 years old on magazines lol, so glad seeing you again on these reviews so many years later Jethro fricking Bovingdon !
This car is also a good opportunity for Judd to showcase what they are known for to a wider audience. They are probably the only ones building high-rev V10 engines now.
Wow…that is amazing. I remember when Judd made F1 engines back in the 70’s and 80’s. How about a race series with this beast and Aston’s Valkyrie? Little power advantage for the Aston though
What a machine - that engine is incredible! No more comparisons to F1 please. This is a LMP1 / hypercar. Take it to the best racing series with all the big manufacturers now involved - FIA WEC. Would love to see this thing racing at Le Man's.
McMurtry is irrelevant itself. Google how long it can run on a single charge in full attack mode. It can’t do a full lap on some longer tracks lol currently, it’s just an experiment, it even can’t be named a real track car
I get that it's beautiful, but it's like a budget cobble-together of the Valkyrie. Using design lifted from the AMR, with a bought-to-match catalogue V10. What's bespoke about it? It's like "oh, yeah we could do that too" - insert "we have a F1-for-the-road car at home" meme.
I’m not sure how good of a driver he is, but on the dash it said his best lap was at one point, a 2:04.5, which is crazy when you think he won’t be pushing it to it’s max, and isn’t a professional racing driver
The car sounds muscular from the inside and screams with high pitch sound from outside. What a machine tho and from the outside it sounds better than LFA
So both the McLaren Solas GT and the Red Bull RB17 have hybrid NA V10s, but the McLaren is a 5.2L while the Red Bull is a 4.5L, but with a 332 HP difference, the McLaren only produces 858 HP, while the Red Bull produces 1,200 HP
I don't understand, why Mclaren doesn't just use this car as a Le Mans Hypercar. The interest to enter is there and they already have the perfect platform...
Felt like quite a bit of short shifting there which I fully appreciate given the cars cost. Would love to see this at full tilt. Get some footage of an f1 driver in this please
I've been using this car (Essentially) in Gran Turismo 7, for the 800pp Events, for over a year. The central seating and futuristic interior is stunning in VR! Absolutely incredible to see the real thing come to fruition. Stunning car, and one of the better VGT (Vision Gran Turismo) cars in the game.
“2.5 million something’s who knows” 😂😂😂 just some up how common these insane price tags are becoming. atleast the cars are insane now to go with the price tag
Which track-only hypercar would you choose: McLaren Solus GT or Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro?
The AM, of course!
bugatti bolide
The amg ONE
917/30 or R92CP
Beautiful car… but that paint scheme is ridiculous
Don't worry Jethro we don't mind....drive the heck out of that thing!
That is awesome.
Legends!!! So happy this video exists because of you guys!
You guys should buy Willow Springs, or split it with Emelia Hartford. Easy way to give your cars a proper dive
You are awesome! Thanks for being among the best of the best of the car community!
Amazing :) !!!
Imagine your warm up and sighting lap IS IN A SENNA.
GTR*
Because the regular Senna is too easy to prepare you for the Solus 😭
your haND SUCKO ;o
A senna gtr , not a normal senna
Wrapping one's brain around that .....
GTR as well 😂

RIP Ollie
Jethro is a fine Journo , and he can pedal like a good un.
Yeah, the top gear formula grew old a looong time ago.
All I heard was a bloke banging on about how shit a driver he is.
Dude, your so right, didn't notice till you said that. Wow
I'm gonna need a Solus VS Valkyrie ASAP
Valkrye pro is superior
@@Mew-ip3iy even the normal one might be superior
Judd v10 vs cosworth v12.
Two of my favourite engines
@@virgokarma3853 what about G.M.A's one ?
@@bruno100carrothe t.50 is made more for driving experience rather than pure performance, hell of a car though
Great that Jethro is on top gear, he’s been one of the best reviewers in the industry for some time now
Apparently not according to the Tiktok brained fools in these comments.
Can't remember. Where was he before? Edmunds?
@@RomainSandt Evo
8:22 is it me or are the brake lights moving about?
cant tell
I saw it too. Definitely not properly attached. Shouldn't be flapping arround?
@@pikachu5225 it's quite subtle eh
More downforce 😅
It's the rain light
The triple f solus gt, awesome spec and great mclaren line up
In a world where everything is either hybrid or electric and weighs 2.5 tons... It's good to see cars like this being created.
Triple F Collection is legendary!
Shout out to McLaren actually making a new car for once, this looks sweet!
How many cool cars today. Maybe this is golden age from some point of view?
Could be the manufacturers pushing to make epic cars before it all goes electric
not at all, this is bollionaire stuff in 80ties and 90ties average Joe had great cars! so did the billionaires 205GTI / F40
@@eduardhenny5725 Corvette, Mustang, GT3 are not for billionaires.

Good, now McLaren should take it to LeMans🏎️
It even has a Judd v10
It is crazy, warming up in the Senna GTR just to be prepared for the Solus GT 🏁
That things front reminds me of the sabre 🔥
Edit: speed tail as well.
Fantastic video! Love Jethro! Love COTA! Love McLaren! Huge thanks to Tripple F, and everyone who made this happen.
Might just be the best looking hypercar to date. And the Gulf livery is just awesome.
One of the coolest cars ever made imo. Jethro amazing as always. Thanks Triple F for letting us see this proper.
As Clarkson would say, I think I just had a moment. Holy crap that thing is beautiful.
A V10 🙌🏻
💪
I am using the OG zonda V12 engine for my project 😎
Hang on a minute I know that Solus!! I’ve seen Jordan, Jason and Daves Solus many times before. On frickin Top Gear, Let’s Go Boys!! Bet you guys are buzzin!! I’m well happy for you.
This is the one, THIS should have been named McLaren Senna! Come on!!!
As soon as i clicked on the video and I also saw the thumbnail, I knew it was for Tripple F. Nice of them to lend you guys their car.
I know it was all insured blah blah but a huge thank you to the owner(s) of these cars. I've been to COTA on a few track days and you are cooking around this circuit in these cars.
V10 yes please. McLaren should make a racing series with these cars, I would stop watching F1 with their hybrid V6s.... Judd is 👑 of V10s
That V10 sound is too sick
Jesus, this was next level. ...Imagine being a prince of some petrostate and this is is just another track day!?! Damn.
oh man, that v10... absolute music.
Sounds magical 😍
I am building my dream V12 supercar with the OG zonda engine 😎
@@UKBUILT No kidding? Is that the Merc AMG built engine? What are you doing for the chassis and suspension?

@@gcarlsonThanks for your support 😎
Any car manufacturer that still puts v10s know what we wanna hear, props to Mclaren for this creation 👏
seeing this thing at goodwood last year was insane
Hotwheels version of this car is amazing. Love It.
10:13 Editor needs a raise. Brilliant jump cut.
Still remember reading your reviews when I was like 12-14 years old on magazines lol, so glad seeing you again on these reviews so many years later Jethro fricking Bovingdon !
They realy made the visin GT real, you are not lying down but daym its almost exatly the same shape and desing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing video and Big Thanks too ThetripleFCollection to borrow their diamond making this video possible, greetings from Norway ❤
This car is also a good opportunity for Judd to showcase what they are known for to a wider audience. They are probably the only ones building high-rev V10 engines now.
Good gah that Solus sounds brilliant. Amazing. Dreamy!
Nothing will ever beat look and performance of P1 GTR.still waiting for something revolutionary
That is a proper halo.. in a car with a roof.. are they intending to race this?
I noticed that too, I think it's a nod to F1 more than actual use
Wow…that is amazing. I remember when Judd made F1 engines back in the 70’s and 80’s. How about a race series with this beast and Aston’s Valkyrie? Little power advantage for the Aston though
TripleF on Top Gear way to go lads!!!!
What an incredible machine 👌💨🏁👊
I love the Gulf colors. I'd also love to see some lap times with a top Le Mans driver compared to other cars.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate 165hp per liter!
But the T.50s takes the cake with 198ps/L. Is that the highest N/A specific output ever?
What a machine - that engine is incredible! No more comparisons to F1 please. This is a LMP1 / hypercar. Take it to the best racing series with all the big manufacturers now involved - FIA WEC. Would love to see this thing racing at Le Man's.
Imagine this was Chris Harris.
Would love to see Jethro being TG TV host next to Chris. That'd be great.
@FAT8893 don't know who that is, but this guy is such a muppet, it's unreal. He makes a hypercar top-of-the-line McLaren video boring.
@@Retheraq this guy is Jethro hahaha and yeah I agree he is boring as hell
My thoughts exactly
Imagine this was chris Evans or chris hamsworth or chris Pratt or Christopher Nolan 😂😂😂😂😂
8:21 The negative pressure broke the brake/fog light. British quality.
full lap helmet cam no talking...is that too much to ask for?
Crazy to think I was there and heard this insane car go around COTA
Would Love to see a comparison video between the Solus GT & the Valkyrie AMR!!!
I think the McMurtry makes this almost irrelevant except for that epic V10 noise.
McMurtry is irrelevant itself. Google how long it can run on a single charge in full attack mode. It can’t do a full lap on some longer tracks lol currently, it’s just an experiment, it even can’t be named a real track car
McLaren still can't build their own engine? Wow.
Never have prob never will. All BMW and Nissan 😂
Not much difference between hiring talent to build your engines vs hiring another company.
No point EV is coming
Buying this supercar soon .
I love the Gulf Racing paint job.👌🏻
It’s like a Caparo T1 and a KTM X bow GTxR had a baby.
So it basically gets more power the faster you go , wow , take a bow
That v10 engine makes this a very special McLaren. Unlike the numerous “special edition” mclarens.
8:24 classic Mclaren engineering, brake light flapping about.
Or I might be wrong and that’s by design😂
I get that it's beautiful, but it's like a budget cobble-together of the Valkyrie. Using design lifted from the AMR, with a bought-to-match catalogue V10. What's bespoke about it? It's like "oh, yeah we could do that too" - insert "we have a F1-for-the-road car at home" meme.
8:21 the car is so fast the rain light cant keep up with it lol
I’m not sure how good of a driver he is, but on the dash it said his best lap was at one point, a 2:04.5, which is crazy when you think he won’t be pushing it to it’s max, and isn’t a professional racing driver
God damn. I have to leave a comment just for the channel’s financial support. That was amazing.
The car sounds muscular from the inside and screams with high pitch sound from outside. What a machine tho and from the outside it sounds better than LFA
This is the coolest looking and sounding car in years. Wow
experience educates every one.
Flappy Rain light😲
nach langewiliger geht es kaum. Mir ist egal wie die Sicht ist Mehr Emotionen
Ok, track versions of Valkyrie & T.50 vs Solus next please !
Pagani Huyara R my child

I don't understand, why Mclaren doesn't just use this car as a Le Mans Hypercar. The interest to enter is there and they already have the perfect platform...
Would like to see Lando in it doing some hot laps…
Felt like quite a bit of short shifting there which I fully appreciate given the cars cost. Would love to see this at full tilt. Get some footage of an f1 driver in this please
I've been using this car (Essentially) in Gran Turismo 7, for the 800pp Events, for over a year. The central seating and futuristic interior is stunning in VR! Absolutely incredible to see the real thing come to fruition. Stunning car, and one of the better VGT (Vision Gran Turismo) cars in the game.
Hopefully, the tail light can be sorted out as it was flapping in the breeze.... unless it is hinged and designed to do that.
Judd V10, enough said
Yeah 😆
I love engines, I am building my dream V12 supercar
If it had Gulf decals/livery it'd look perfect.
I love it! It looks like a Ferrari! So how do you get out of no one is around?
You know it's serious when you have to warm up in a Senna GTR.
I'd like to see Max really take it to the cars edge.
I need this car so bad in Gran Turismo 7 😍😍
Believe it or not, this is based on the McLaren VGT
@@GREENY_SOi know this is why need is irl counterpart in the game
Very reminiscent of the Aston Martin valkyrie
Somehow this car looks like it's from 1995 and 2095 simultaneously
Rain light falling off, bit awkward for the price tag. Awesome though 🔥
“Come to Texas. The DIVE PLANES are HUGE!!!” Said no one ever. Source: am Texan.
It's okay.... but I vastly prefer Murray's T50 for sound and functionality. The Solus is a racecar pure and simply.
“It’s like someone shoved a rabid badger down the front of my trousers…” This doesn’t hold a candle to the real Top Gear..
ty
we got top gear hitting 9 mil before gta 6
8:21 broken light?
This car sounds lyk the iconic mp4/5 & mp4/5B.......🤯
Sounds awesome
McLaren solus GT all the way
8:23 PitCrew please secure that bouncing Brake light 😮
Mclaren Solus GT vs Aston Martin Valkyrie Amr vs Bugatti bolide vs AMG Project One
The amg one should be on slicks then and even with more aero to be any competitive in this company
2 track only cars vs modded street car for track vs street legal car = Not fair comparisons
When I saw v10 and McLaren, my first thought was “another Cosworth engine development.”
More Jethro please 👍
My Golf would smoke it.
“2.5 million something’s who knows” 😂😂😂 just some up how common these insane price tags are becoming. atleast the cars are insane now to go with the price tag
A total production run of 25. How many of those will actually be tracked? And, of the ones which are tracked, how many will be tracked more than once?
