Mclaren Solus GT Silverstone Test

The mighty Mclaren Solus GT Track day car.
This amazing machine sounds incredible, particularly at full throttle and on lift-off.
This is number 3 of only 25 to be built being tested at Silverstone in April 2024. One recently sold for more than £3,000,000
Powered by a naturally aspirated V10 revving to over 10,000 RPM and producing 840 PS (829 hp; 618 kW), 650 N⋅m (479 lb⋅ft)

I really need them to turn this into a Le Mans car. We need that Judd V10 sound back in motorsport!

[@rikkiseddo]

What it shows is that McLaren need to ditch Ricardo (engineering, not driver, everyone is ditching the driver.) and hire a new engine consultancy. Macca’s two closet UK rivals have both recently hired Cosworth for new V12s and smashed the game.
Now I don’t think Judd could cope with or do international legislation. But Honda could. It’s their last chance to do truly great IC engines (with hybrid obvs). So I’d order a modular 500cc block with 120° V6, 90° V8 turbos and V10 & V12 NA motors for track and limited run cars.

It's a Judd engine ??

[@marktucker208]

Yeah

[@YoungShul]

It's not that easy in current regs, it would be a completely different car.

[@final8772]

I understand, but what does this have to do with turning the SGT into a Le Mans car?

[@yamanmustafa7574]

When road cars sound how F1 cars should...

[@Chief-Instructor]

Agreed. However, this is a track only car and isn't road legal, so we won't be seeing it anywhere other than a track!

[@TsuZer0]

we got gran turismo irl before GTA6

[@WayApp]

Stunning

[@Fester_]

Thanks for the video. Nice.

[@ESCAPE766]

It looks the McLaren VGT from gt7

[@dafftyteam2475]

Because it is the McLaren VGT.

[@einautofan6685]

😜🤣

[@rikkiseddo]

Yeah. All the rich Saudis were like: “Woking, when’s this Ultimate VGT being released?”
And McLaren were like: “it’s a dream car, vision of the future.”
Emiratis: “we want it now.”
Engineers: “no, impossible.”
Marketing & sales: “yes, give us 12 months.”
Engineers: 😳

Sounds better than new f1 cars

[@majidmollaei1424]

wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@user-so7ut6hr8f]

New dream car unlocked

[@Kimofil]

Any laptime maybe?

[@rumbepack]

What are the odds they put this engine in a road car? im not paying 250k plus for a turbo hybrid.

[@lilshax7297]

Hope PD add this car in GT7 cause is base on the Mclaren VGT and the Mclaren Sabre took inspiration from the VGT 😮

[@xYoshiLP.]

it IS McLaren's Vision GT

[@dustyyFPS]

I was so confused at first I thought that was a game like Assetto corsa or something, since the Video quality was so bad :D

[@Thrillrider10]

I still have yet to find a v10 that doesn't sound good.

[@unkindled6410]

It is scientifically proven that 5 and 10 cylinders produce the most audibly pleasing sounds.
I shit you not, look it up.

[@Thrillrider10]

@@unkindled6410 oh I know. Is because the primary and secondary tones produce a perfect fifth.

[@vectorx777]

Going into the wall with this one.
