The rarest McLaren in the world: the McLaren Solus GT

The McLaren Solus GT isn’t just another rare hypercar.

It is a stunning example of what happens when virtual dreams become real-life rarities.

Originally designed as a concept for the Gran Turismo video game, McLaren took this digital marvel and transformed it into a limited-run, track-only monster.

Unveiled in 2022, the Solus GT is the sixth addition to McLaren’s Ultimate Series, joining the ranks of the F1, P1, Senna, Speedtail, and Elva.

Only 25 were ever made

What makes the McLaren Solus GT truly exceptional is how rare it is.

Only 25 units of the Solus GT exist, and every single one was snapped up before the car even made its public debut.

That’s right. Before the world laid eyes on it in the flesh – more accurately, carbon fiber – it was already a sell-out.

And in a world flooded with limited editions and ‘one-of-a-kind’ marketing fluff, the Solus GT actually delivers on the promise.

McLaren Solus GT moves at gravity-defying speeds

Considering the specs and exclusivity, it isn’t hard to see why.

For starters, the Solus GT boasts a racing-derived 5.2-liter V10 engine that screams past 10,000rpm and pumps out over 828 horsepower.

Weighing less than 2,205 pounds, it generates more than 2,645 pounds of downforce at 150mph, making it capable of cornering at speeds that would make most cars dizzy.

It can deliver a 0-62mph performance in 2.5 seconds, and boasts a max speed of 200mph.

This isn’t something you’ll see parked outside your local coffee shop.

In fact, it’s not even road legal, and that’s very much by design.

Like being inside a fighter jet

The Solus GT is a purpose-built track car with a single seat and a canopy that slides open like a fighter jet.

The design is pure race car: think pushrod suspension, carbon fiber monocoque, and slick aerodynamics.

There are no frills, just function, speed, and raw power.

In a world where hypercars are often designed for the road and track, the Solus GT stands apart by focusing solely on track performance.

Its limited production, bespoke features, and motorsport pedigree make it a collector’s dream and a true testament to McLaren’s engineering prowess.

So if you ever find yourself at a racetrack and hear the unmistakable scream of a V10 echoing through the stands, you’re in luck.

You might just be witnessing the rarest of the rare: a McLaren Solus GT in action.
