THE INTERSECTION OF FANTASY AND REALITY - SOLUS GT
An extreme McLaren design concept born in the virtual racing world. Now made real. And ultra-rare. There will only ever be 25 Solus GTs. Rendered possible through McLaren’s position at the apex of motorsport, supercar and hypercar development – this is a pure expression of track driving focus and engagement. A single seater. With central closed cockpit and jet aircraft-style canopy. A ground-up design set free from the compromises of road and race regulations. The unique monocoque houses a naturally aspirated 5.2 litre V10 engine that revs beyond 10,000rpm and generates more than 840PS. In a ruthlessly pared down machine that weighs less than 1,000kg and generates 1,200kg of downforce. It’s as close to the experience and feel of driving a Formula 1 car as you can get.
LIKE A FORMULA 1 CAR FOR ENTHUSIASTS
Open the graceful canopy and step into the single seat interior. Each Solus GT owner experiences a personal seat fitting. This means the driving position is spot-on and fine-tuned thanks to the adjustable pedal box. Race ready. Beyond the Formula 1 inspired steering wheel, through the curving glass bubble, is a panoramic symmetrical 180-degree view of the track. Perfected by the central driving position. The sculpted wheel pods help the driver to position Solus GT with pinpoint accuracy.
The depth of ability and the sensory overload delivered by this Formula 1-style car for enthusiasts are such that McLaren has created a total ‘racing driver experience’. It starts with the individual seat fitting, but also includes an FIA-homologated race suit, helmet and HANS [head and neck safety] device, plus radio communication technology. We make sure that every second can be savoured.
RACING HEART
The 5.2 litre V10 engine that powers Solus GT is unique. Its crank, capacity, air intake and exhaust system are all bespoke. There are barrel throttles for each individual cylinder – a technology that is strictly for track use and delivers razor-edge throttle response. The camshaft and ancillary systems are gear driven, so the engine is free from chains and belts. Many components are low-volume and machined. In keeping with its pure motorsport lineage, the engine is fixed directly to the monocoque – it’s a structural part of the chassis. This is an approach rarely seen in production cars, but in an extreme track racer it delivers vital strength and rigidity. And a rush of detailed feedback to the driver that means 100% engagement.
Solus GT’s wild engine is controlled using a 7-speed sequential gearbox using racing-style straight cut gears, and a carbon fibre clutch with automated software. It provides a balance of aggressive shifting and user-friendliness. The results of this bespoke, single-minded combination are a 0 – 100km/h [62mph] in a target of 2.5 seconds and a maximum speed beyond 200mph. But it’s the feel and sound and experience that will be remembered most clearly. Eclipsing even these incredible statistics.
Asphalt 9: Legends[]
The McLaren Solus GT was added in the Racing Through Fire & Hall of Flames Update as a high Class B car with the following rank statistics:
- Stock rank: 2,506 (
1) 
rank: 2,719- rank: 3,025 ( 26)
- rank: 3,296 ( 34)
- rank: 3,692 ( 40)
- rank: 4,076 ( 62)
Performance[]
At its stock rank, the McLaren Solus GT has a top speed rating of 322, good acceleration rating (77.50), above below-average handling rating (51.36) with a moderate drift radius, and low nitro efficiency rating (37.19). The Solus GT's high acceleration and decent handling enables it to get up to speed quickly and maintain much of it around corners. In addition, the Solus GT has a very low top speed rating for a Class B car.
Upgrades to the McLaren Solus GT give the greatest improvements to its nitro efficiency, followed very closely by its handling, then acceleration, with the least increases to its top speed. Because of the Solus GT's high upgrade ceiling, the effects of its upgrades are more easily felt versus other cars. While its top speed remains very low given its placement as a high-ranked Class B car, the Solus GT's improved acceleration allows it to get up to speed very quickly, especially with shockwave. Handling upgrades also allows the Solus GT to maintain its speed more easily around corners and while driving on rough surfaces. It acts as a Class B version of the Ares S1, having a significantly lower top speed in exchange for excellent acceleration, handling, and nitro efficiency. At MAX, the McLaren Solus GT is a good option for multiplayer and events as it can compete with the Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder, Porsche Carrera GT and other high Class B cars.
With an acceleration rating of 89.30 at MAX, the McLaren Solus GT is the fastest accelerating Class B car.
