McLaren Solus GT

The 5.2 L (320 cu in) V10 is a Judd-derived block, which McLaren claims produces in excess of 840 PS (829 hp; 618 kW) and 650 N⋅m (479 lb⋅ft) with a redline of 10,000 rpm.[4] The engine has individual barrel-driven throttle bodies, with gear-driven camshafts, bespoke crank, intake and exhaust systems.[2] Power is sent from the engine to the rear wheels via a Le Mans Prototype-spec 7-speed sequential gearbox, and McLaren claims that the car will do 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, with a top speed in excess of 322 km/h (200 mph).[5] The gearbox is of aluminium-magnesium construction and consists of straight-cut gears, with a carbon fibre clutch, and with the engine the two will act as stressed members.[2][1]

The chassis is a bespoke carbon fibre monocoque that incorporates numerous designs from Formula One, with 3D-printed titanium components used in the halo protecting the cockpit and roll bar, and carbon fibre crash structures similar to the ones found on Formula One cars.[6] The car features double wishbone suspension with pushrod torsion bars at the front and pull-rod torsion bars at the rear, with four-way manually adjustable dampers.[1] A sliding canopy on the roof the car slides open to allow the driver to climb into the sole seat in the vehicle,[2] similar in fashion to the Lamborghini Egoista.

The bodywork also has a unique design that borrows from the current Formula One cars that employ the ground effect. A large front splitter, Venturi tunnels integrated into the floor, a twin-element fixed rear wing all combine to give the car a claimed downforce figure of 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) at top speed.[5]
