A current auction estimate is not a sale and is therefore excluded from the ledger. ## From Vision Gran Turismo to a 25-car series McLaren published the Ultimate Vision Gran Turismo in 2017 as a digital design without road or racing regulations. Five years later it announced a physical customer programme based on the same single-seat idea. The production Solus GT exchanged the concept's hybrid V8 for a Judd-derived 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 and a bespoke seven-speed sequential gearbox. Customers receive a fitted seat, race suit, helmet and driver-development programme with the car. Its first public timed run came at Goodwood in July 2023. Factory driver Marvin Kirchhöfer won the shootout in 45.34 seconds, giving the car a measured result before most customer examples had been delivered. | Highlight | Detail | | --- | --- | | A virtual car made physical | The starting point was the McLaren Ultimate Vision Gran Turismo created for a 2017 video game.

Its gearbox mounts behind it, while the rear suspension loads feed through the powertrain rather than a separate subframe. | | A timed debut | Marvin Kirchhöfer drove the Solus GT to 45.34 seconds in the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed shootout.
