Mika Häkkinen drives the McLaren Solus GT at the Goodwood Festival of Speed

[@izzad777]

Man I wish Michael never had his accident. It would be cool af to see him with Mika doing these things.

[@briangiven7399]

😢

[@Corgman]

Imagine Mika And Michael doing a trackday Mika in the Solus and Michael in the Daytona SP3

[@krishnangshuguha4099]

Everyone's a gangsta until Mika ends his sabbatical 💀

[@patrickr4762]

That is a killer spec! West Mclaren Merc colors and the splashes of rocket red, with Mika’s logo. Just Amazing, pure nostalgia from that era. My favorite Solus spec.

[@izzad777]

I have always love the silver red combo over even the red white combo during senna's time.its just more special. Certainly better than the papaya currently.

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@izzad777the silver red combo was also my favourite paint job.😅

[@shariz444]

I thought Triple F Collection Solus GT has a nice 'livery' to it but this is next level. Brings back that late 90's vibes from McLaren Mercedes era. Definitely much more character to it.

[@riccardozamprogno5824]

well, up until 2005 actually

[@lombechewemukulu3767]

Yep. Truly special. Thing of beauty

[@cmnhl1329]

Of all the recent trackday specials that have emerged, this Solus and the GMA T.50s are the ones that truly ping my yearning to drive them... Absolutely intoxicating and spine-tingling... and also beautiful.

Honestly of all people there scared hakkinen pushing it its a joke

[@manuelvpr]

This track is really narrow, you can mess up easily, the guy driving the Lotus EVIJA crashed doing a burnout just meters from the start. Mika does not want to look like a fool. This car production is limited to just 25 units, all sold out, I guess the owner of the car does not want it to be damaged or abused.

As a kid born in the early 60s, one could only imagine what cars in the 21st century would be like.. we now have ample evidence with the new crop of super cars that they have far exceeded anything we dreamt of..

[@Rastapopoulos2939]

Only, the cars from the 60s were way cooler than theese. Not to speak of cars from the early 70s.

[@manuelvpr]

This is a nice single seater car. You can see how it is very purposeful, just like a Formula 1 car, but with special features and covered wheels. I like that is it way shorter than the Valkyrie and the new Redbull/Adrian Newey RB17 it also has a 5.4 liter modified Judd V10 with a nice sound and no electric motor aid. Nice indeed.

[@mikakkinen]

Quelle merveille et quel son.

[@jackjeter7527]

Funny that every hypercar company wanna have the best sounding engine possible, meanwhile the pinnacle of motorsports aka F1 doesn’t!

[@ArthurX-eg8bc]

Formula One had to make a decision to consciously not emphasize the engine until the bodywork could catch up. This season it is common to have one second difference between the top fifteen qualifiers. Once the engine ban gets lifted, we will see much better things than if we had no engine freeze this entire time.

[@donaldtriumph1682]

Did they do a focus group on the phrasing of their car name? Everyone knows McLaren's cars are so good they are boring to drive, but I wouldn't call their car Soul-less.
