In a display that truly epitomizes one of the most glamorous grand prix weekends on the Formula 1 calendar, a McLaren Solus GT valued at nearly $4 million<\/a> was hoisted onto the deck of a luxury superyacht, Sarastar, in front of captivating onlookers in Monte Carlo\u2019s harbor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Solus GT, a single-seater track-only hypercar limited to just 25 examples worldwide, packs a 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 engine that produces 829 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. With a high-revving 10,000 rpm redline and a curb weight of 2,057 pounds (dry) owing to its carbon-fiber monocoque, it gets to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, and its top speed is rated at 200 mph. One of the most striking features of the Solus GT is its fighter-jet style canopy, which has been enhanced on this particular example owing to its special livery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This striking presentation is part of a broader celebration of the Woking brand\u2019s heritage this weekend, with McLaren\u2019s unveiling of a special \u2018Riviera\u2019 livery<\/a> for both MCL39 F1 cars that will run through Monaco and Barcelona race weekends. The design takes inspiration from the team\u2019s first-race winning car, the M7A.<\/p>\n

This Solus GT, meanwhile, wears a livery inspired by three-time F1 World Champion Ayrton Senna\u2019s iconic red and white Marlboro MP4\/4 F1 race car, <\/a>and aligns with the owner\u2019s P1 GTR. A closer look reveals an MSO (McLaren Special Operations) badge, and unique details like a Brazilian flag near the roof air-intake and an iconic quote from Senna himself on the door sill that reads \u201cIf you no longer go for a gap that exists, you\u2019re no longer a racing driver.\u201d This Solus GT\u2019s prominent position in the Monaco harbour is just a mere glimpse of what\u2019s to come as the grand prix weekend unfolds in the principality.<\/p>\n
