- Two-time McLaren Formula 1 World Champion Mika Häkkinen experienced the epic McLaren Solus GT at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Häkkinen, who won two World Drivers’ Championships with McLaren in 1998 and 1999 - and was part of the 1998 World Constructors’ Championship winning team - is an icon of Formula 1’s V10 era. The single-seater Solus GT, with its dramatic V10 engine and 10,000rpm redline, is evocative of this period in the sport’s history.
And the Solus GT driven by Mika is especially mesmerising. One of 25 customer cars that will be built, it has been hand painted by McLaren Special Operations to match the livery of his 1998 championship winning McLaren MP4/13 Formula 1 car, the colours expertly matched and applied.

Man I wish Michael never had his accident. It would be cool af to see him with Mika doing these things.
😢
Imagine Mika And Michael doing a trackday Mika in the Solus and Michael in the Daytona SP3
Everyone's a gangsta until Mika ends his sabbatical 💀
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.
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.
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.
well, up until 2005 actually
Yep. Truly special. Thing of beauty
Yea, that era staved off Ferraris dominance - it could’ve been worse
Was sure taking his time driving around the track.
Honestly of all people there scared hakkinen pushing it its a joke
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.
@@manuelvprThe Lotus had a compu prob it was not the driver🙅🏻♂️
Hey, he’s just heading down the shops to pick up some milk- what do you expect? 😉
It's a demo run, you muffin.🙂 The idea is to give fans a chance to see, hear, photograph and video it. No prizes for destroying it whilst trying to look cool.
Everybody loves Mika
Reporter: "How's the car? Mika?"
Mika: "Fast :D"
Reporter: "And?"
Mika: "And?"
Mika: yes
That thing sounds better than the current Formula 1…
yeah because its a NA V10
@@jamiehayn a slight addition: a high reviving NA V10 😁
What a beutiful colors had those Mclaren/West/Mercedes cars, black, silver and the red logo....Nice times....
Лучшие!)
now i need that livery on the f1 car pls
the papaya sucks !
not sorry
@@cheesepizza87 AGREED
Return to the past?
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.
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.
You’ve got to love Mika. Such a happy guy with such happy eyes. Phenomenal driver. One of the best ever
The colour scheme was so on point!! Love to see the silver-red over papaya!
I was there Saturday, got within a few feet from him!! Blew my mind wasn't expecting it. Was awesome seeing the McLaren pit crew and media in person
We're glad you had a fantastic time at Goodwood - thanks for coming down & supporting 🧡
That paint scheme looks like the McLaren West paint scheme
ooooooooooooooh west mcmerc colors :o
What a livery.
A standout car for sure
@@McLarenAutomotiveTV I'm glad you and Mika found...solace with it.
Mclaren 1998/99 were the best looking F1 cars ever IMO
Mika Häkkinen is a Legend
This car + Mika Häkkinen + Spa
Please
Last time I saw Mika, he was driving an amg merc with Captain Slow by his side. He still looks great
west livery forever in my heart
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..
Only, the cars from the 60s were way cooler than theese. Not to speak of cars from the early 70s.
We hear these beautiful sounds and wonder when will be happen again in F1 cars 🙏🏻
I wonder if Kimi will start talking this much too with age lol
Best looking modern car by far👌
You know a good car when you see one
@@McLarenAutomotiveTV ya spot on there 😄
This would look great next to my Red Bull RB17, and Aston Martin Valkyrie. Now I just need the money to buy them all.
Because of hakkinen, i become a mclaren fan
The best family 🧡
Мой самый любимый чемпион формулы 1) Болел за него с 1997 года)
Mika and the colors oh nearly dropped some tears... But what a insane Car this is!
This might be the best sounding V10 I've ever heard.
We can listen to it on repeat
@@McLarenAutomotiveTV Video idea: "Solus GT V10 engine noises ASMR"
The sexiest sound!! Eargasm!!!
Funny that every hypercar company wanna have the best sounding engine possible, meanwhile the pinnacle of motorsports aka F1 doesn’t!
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.
Great point perfectly made
only need West decals on the door. and the memories will come back.
Dave mustain messing around in mclaren
That V10 sound!❤
I need this one as 1/18 scale model now.
Nice colour ❤
Beautiful sound
Our kind of ASMR
this spec is stunning!
Mika Hakkinen and Tommi Makinen..my motorsport idols
Nice ambient, Nice Solus GT 😎👍
This thing is not made for driving - it is made for FLYING. 🙏🚀🛸💪
Proud to say I machined some of the major engine components for these cars.😁
" mrs smith down the road " " said she can drive faster !" Laugh 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 ahhhhh
what a glorious sound
We couldn't agree more
Love you Häkkinen #5 #11 🏁🇲🇽🌹
I like that livery, imagine with the west ads on the sidepod
Yes Yes Padrísimo 👍 Extraordinary Prototipo 👉👍
Mika Hakkinen, el hombre que volvio de la muerte. Un capo. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷❤️
I like it a lot. Bruce Wayne would ask if it comes in black.
Even sounds similar to the late 90s MP4 F1 V10s
So the flying Finn try’s the experience of McLaren latest track car at goodwood😮
In its original colors this car was stunning. Now it's merely striking.
Taking it up a level with this livery
Fenômeno de carro MCLAREN SOLUS❤
I’m looking forward to the special Lotus Evija release video - oh wait 😂
great Mika....and great car....obviously.....amazing.....$$$$$
Que ronco maravilhoso, espero que façam mais carros aspirados ❤🙌
この調子で他のVGTもどんどん市販化してほしい
Esse som é mágico é o que falta na fórmula 1 de hoje mais emoção com som emocionante ❤
"He's NOT an ex World Champion; he's a VERY NAUGHTY BOY."😁
[Monty Python 'Life of Brian' reference.]
Wow its the McLaren Vision from Gran Turismo
He's still in sabbatical right? 😂✌🏼

This guy was great in Casino Royale as the bad guy
Today's number eight has tons of pearls of wisdom.
👍 Very Beautiful 👍
Speed Racer inspo?
King Mika👌
From Gran Turismo Vision car to real life
its hard to believe that is considered a GT
Perfect beginner car!
now take it to Le Mans
slow and steady wins the race
Wasn’t very super for a supercar, sounds cool, would like to see it seriously run up the hill.
thebest on veux ca en f1 the best skine
Quero ver a lamzante homologar edte carro para rua 😅
Secretly testing so he can end his sabbatical
Nice.
Beautiful car, but that central pillar looks like it would be annoying to drive.
Is that for Hypercar/GTP or just a street/track monster?
Can’t say I like the proportions, the livery, how Mika trundled along, etc. But the production quality , Mika, and the edit are so good
"Mika Häkkinen's Grandma drives the McLaren Solus GT" - there, fixed it for you.
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.
What problem does Mika Hakkinen have with the throttle?
🔥🔥
Mika
mika and mads mikkelsen could be related.
That coloring still reminds me of west tobaccos, so is it tobacco advertising?
Why did they implement the Halo into this car? 🤨🤨
Haha nice livery
