    McLaren has revealed the production version of a car that first appeared in the Gran Turismo video game and has given it the Solus GT name.

    It has been built around a unique monocoque chassis with enclosed wheels and a substantial rear wing The car itself weighs less than 1000 kg yet it produces 1200 kg of downforce when going flat out.

    Powering the Solus GT is a 5.2-litre V10 engine (a first for a McLaren customer car) which revs all the way to 10,000 rpm and pushes out more than 830 hp (641 kW) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque.

    This significant grunt is sent to the rear wheels via a bespoke seven-speed sequential gearbox and is able to rocket the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds. The top speed exceeds 321 km /h (200 mph), according to McLaren.

    The driver sits in an enclosed cabin which is accessed by a jet plane-type sliding canopy. Inside the future owners will find a fixed seat created and moulded to suit the individual.

    Each of the 25 units has been spoken for with future owners having to fork out more than £3 million (approx. R70m).

    “The McLaren Solus GT is the realisation of a radical McLaren concept vehicle originally created for the world of virtual racing,” said Michael Leiters, new CEO of McLaren Automotive.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
