The single-seat, track-only McLaren breaks from roadgoing tradition via a naturally aspirated V10 instead of a twin-turbocharged V8, resulting in 829 horsepower, 429 pound-feet, and a staggering rev limit of 10,000 rpm. It debuted at Monterey Car Week 2022, but the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed marks the first time we’ll actually see the McLaren Solus GT moving around under its own power. ![]() But I promise you, I won’t be feeling logical when I hear that throaty, turbocharged flat-four screaming around Goodwood. And if you want to get all boring and logical, a modern Porsche 911 Carrera GTS has faster acceleration for roughly a fifth of the price. At 560,000 British pounds including value-added tax ($727,000 at current exchange rates), the limited-production 22B homage is not cheap. The Prodrive’s carbon-intensive bodywork cuts about 200 pounds of fat from the 22B, allowing the restomod rally car to hit 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds.īest of all, the Prodrive P25 retains its spiritual predecessor’s econo-coupe bodywork and blistered special-stage fenders, altered slightly via a set of gray multispoke wheels, an open-element grille, and slightly sleeker bumper-mounted foglights. Clearly based on one of my first favorite cars, the Subaru Impreza 22B STI, the Prodrive P25 ditches the 276-horsepower, 2.2-liter flat-four in favor of a 2.5-liter boxer making more than 400 hp. Just because it’s been around awhile doesn’t mean I’m any less excited to see the Prodrive P25 roaring up the Goodwood hill climb. ![]() 2023 Goodwood Festival Of Speed: See The Livestream Of Day 1 Prodrive P25 ![]()
