Last week at the Autosport International Show in Birmingham, England, members of the European Small Volume Manufacturers Alliance (ESCA) were present to represent the small volume manufacturing sector.
Having previously won the timed shootout at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the McLaren Automotive Ltd Solus GT was on show. Featuring a central, single-seat, closed-cockpit design with jet aircraft-style sliding canopy, and a motorsport-derived powertrain as a structural element, the 5.2-litre V10 Solus weighs less than 1000kg and can produce more than 1200kg of downforce.
Elsewhere, the Lotus Cars Europe Cortina was on display to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Jim Clark winning the British Touring Car Championship in the famous vehicle produced in the United Kingdom from 1963 to 1970.
