Mika Häkkinen drives the McLaren Solus GT at the Goodwood Festival of Speed

Published: 14th July 2024. 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.

Lewis Hamilton's brand new McLaren P1 in Monaco!
  • Probably the highlight of my trip to Monaco was seeing F1 Driver Lewis Hamilton's brand new McLaren P1 finished in a stunning blue driving through Monaco for probably the first time! If it's a car that comes out as rarely as his Zonda it was an incredible experience to see it on the road as I will probably never see it again!

London Black Cab TX | Fully Charged
  • Published on 10 Feb 2018. Jonny Smith reviews the all new London Black Cab, the TX Electric Taxi from LEVC, on the coldest day of the year so far and takes it out for a proper test: sitting in traffic in rush hour London and then collecting a jet-lagged Robert Llewellyn from the airport. This is the first time that LEVC (formerly the London Taxi Company) has created the recognisable ‘black cab’ with electric propulsion. It comes with all sorts of high-end technology, improved safety features and a petrol range extender, allowing it to cover 80 miles on electric only or 400 miles when combined with the petrol range extender. Equally important, this new model seems like it could be a boon for taxi drivers, their wallets and their health, especially with inner-city clean air regulations becoming more important.
