Have over $1 million laying around and want to get a street-legal racecar? The McLaren Senna might just be the road-melting hypercar for you. McLaren unveiled their latest supercar that has unbelievable performance and has a futuristic cockpit that would make a fighter pilot weak in the knees.
This rocket ship has to be fast because it is named after legendary three-time F1 champion Ayrton Senna. McLaren Senna says the Senna is “legalized for road use, but not sanitized to suit it.” The McLaren Senna boasts a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine with 789-horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque as well as a paddle-shifted seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. This extreme vehicle features a “Race Mode” with lower ride height and stiffer suspension settings. The Senna has an overhead Formula One-style periscope air intake for increased performance. This track-focused road car boasts Senna-specific Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires. McLaren hasn’t provided any performance statistics yet, but they are sure to not disappoint.
On the outside, two things are very noticeable including Senna’s two-element rear wing that is fully active. The wing constantly adjusting its angle to suit the situation to keep the downforce away when you don’t need it, but grab it when you do. The other odd feature on this supercar is that it has windows on the door. Not at the top half of the door, but a small window in the middle of the door. It also has an F1-style roof scoop on the top of the car for jetfighter-like aerodynamics. The interior is also full of carbon fiber and synthetic suede with limited interface because you’re driving a world-class car and you don’t need distractions.
There will only be 500 McLaren Sennas made, so better get money in your bank account because it will cost over $1 million. McLaren plans to officially debut the Senna at the Geneva motor show on March 18, 2018.
