The McLaren Senna: the ultimate road-legal track car

I take a closer look and highlight some of the extreme features of the new McLaren Senna before a walk around with Andy Palmer - Line Director of McLaren Ultimate Series.

The most extreme road car McLaren has ever built and the latest model in the McLaren Ultimate Series

Bears the name of legendary Formula 1 driver, Ayrton Senna, befitting its status as the ultimate McLaren track car

The most responsive and engaging road-legal McLaren ever, with the purest connection between driver and car

Aggressive appearance epitomises McLaren’s ‘form follows function’ design philosophy

Mid-engined, rear-wheel drive layout, with advanced RaceActive Chassis Control II (RCC II) suspension and Comfort, Sport, Track and Race handling modes

Active front and rear aerodynamics; up to 800kg of downforce
Driver-focused cockpit, with only essential instrumentation and ultra-light, one-piece carbon fibre racing seats

Carbon fibre Monocage III chassis and carbon body panels are integral in making the McLaren Senna the lightest road car McLaren has built since the iconic F1, at 1,198kg lightest dry weight

4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, the most powerful McLaren road car internal combustion engine ever, configured to deliver instantaneous throttle response

M840TR engine produces 800PS (789bhp) and 800Nm (590b ft), giving the McLaren Senna a power-to-weight ratio of 668PS-per-tonne (659bhp)

Savage performance: 0-200km/h (124mph) in just 6.8 seconds, with 0-100km/h (62mph) achieved in 2.8 seconds and 0-300km/h (186mph) in 17.5 seconds

Cockpit comes alive with the sound of air rushing into the roof-mounted ‘snorkel’ intake

Unique Inconel and titanium exhaust exits through ultra-low carbon fibre rear deck, enhancing aerodynamic performance

Motorsport-derived CCM-R braking system provide unprecedented stopping power: braking from 200km/h (124mph) to standstill in just 100 metres

Priced at £750,000 including taxes (UK)

Production limited to 500 units, all hand-assembled at the McLaren

Production Centre in Woking, Surrey, England, from Q3 2018

“You commit yourself to such a level where there is no compromise. You give everything you have; everything, absolutely everything.”
Ayrton Senna
