first of two cars in the 'Ultimate series'; this is the track-focused one with another 3-seater GT to be announced next year. Both will tide us over until the P1 successor in 2023+

wonder if it originally had a Honda motor but had to cut it because it was unreliable

availability. Even if you have the £750,000 (over $1 million USD) that McLaren demands for a Senna, you will not get one if you have not already been contacted by the Woking-based company.

Derived in part from the sublime 720S, the Senna is described by McLaren as having the stiffest monocoque of any of the company's road-legal vehicles, whilst also being among the lightest, at 2,641 pounds (1,198 kilograms) sans driver and fluids.

The 4.0 liter, dry-sump M840TR V-8 engine cranks out 789 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque with the aid of two twin-scroll turbochargers, making it the single punchiest internal combustion engine ever offered in a McLaren road car. Combining it with such a light chassis results in a power to weight ratio of 598 horsepower per ton, a single horse shy of the hybridized Ferrari LaFerrari.

Definitely function over form on this one.

Does this thing have windshield wipers or does it use that ultra sonic sound technology through the glass to get rid of rain.

Serious, that is tech I really, really wish that every freakin' car had. Aero is cool, horsepower is cool, but I'm sure 99% of the population can't have one, myself included. So power and aero don't really concern me. But that windshield tech is something that I truly wanted in an every day car, no more streaks and shit. That "sound force field" blew my mind and feels like it is the era Star Trek or some shit.

First mod would be to get rid of that transparent door. :ifyouknow:

looks like McLaren has deep ties with the Senna Institute


The indomitable spirit of Ayrton Senna has always been alive at McLaren and the car that bears his name will further amplify his link to the McLaren brand, and his global legacy. The right to use the Senna name is part of an official collaboration between McLaren Automotive and the Senna family, in which a significant contribution will be donated to the Instituto Ayrton Senna (IAS), a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing good-quality education for more than 1.6 million unprivileged children and youngsters in Brazil. The IAS is presided over by Viviane Senna, sister of Ayrton and mother of racing driver and McLaren ambassador Bruno Senna.

Envisioned by Ayrton Senna before his untimely death, the charitable work of the IAS is a remarkable legacy for the McLaren legend. On the racetrack, Ayrton Senna was one of the greatest drivers of all time, but thanks to the IAS, his off-track achievements are arguably even greater. McLaren is immensely proud to support the Instituto Ayrton Senna, and to honour Ayrton Senna’s legacy at the highest level of motorsport with our most track-focused road car ever.
