Mclaren Senna - Discover One Of The Best Supercars In The World

The McLaren Senna is a limited-production mid-engined sports car manufactured by McLaren Automotive. The car is the newest addition in the McLaren Ultimate Series, joining the F1 and the P1; however, it is not a direct successor to either cars. The Senna was revealed online by the company on December 10, 2017, with the official reveal taking place at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

Production would be limited to 500 units, with each car hand-built at the McLaren Production Centre in Woking, Surrey, England.

The car is named after Brazilian racing late driver Ayrton Senna, honouring and giving tribute to his success with the McLaren Formula One team between 1988 and 1993. Senna won three World Drivers' Championship titles and thirty-five Grands Prix with the team; McLaren also won four consecutive World Constructors' Championship titles with Senna as part of their driver line-up.

McLaren's main focus while designing the Senna was to achieve faster lap times. In order to do so, McLaren developed a lightweight design that incorporated aerodynamic elements.

The Senna is largely based on the McLaren 720S, using a modified version of its carbon fibre monocoque and twin-turbocharged engine. The Senna is powered by a modified version of the 720S' 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine dubbed the M840TR.

It uses a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that delivers all 800 PS (588 kW; 789 hp) and 590 lb⋅ft (800 N⋅m) to the rear wheels.

Unlike the previous offering in the Ultimate Series, the P1, the Senna does not use an electric motor in favour of its low dry weight of 1,198 kg (2,641 lb), which allows for a power-to-weight ratio of 658 hp per ton.
