Super Car McLaren Senna is a True Work of Art
As we have come to expect from the British automaker McLaren, the new supercar Senna has continued to push the boundaries of engineering, performance, and stylistic excellence. The team behind this mechanical masterpiece sought to create the greatest McLaren track-concentrated car that is also legal for ordinary road use. Looking at the testing performance of this young model, it seems there can be no doubts that the team was successful.
McLaren specifically cited their commitment to creating “the purest connection between the driver and car of any road-legal McLaren.” Throughout the design process, the team worked diligently to continue pushing their standards of excellence and refused to compromise on anything other than the limitations set forth by the law. With production limited to 500 units, it has become clear that this unique work of art will be valuable and memorable for many years to come.
Ideal Performance
The engineering team at McLaren worked diligently to develop a road car that does not compromise on handling, speed, or acceleration. At just over 2,600 pounds (1,200 kg), the Senna is actually the lightest McLaren of this millennium (since the F1 in 1998).
Named after legendary racer Ayrton Senna, the new pride of McLaren’s fleet features a 4.0 liter twin turbocharged V8 engine which has been recognized as “the most powerful McLaren road car internal combustion engine ever.” With nearly 800 bhp (789), this brilliant masterpiece is a clear demonstration of McLaren’s relentless commitment to creating a vehicle in which “form follows function.”
The power-to-weight ratio of 659bhp per ton makes the Senna one of the highest performing vehicles you will ever encounter on a public road. The vehicle boasts a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time of only 2.8 seconds along with an impressive top speed of 211 mph. It appears that seemingly nothing was sacrificed in the making of this fine vehicle and as you watch her handle turns and change gears with grace, it becomes clear why McLaren has earned the reputation of being one of the top automakers in the entire world.
