Senna, with McLaren, continues to win after 25 years
The McLaren Senna is a legendary car named after a famous driver, and all 500 units were sold before its official presentation.
What a legend! The 500 examples of the McLaren Senna were all purchased before the official presentation at a price of 750,000 pounds and the last one, at the auction for the Senna Foundation, went for two million. The magical name of a driver capable of exalting fans for his courage and forthrightness, and one who left a bitter feeling of despair in those who saw him crash into the barriers at the Imola racetrack on 1st May 1994 is not the only gift of this car.
The carbon fiber body panels of the McLaren Senna, despite the immense structural rigidity necessary to support the aerodynamic forces they are subjected to at high speeds on a track, they are incredibly robust and light, weighing less than 60 kg
The all-carbon body which contributes to a claimed dry weight of just 1,198 kg, aerodynamic elements with precise Formula 1 origins such as the active aerodynamic appendages that can be raised or lowered according to the DRS principle in order to achieve maximum speed or greater braking power are all ingredients of a heady mix of emotions.
