Named after the late Ayrton Senna and dedicated to his three Formula 1 World Championships with McLaren between 1988 and 1993, the car was designed with one single purpose in mind: to be the most track- focused road car McLaren had ever built. It’s ‘raison d’etre’ was to provide the purest connection between car and driver in the pursuit of the quickest lap times. In contrast to the P1, the Senna’s powertrain forwent any form of electric assistance and instead used a modified version of the company’s 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V-8 engine. Codenamed M840TR, it’s the most powerful engine ever installed in a McLaren road car, with a peak output of 789 bhp. It features dry-sump lubrication, lightweight rotating parts and a pair of ultra-low inertia twin-scroll turbochargers equipped with electronic wastegates for instant throttle response. It breathes through a bespoke carbon-fibre intake plenum, which is fed cold air from the motorsport-inspired roof-mounted snorkel. Despite the substantial power on offer, where the Senna really works its magic is with its chassis and its active aerodynamics, the latter unparalleled on any other road car. The front of the car is dominated by a massive raised splitter and large air intakes, which feature active ‘winglets’ to guide air either underneath the body, for aerodynamic downforce, or through the radiators and oil coolers when required. Warm air from the radiators is then channelled from behind the bonnet and over the roof of the car, deliberately missing the snorkel intake before being harnessed by the enormous active rear wing. The wing itself is controlled by hydraulics and moves constantly, either to act as an airbrake, increase downforce, or equally trim drag as part of an active Drag Reduction System (DRS). It is complemented at the rear by a large double diffuser and second fixed lower wing, which are fed exhausted air from 2019 McLaren Senna LOT 230 More Details Lot 230 Bid On Lot 230 Estimate: $1,550,000 - $1,750,000
