The McLaren Senna is a high-performance supercar produced by the British car company McLaren Automotive. This vehicle was introduced in 2018 and is part of McLaren’s Ultimate Series, named after the legendary Brazilian Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna. The supercar is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that produces an impressive power of 800 PS (789 hp). The incredible performance, coupled with a weight of only 1,198 kg (2,641 lbs), allows the Senna to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 2.8 seconds.
The McLaren Senna was designed by the design team led by Rob Melville. The aerodynamic design of the vehicle includes numerous air intakes and a large rear wing for maximum downforce and stability at high speeds. An essential part of the construction is the Monocage III chassis, which is entirely made of carbon fiber. The vehicle uses advanced suspension with adaptive damping and a hydraulic anti-roll system, providing exceptional driving dynamics.
