2018 McLaren Senna<\/strong>\nTSM - 430394 (resin)  <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Published 01\/25\/20<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The purpose of McLaren with the new Senna was only one: fast lap times. Conceived as a track day special, the car was largely based on the McLaren 720S. Which was a helluva lot of good car to begin with\u2026 The Senna is the third member of the McLaren Ultimate Series<\/em>. Like the previous F1<\/a> and P1<\/a>, these McLaren Ultimate Series\u2019 cars are the best the manufacturer can deliver in terms of performance. And yes, that means they\u2019re (just kind of<\/em>)  expensive: the list price for a Senna is \u00a3750,000\u2026 \ud83d\ude32<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senna is not only fast but has superb handling characteristics. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
For the new Senna, McLaren used a modified version of the 720S\u2019 carbon fiber monocoque and engine. But even though the 720S was a great car, performance and low weight had to be improved. So with that, the Senna became a very different car, specifically designed for the track. The new engine is McLaren\u2019s M840TR, a twin-turbo 3994 cm\u00b3 V8. With DOHC and 32 valves, it delivers 789 hp to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Since the car only weighs 1198 kg, it goes from 0 to 100 km\/h in 2.8 seconds and reaches 300 km\/h 14.7 seconds later. With 648 hp per ton, the top speed is 340 km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this angle I do see a little of the F1 in there…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Low weight was one of the top priorities of the design. For instance, each seat only weighs 3 kg! And just as low weight, superb aerodynamics was also a must. All the aerodynamic appendages are capable of delivering 800 kg of downforce. The Senna utilizes McLaren’s hydraulic \u201cRaceActive Chassis Control II\u201d suspension along with double-wishbone control arms. That means that consequently the car will always be glued to the road, allowing a fantastic handling at high speeds. And if you need to stop, you can rely on Brembo\u2019s newest generation of carbon-ceramic brakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A true carbon fiber fest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The Senna is one of those cars that exist just to prove that cars can be awesome. Not practical for anything other than to go fast on a race track – but not a race car. And at the same time, a car that will produce awe on your way to the track (it\u2019s street legal). Thus, a true hypercar, and rendered beautifully in scale by TSM. My model is in \u201cVictory Grey\u201d<\/a>, one of the few factory colors for the car. Overall detail is nothing but superb, so it\u2019s a model that stands out. Not a model that will uniformly please, but a real looker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
