The first thought that will come to your mind the moment you see Mclaren Senna is - Is that car Street Legal? The Senna looks nothing but a car straight from the race-track carrying all its equipments and making the other cars on road nervous . Mclaren has achieved greater heights by making this car in terms of looks and powerhouse that pulls this beast like a rocket with a distinctive loud engine and exhaust note.
Design:
The front of the Senna is familiar carrying Mclaren DNA .The headlamp cluster with LED lightning system looks like as if car is looking at you giving you a cheeky look and challenging you to get inside and test the limits of yours. The sharp LED DRLs strip running below the headlamp adds character to the car. Being a track-focussed road car , Senna has got aerodynamic linings all over its body. Starting from the grille which is rectangular in shape with massive air-intake by side. The bonnet gets linings with saperate the headlamp cluster of the car and runs all the way from windshield to the end of the front bumper. Talking about the bumper it is truely a state of the art engineering work , blending seemlessly to the body carrying all the space needed to flow the upcoming storm from the front the moment you press the padle to the metal.
Talking about side profile the Senna gets massive tyres with alloy wheels looking like turbine wheels. The coloured brake calippers adds visual to the car both when the Senna is stationery or giving the thrilling experience to the driver. The cabin looks tiny from outside considering the length of this car and the blacked out roof adds sporty touch to the car.
Looking at the back of Senna is when the people questions about its road legal norms . Infact, the design part of Senna should always start from the back. Nevermind, straight lets just talk about that massive spoiler which gets curves and is positioned a bit higher than we are used to see the spoilers in the normal sports cars. Ofcourse, Senna is not normal , people who have made Senna are not normal they are artists. The spoiler even gets the body coloured paint touch on the sides. Another, talking point are those neatly designed LED tailamp units which looks quite subtle but the way this car carries all the drama they are not something to complain about.
Engine:
The Mclaren Senna is powered by a 4.0 litre twin-turbocharges V8 , the most powerful internal combustion engine ever produce by the Mclaren. This engine produces 800PS of power and 800 Nm of torque .
The power figures are staggering and so are the ways how Mclaren has put down the weight and improved the overall aerodynamics of this car. 800Kg of downforce will be produced and the weight of the car is only 1200 kg the lightest Mclaren since the F1 says the carmaker.
With all these efforts having made, the Senna can achieve the fastes lap times of any Mclaren road car . The Senna can go from 0 to 124mph(0-200)km/h in just 6.8 seconds and the top speed of the car is 208mph(335km/h). To make this powerful beast come to a hault after attaining this much speed , Next-gen carbon ceramic brakes are given a duty .
