Design and Features

Every unit is fitted with a carbon fiber Monocage III chassis and exposed carbon fiber elements, contributing to its aggressive, road-legal race car aesthetic.

Driving Experience

The Senna is designed to blur the lines between a road-legal car and a full-blooded race car. It provides an incredibly visceral, unfiltered, and stiff driving experience, making it highly rewarding on a circuit but often demanding and loud on regular roads.
