RE: McLaren Senna GTR - first specs!
Discussion
I would like to read/hear how the designers came up with this finish, and wonder if there are any special bits to help rich but perhaps not born racers limit possible track accidents.
There are plenty of customers out there for these cars with $ £ and other currency, well, maybe the rouble is not accepted,. but McLaren are doing the right thing to help them spend it, plus most of the funds go McLaren UK. It can only be a good thing. Even if the looks divide opinion.

No thanks, I'm going to wait for the Senna GTR Longtail.
But then again...why get that? Why not just wait for the Senna GTR Longtail Carbon MSO Edition?
Etc, etc, etc.
Not just McLaren who do this..but Lamborghini and Ferrari are experts too. But then again...why get that? Why not just wait for the Senna GTR Longtail Carbon MSO Edition?

I’m sure they’ll sell all of them. We should be applauding McLaren they are a British success, and this is Pistonheads not Mumsnet.
Surely it’s their job to develop and sell their products, what are they expected to wait 5 years and then bring out a new one?
So because we all love cars, oh, and they’re from Britain, we all have to praise every thing they bring out? Hmmm.Surely it’s their job to develop and sell their products, what are they expected to wait 5 years and then bring out a new one?
It looks odd as a road car, even worse as a track only car! Sometimes you have to call a turd, a turd, no matter how much sparkly stuff it has stuck to it.

I agree that we should all applaud McLaren's success but I'd argue it's precisely because we are all passionate about cars and or driving and or racing that this constant stream of sold out, vajazzled trinkets for the ultra rich to keep in storage is getting, well, rather boring. For all the marketing McLaren still haven't produced any lap times; everything else is just marketing guff.Surely it’s their job to develop and sell their products, what are they expected to wait 5 years and then bring out a new one?
I just laughed when I saw this for all the reasons given above! Some very funny comments btw! I love McLaren but I am getting a bit bored of the same basic car being shovelled out in slightly different formats depending on the day of the week.
Porsche would never let this happen with the 911

Isn't this the car the Senna should have been from the outset? I thought the brief from Senna was the ultimate expression of what McLaren knew about race cars? It does dilute the series a little if we now get this GTR version. Nothing worse than when a manufacturer launches a car and then seemingly keeps tweaks/improvements back so they can then launch an x-rated version 6-months later.
They would have done better by launching the car and offering owners the chance to upgrade their existing car if the engineers found developments later in the model life. Would make each owner feel like they were part of a special factory development programme that way improving residuals and retaining exclusivity.
