The key with the Senna will be the driving experience.
Admittedly, most of the people who take delivery will never get anywhere near the performance potential, but that applies to pretty much every performance car sold.
If the feedback from respected journalists and drivers who are allowed to properly wring the neck of the thing is that it's performance positives exceeds its aesthetic negatives it will be a PR success for McLaren. Given the claims with regard to the grip levels being generated, it's all looking very promising.
Yep, so supercars have effectively gone the same way as high end art!Admittedly, most of the people who take delivery will never get anywhere near the performance potential, but that applies to pretty much every performance car sold.

The purchaser gets the majority of satisfaction of ownership from the knowledge that they spent a great deal of money and that critics and other tastemakers agree that the object is worthy of adulation.
What I don't understand is we're getting a range of conflicting comments from those who dislike it....
"too compromised as a track car....people buying this should buy a track car instead"
and then we have
"people buying it can't use the full potential, so it's pointless"
Does that make a track car pointless, too?
"too compromised as a track car....people buying this should buy a track car instead"
and then we have
"people buying it can't use the full potential, so it's pointless"
Does that make a track car pointless, too?

Yep, all that plus why have the Senna when they can have the Valkyrie, the Project One or whatever... owners even further away from the full potential and pointless. Contradictions used to justify their own arguments."too compromised as a track car....people buying this should buy a track car instead"

Person spends lots of money on a car I don’t like... No problem. So a few people cancel because they don’t like the look. One cancelled because decided it would be too costly to repair for Ring track work, bottoming out etc... just means other people who thought they lost out can now get one.
What people are saying is basically they don’t like the car, the look etc and if they had the money they’d by something else. Well that’s happens everyday. Getting worked up about someone else buying a car they wouldn’t makes no sense to me.

Moderators may as well close this forum down and just print articles , differing opinions are apparently out of bounds 
If you're referring to my comment, your reply doesn't stand ground IMO. I'm not saying people can't have an opinion, but when someone says "it's too quick for the buyer, and it's too compromised as a track car to be properly quick and they should buy a track car instead" that is totally contradictory and daft.

I’m afraid that is none of your business.But you certainly shouldn’t presume it’s beyond the realms of possibility.
A lot of people in the industry post on here.

Having now seen one in person, I must say the proportions are a lot nicer than they look in photos. Far from being drop dead gorgeous, but it really does look awesome in person.
Pistonheaders in jumping to angry conclusions before actually seeing a car in the metal shocker.Once you lived through the knicker wetting tantrums of the E60 5 series, then watched the haters buy them you can predict the same reaction on every new car thread.
