You can't help but wonder how where this leaves the Senna with its very challenging looks and very high price tag.
Any comparisons between the 720s and Senna so far show the Senna to be a step forward on the track but a step backward on the road.
It seems like this would close that gap on the track and therefore reduce the reasons to go for a Senna, save maybe £400k and get something far easier on the eye.
The achilles heel for the P1 is the batteries; also, it is 'old hat' for the 'must have the latest' consumer.
However it is still a stunning, stunning car.
The achilles heel for the Senna is the looks, and, unfortunately now, the impending 765LT.
I can't think of a 'however' for the Senna.
The new car is going to be immense and a huge thumbs up for anyone whom has managed to secure a build.
The post i made to start this thread ages ago seems more relevant than ever now that the 765 has been launched and even more quicker than most would of anticipated.Any comparisons between the 720s and Senna so far show the Senna to be a step forward on the track but a step backward on the road.

Brookes 'drag times' clip of the 765 positively demolishing the senna on the drag strip makes you wonder if it shall match or beat the Senna on a track making up on the straights where Senna may be better on corners.
The 'collecting cars' Senna shall show what the current market demand and pricing is for a Senna.

Watched the 765 destroy the senna last night I can’t see the senna been faster round a track Brookes 'drag times' clip of the 765 positively demolishing the senna on the drag strip makes you wonder if it shall match or beat the Senna on a track making up on the straights where Senna may be better on corners.

Wordwide numbers are largely irrelevant to the UK market.
E.g. only 140 991.2 GT2 RS in the UK.
Fair Porsche does seem to throttle supply in the UK. Performante was 400 (exc anything 2020 built), Pista 260 (same comment and I think they carried on into this year)E.g. only 140 991.2 GT2 RS in the UK.
According to DVLA there are 500 Pista’s in the UK !

Interesting contrast there are only c1200 458s in the UK.

For anyone interested the 765LT took on the SF90 on DragTimes channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI_m93gzoP4
The only thing I didn't understand is why they launched from the non-grippy side of the drag strip?

Wow the SF90 is quick! The only thing I didn't understand is why they launched from the non-grippy side of the drag strip?
It's a shame it looks like such a pig.
Of course the 765LT is not about drag racing.
FWIW my 2017 Model S daily driver will do the same as the SF90 for the first 5 secs or so, and I’ve ordered a Plaid to replace it - which should leave the SF90 in the dirt.
But neither will replace the joys of my old 650 s, or even my V12V on a drivers road...
