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.

Incredible how a standard, already few years old, 720 leaves the Pista....even more incredible to wonder what the 765LT will be like.
At Mclaren Glasgow yesterday they had a P1 parked in the workshop with a Silver Senna parked right in front of it...amazing how elegant the P1 is in comparison...not often you will get the chance to see them in that close a proximity to compare.
2 very different cars in all aspects.
The fully silver Senna was the 1st one i thought was stunning...some of the chosen colours really don't help with the aesthetics...

Confirmed details:
700 spider, 700 coupe units
765 LT naming
no 600LT-Style upper exhausts
Source: Secured build
At least 201 too many in each variant i feel.700 spider, 700 coupe units

The 675LTs seem to of held on well to their values due to smaller numbers.
Seems like there are lots of 600LTs available...no idea of their build numbers as they havn't really interested me but around half a dozen for sale at my local McLaren dealer alone...you certainly wouldn't ever turn up to a Ferrari dealer and see 6 or more Pistas kicking about for sale.
Really looking forward to seeing what the 765LT can do though...

I agree with you, but you do realize that there are more GT3 RS on the market than normal GT3's, because Porsche didn't limit either the GT3 or the GT3 RS.
And then the 911R, which was dropped before the GT3 Touring pack.
I'm curious to see what Mclaren will do with the 765LT. The only reason I went for the car is the fact that it might simply just be almost as fast as the Senna, without looking as hideous.
When are McLaren planning on the launch for this?And then the 911R, which was dropped before the GT3 Touring pack.

Looking forward to specifications and pics.

Going by classifieds and the trickle of Sennas with very low or delivery miles that are appearing it maybe seems that owners of a Senna that have been allocated a 765LT may be offloading?Personally, i am more interested in the cars rather than the company owners, oil prices etc...i come on here to try and escape the current doom...
Really looking forward to a time when the dust settles and the likes of Chris Harris getting his hands on a 765LT, talking us through the details of the car and then wringing its neck on a track somewhere.

Ooh, those carbon vents don’t fit into the holes very well. Hope that’s a pre-prod car.
On that note, any chance owners of 675 and 600 LT models that have the wing vents can post up pictures of their vents?It seems a very rare, read into, expensive option.
I never got to view the 675 that i was very interested in as it sold ( or was removed from sale ) the week of lockdown.
It had almost every carbon box ticked and also had the wing vents...closest i could make out from pics was this...
I think AndrewD has wng vents on his 600Lts.
All pics appreciated as they seemed subtle on the 675, however, they seem to be getting less louvres but more profound on 600 and 765 models...

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.
