The remarkable sports car, the McLaren Senna, in its exclusive Gulf Racing livery, is about to be auctioned off. It’s estimated that the new owner of this special edition supercar will need to invest a substantial sum, approximately $1.25 million.
The McLaren Senna made its debut in 2019 at the Geneva Motor Show, and all 500 meticulously handcrafted sports cars named after the legendary Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna from Brazil were sold out even before deliveries began.
In the middle of next month, one of these rare gems will be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s in Arizona, USA. The uniqueness of this two-seater McLaren (with only 309 km on the odometer) lies in its “military-inspired†livery, reminiscent of the colors that adorned the McLaren F1 GTR race car in 1997. In that year, the F1 GTR secured a second-place finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, making it a remarkable historical reference.
Distinctive Gulf Racing Livery
The unmistakable Gulf Racing livery adds to the car’s allure. This McLaren Senna also comes with various optional features, including a Bowers & Wilkins sound system, air conditioning, parking sensors, Alcantara gearbox, and 19/20-inch wheels. These features make it one of the most lavishly equipped vehicles across all production models.
Performance and Power
The McLaren Senna is equipped with a centrally placed 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, delivering a potent 800 horsepower and a peak torque of 800 Nm. Power is seamlessly transmitted to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, boasting a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 340 km/h.
Conclusion
As this Gulf Racing McLaren Senna heads to auction, it carries the legacy of the iconic Ayrton Senna and the striking aesthetics of the Gulf Racing livery. With its top-tier features and breathtaking performance, this limited edition supercar is set to captivate the discerning collector willing to acquire a piece of automotive excellence.
