The carbon fiber chassis of the Senna is derived from the 720S, but has been refined to the extent of being McLaren's strongest road car chassis.
That meant throwing out practicality - the likes of which the McLaren 720S Coupe are built for by comparison - crafting a new roll over structure that leaves only enough room for "two helmets, two driving suits and possibly a packet of sandwiches" according to Andy Palmer. Built through McLaren's Ultimate Series, the same series that spawned the McLaren P1, Andy Palmer oversaw the Senna’s engineering and design team for its two year development.ĭuring its development, being formally known as the McLaren P15, the Senna was set with an immense mission statement of being everything that the McLaren P1 fell short of "the purest connection yet between driver and car of any road-legal McLaren". The McLaren Senna was first revealed online to the world on Decembefore being officially shown at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.
It is named after Ayrton Senna, paying tribute and honor to his successes between the 19 Formula 1 seasons as part of the McLaren Formula One Team, of which he won three Driver's Championship titles, thirty-five Grand Prix race wins, and four consecutive Constructor's Championship titles under McLaren's driver line-up.
