Apparently, McLaren still had 23 GTR chassis and decided to use them to build two special editions of Senna. 20 of them will be Senna LMs, complemented by a new model called Senna Can-Am, which is limited to just three. Our source ordered one and sent us all the juicy details. P1 gtr is a car that appears to be destined for racing in the GTE Pro (or LMP2) class, while Senna GTR looks like a mountain monster. Like the Senna LM, the McLaren Senna Can-Am will be a homologated version of the GTR. It is built as a tribute to McLaren`s successful Can-Am race cars that competed in the late `60s and `70s. In particular, the Senna Can-Am is inspired by Bruce McLaren`s McLaren M8B, which dominated the Canadian American Challenge Cup in 1969 and won all 11 races that year. McLaren, particularly its Special Operations division, presented a demonstration on March 17. In September 2020, the McLaren Senna GTR LM officially launched the legal iteration of the Senna GTR, which is only valid for track day. It should not be confused with the standard McLaren Senna LM. Only five examples were produced, and each has a unique livery that reflects the five McLaren F1 GTRs at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. All were sold: two to a customer in the US, two to a customer in Spain and one to a customer in the UK.
The cars were built to celebrate the 25th anniversary of McLaren`s victory at Le Mans. They are equipped with OZ Racing wheels and have the same body as the Senna GTR. Power was increased to 833 hp (621 kW; 845 hp), more than any other Senna variant to date. The power is 20 hp more than a base Senna GTR. The Redline is also increased from 8250 rpm to 9000 rpm. [29] Senna – yes, let`s put 800hp and a huge wing in a car with 245 front tyres that understeers everywhere and makes people spend £/€/$1M on the “fastest road car/race” Senna GTR legal road: A useless display of wealth. The McLaren Senna is McLaren`s hardcore road car, but the upcoming new variants of the special edition will take it to new extremes. Earlier this month, leaked renders and a spy photo revealed that McLaren was developing a new limited-edition model called Senna LM, which will essentially be a legal version of the Senna GTR track.
Thanks to an anonymous tip sent by a reader, we can confirm that this is not the only new version of the Senna coming soon. The McLaren Senna LM is a special version offered as a tribute to the McLaren F1 LM. The LM stands for Le Mans, the original LM was a road-legal version of the F1 GTR, specially developed in honour of the five legendary McLaren F1 GTRs that competed in the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Senna LM, on the other hand, is a road-legal version of the Senna GTR, in fact McLaren 3 will create additional special fairings based on the Senna GTR, they will be known as the Senna Can-AM. The McLaren Senna LM is a variant of the Senna produced by McLaren Special Operations and Lanzante Motorsport. The body remains the same as the standard Senna, but has components from the Senna GTR. The unique orange livery pays homage to the McLaren F1 LM, which itself was inspired to celebrate the F1 GTR`s victory that won Le Mans in 1995. The Senna LM also features polished connectors and cylinder heads, retro-designed OZ Center Lock wheels, satin-plated gold-plated quad exhausts, louvers on the front fenders, clear fairing removal in the doors of the standard Senna, titanium trim and LM branding. The power output of the 4-litre twin-turbo V8 now reaches 825 hp (607 kW; 814 hp), which corresponds to the Senna GTR.
[26] Only 35 units were produced, of which 5 for the US market and 7 for right-hand drive. [27] The 5 American Senna LMs were delivered to the same person, a VIP customer in Florida. This person still owns 3 of the 5 American Senna LMs, the other two being sold to other collectors. One of these models was destroyed in a traffic accident in 2020 by former Formula 1 driver Adrian Sutil. [28] Senna GTR – “Damn, I realised it`s pointless to have a Senna GTR because I never go out on the track. Let`s make this legal on the street. At the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, McLaren unveiled the concept version of the race track iteration of the Senna, called the Senna GTR.
