Ayrton Senna's first F1 win was notable for a lot of reasons - livery included...
For any Formula 1 driver, their first win in the sport is going to be a momentous occasion. It represents decades of hard work, ambition and sacrifice to prove yourself at the very top of motorsport. However, in most cases, only the most dedicated fans of the driver in question will remember their maiden victory. Other than for the man on the top step of the podium, they’re often just regular GPs.
All of this meant that, when McLaren named a 500-unit Ultimate Series model after Senna, at least one person was guaranteed. It was just too good a throwback to avoid. Helps that black and gold works very nicely as a colour combination, of course. And this is the car, or at least the only one we know of, an MSO special that pays homage to Ayrton Senna’s Lotus F1 winner.
As befits a car of the Senna’s status, however, this is no mere paint job, as almost £100,000 was spent on optional extras back in 2019.
Encouragingly, this 800hp McLaren track car has been put to use over the past few years. We say ‘encouragingly’ because if ever there was a hypercar to properly appreciate from behind the wheel rather than in the garage, the Senna is it. Time will have done nothing to make it any less absorbing or exhilarating to drive, but by the same token the look hasn’t lost any impact either. The Senna really is a car like no other.
The advantage of a few miles under the stunning gold wheels is a bit of money to be saved. This is all relative, of course, because not many of us have hundreds of thousands for a new track day car. But despite the option added when new,is £60k less than any other for sale right now. Most others are another £100,000 on top of this car’s £699,995 asking price. And that’ll pay for a lot of track time in all conditions to get working on your best Senna impression.
