I took the Senna on the track where it belongs last week at Spa .... what a circuit as you know . Lovely clear day with no rain and well organised by McLaren, at a price though . I can only reconfirm all that has been said about it before - incredibly fast, stable, and planted - the downforce story is real. The brakes are incredible and I found myself breaking too early for the first few laps and then too late . It really is as near to a race car as a road car gets. I also took a 600LT out at the end of the day - back to reality - just reinforces how good the Senna was. BTW when other Sennas past me they sounded awesome - so much for the McLaren has no soul mantra. Here is an iPhone photo and links to some much better ones. The spec is inspired by Ayrton Senna's helmet - very dark blue (exact match and then metallicized) /yellow/green accents.

The only McLaren I would honestly love to own and drive. Congrats again.

Very nice! But that shot of Eau Rouge really flattens the perspective (the elevation in reality looks like a mountain from inside the windscreen )

Yes - I thought that too. Less of a mountain at Senna speeds though .
Yeah, maybe just a ripple in the tarmac?

I hesitate to post as this thread is awesome great pics amazing Senna, I've had the pleasure of seeing one in the flesh and they are an incredible car I really love them but without meaning to be churlish and this is not reserved for the Senna.... but I really do not like the silver aluminium wheel look particularly on dark cars.
I know the "trend" has purportedly changed away from the gangsta black wheel look but I think I am stuck in the past as I still prefer dark wheels in most circumstances and to my eyes the sliver look is dated and not a good look. I know noone asked
