The McLaren Senna left one driver gasping for air
McLaren is known for producing track-ready superfast cars, with the Senna being a highly sought-after option for car enthusiasts.
One content creator took matters into her own hands to see if the high-horsepower car was really worth it.
Creator laurabtlrr shared footage online as she got behind the wheel of the Senna and was left speechless.
“The McLaren Senna is the quirkiest car ever,” detailed the car creator as she toured around the vehicle.
From the doors to the seats, she showed all the flashy elements in all their glory, plus she also revealed the car could even reportedly produce a whopping 1,700hp.
Although it should be noted that, according to the official McLaren stats, the car is capable of producing 789hp.
“When you start the car, enjoy the show,” she said as she took to the road in the bright blue McLaren Senna.
Car enthusiasts reacted to her mind-blowing experience
After watching the content creator get behind the wheel of the McLaren powerhouse, gearheads couldn’t help but share their thoughts.
“Intake and turbo noises living in the cabin rent free,” said one user.
“This car is so underrated,” said another user.
“For it to be named after Senna I know this thing probably feels like a dream,” commented a third user.
The car is clearly universally loved, but don’t just take our word for it.
For instance, one edition was airlifted 57 stories to be used as an ornament by one owner in an epic display.
Plus, when our very own Alex Hirschi, AKA Supercar Blondie, drove the Senna, she managed to find a secret compartment that you’d never suspect was there.
