A YouTuber has just pulled back a car cover in a Miami junkyard to reveal a $1.5 million McLaren Senna hypercar.
YouTuber Tavarish said someone tipped him off about there being a hypercar in a north Miami junkyard, but he wasn’t given any more information.
So, he raced out there to see what he could find.
Unfortunately, the $1.5 million hypercar was in a less-than-ideal condition, but according to Tavarish, it was most definitely salvageable.

Tavarish, whose real name is Freddy Hernandez, told his followers he was on a mission to find the mystery hypercar as he walked through the junkyard.
“A little birdie told me that there is a hypercar somewhere in this yard,” he said in the video.
“I don’t know what I’m in for.”
Rows of damaged supercars
But walking through rows of partly-damaged supercars, it didn’t take long for Tavarish to get distracted.
“This is so cool, we’ve got a Lambo Huracan that’s completely pink with a crazy body kit, then we have a Ferrari California and then we have a Bentley Bentayga that doesn’t look like it has any damage at all,” he said.
“And back there we have something really cool, a Maserati MC20.”
But his focus shifted when he saw something much more exciting at the back of the yard.
“I don’t know what damage there is under there but four tires are still on it so it can’t be that bad,” he said.
And like a kid on Christmas morning, Tavarish lifted the cover to reveal the $1.5 million McLaren Senna.

“Dude, look at this thing, oh my God, so if you don’t know about the Senna, this is a complete carbon fiber tub,” he said.
As Tavarish assessed the damage of the car, he noted it likely got hit on the front right corner.
“The wheel definitely got pushed back into the body here and into the tub, oh no,” he said.
Despite how bad it looked, he believed it was fixable.
But to fix it, he estimated it would cost around $150,000 to $200,000 ‘because all the Senna parts are super super exclusive”.
He also estimated the damaged hypercar would go for between $500,000 and $600,000 at auction.
And that was money he said he didn’t have.
Hopefully whoever does buy it plans to restore it to its former glory (and documents the process for us to watch on YouTube).
But for now, you can watch Tavarish uncover the Senna here.
