One of the only 500 McLaren Sennas ever made is located in Greece!

The model is named after F1 legend Ayrton Senna, and now one of the rare cars now has a Greek owner. News Auto spotted the car at Eleftherios Venizelos Airport.

Despite the protections for air transport, the images show the silhouette of the McLaren Senna. This proves that people in our country love a real supercar of great value.

Each McLaren Senna took 1,000 hours to create, and only 500 were produced, all of which have been sold with a portion of the cars’ price going to the Senna Foundation in Brazil. Its price in Britain was set at 855,000 euros (approx.).

The last of its production was recently auctioned, amounting to 2,200,000 euros.

The McLaren Senna applies additional elements that guarantee absolute grip on the track, such as the active wings on the intakes, the perimeter spoilers, and the massive rear spoiler with the active wing.

Now under the body, the flagship of the McLaren has a carbon frame, an advanced version of the 720S platform, which helps keep its weight very low, at 1,198 kg.

The suspension is an advanced version of the McL Senna P1, with hydraulic shock absorbers and anti-roll bars.

Four different driving modes (Comfort, Sport, Track and, for the first time, the new Race) reduce the distance from the ground, significantly stiffens the suspension and is suitable for racing performance on the track.

Special mention should also be made of the brakes, which according to the English company, are the most advanced they have ever equipped their car, using carbon ceramic discs with racing technology.

The tires have also been developed specifically for the Senna and are the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R for track use, but they are also road approved.

In the engine, the familiar 4-litre V8 biturbo of the McLaren 720s has increased its power output to 789 hp and torque to 800 Nm. It is combined with a 7-speed automatic double-clutch transmission, which sends all the above power and torque to the car’s rear wheels.

Finishing with the cabin, there is a rather minimalistic design in the standards of racing constructions. The materials used are exclusively carbon fibre.

We distinguish the small opening of the side windows with a fixed large part of them, the carbon thin seats that will be of a unique design for each of the 500 Senna that will be built, and also the thin screen in front of the driver instead of an instrument panel.

On the other hand, for tech lovers, McLaren has placed a high-definition screen in the centre of the console that houses all the features of the multimedia system.

According to News Auto, the hypercar is already resting in the large parking lot of the Lentoudi shipbuilding family. Specifically, Kritons Lentoudis has a collection of approximately 60 cars whose value exceeds 15 to 20 million euros.

Among these cars he owns is the luxurious Mercedes 300 D that Pope Paul used on his tours around the world and one of Michael Schumacher’s cars.
