The driver screen displays key data in simple forms and includes a row of gearshift LEDs along the top edge and additional LEDs that count down the closing distance of cars behind via the anti-collision radar system. The folding instrument cluster and steering wheel from the road car have been replaced by race-spec units. Note: standard McLaren Senna pictured here.
MCLAREN GTR DRIVERS
The air-conditioning system has been retained so that drivers will feel comfortable in all track environments. However, McLaren added track equipment like pneumatic air jacks, pit radio, a fire extinguishing system, and a data logger. The Brits are removed features that would be useless and add unnecessary weight to a track-only car, such as the touch screen, the audio system, and the airbags. The outlets now emerge from the rear deck under the wing, which saves weight and keeps things simple engineering-wise. That latter had side-exiting pipes in the side skirts, but McLaren decided to abandon the visual appeal of them in favor of a simpler and much more efficient setup, just like in the road car. The exhaust system is similar to the regular Senna, which is an important change from the concept car. It's not what I'd call a good-looking rear end, but it's definitely effective given the enormous amount of downforce it can generate. Overall, it seems as if the rear fascia was pushed back into a big aero device that includes both the wing and the diffuser, as well as parts of the rear fenders. This allows the wing to be coupled with the diffuser, which is smaller than the Senna's, but much more effective. The wing was pushed backward, so it now sits outside of the car's footprint. Not only bigger and wider than the Senna's, but it also extends around the rear fenders, just like on LMP1 prototype race cars. That's mostly because McLaren built a massive wing for this car. Move toward the back, and the Senna GTR starts to look very different compared to both the road-legal Senna and the GTR concept. This was possible because the Senna GTR will only compete in private events. The center-lock wheels measure 19 inches and they are an inch bigger than the FIA's GT3-spec standard.
MCLAREN GTR WINDOWS
Not only similar to those of authentic race cars, the windows and the windshield are also made from polycarbonate for weight-saving purposes. It's here where you'll also notice the race-spec side windows with sliding ticket openings. The new vents in the front fenders and the additional winglets with "GTR" lettering are further proof that this car is not a regular Senna. Moving onto the sides we can see more aggressive side skirts under the door and larger vents on the rear fenders.
Both ensure stable airflow under the car for enhanced downforce. The vents under the headlamps have a slightly different shape now, but McLaren also added new dive planes and vortex generators at the corners.
Now featuring a raised center section, it feeds more air under the car and toward the rear diffuser. Up front, the new splitter is the first element that catches the eye. While the concept car was a slightly more aggressive version of the road-going Senna, the production GTR model boasts notable revisions o the outside. If you’re interested, I should let you know that all of the cars were allocated within weeks of the order book opening, which happened shortly after the unveiling of the Senna GTR Concept at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.- Heavily based on Senna- Bigger splitter- Modified wing- New rear diffuser- More extreme aerodynamics- Carbon-fiber body- 2,205 pounds of downforce!
MCLAREN GTR PLUS
McLaren has priced the track car at £1.1 million plus taxes, equating to roughly $1.43 million USD. Only 75 examples of the new McLaren Senna GTR will be created, with deliveries starting in September 2019. “The McLaren Senna GTR is a perfect example of our determination to bring our customers the Ultimate expression of track driving performance and excitement,” says Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive. Without restraints, they created a car that’s faster, lighter and more powerful than the Senna. With a lightest dry weight of just 2,619 lbs, the Senna GTR comes with a solid power-to-weight ratio.īecause the Senna GTR is a track car, McLaren didn’t have to worry about all of the road regulations like they did when designing the Senna. Its power comes from a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces a staggering 813 bhp. McLaren notes that the Senna is their most extreme track car yet. Now, the newly unveiled McLaren Senna GTR takes the ferocity of the model up to the nth degree. It’s extremely aggressive appearance is an absolute showstopper and it’s become a star at every car show in the USA that has one appearing. When the 2019 McLaren Senna for sale was first revealed, it took so many by surprise.
