Carfection always impressed me with their contents 👌🏻
Please keep doing these Carfection+ videos. The engineering details they cover is amazing and Henry is the best!
Hate on the Senna all you like (if you do). It’s been designed to crush lap times not look pretty in Monaco, Beverly Hills or Knightsbridge.
True, but I wish that McLaren had given it another turn to be a bit more radical, more in the league of the project one and the Valkyrie, but I understand that we are talking about 750k not 2 millions or more.
For sure. As fast as the Senna is, I think the Valkyrie and Proj. 1 will far exceed it's performance and be closer to LMP1 (on slicks) than any other road car ever made. The Senna probably has a real world 850+ BHP, but it definitely falls of the other two cars, but as you say it makes sense with the price difference.
stubones easy to say it will crush times so far just speculation. Is it faster then Porsche GT2RS time will tell. Plenty of great track cars look good to
I believe McLaren are making a direct p1 replacement likely close to the range of those vehicles. The Senna and 720s are more real world test mules for their tech which is why they can’t and haven’t made too much of either since they need the money for another project
I think it looks incredible
Love these insight videos! Keep up the good work!
No disregard to the other presentors, but getting Henry in this channel has been the best thing ever.
2:01 "incredible, bssss bss" It's so light, it makes you lost for words! Hahaha I love your videos Henry!
I don’t think it’s ugly at all. Looks purposeful, you know it means business. Bet it looks amazing in the flesh.
The WOLF is back. Loving the Senna content! Hope we get to see more extra footage, even if its unused B-roll!
Such extraordinary engineering we're seeing in cars these days.
Skinny Wolverine!!!
I don't understand why people say it's ugly. I think that it's great obscure looking functional machine.
VALLY agree m8
I think those people are the ones who dont understand the beauty of the engineering of cars. The people saying the car is ugly would be the same as those who rate a car on its reputation and "drama" or whatever that bullshit is.
This car is not the usual porn, it's engineering porn
That is a LOT of carbon fiber. I love how the monocoque is made, they did a great job designing it. The Senna is one of a kind.
McLaren is the only car manufacturer who seesm to grasp that we are in the 21st century..I wish there were practical hatchbacks with some of the technology in them..especially active suspension
TRUTH SEEKER yeah no problem, if you’re cool with paying $100,000 for a practical hatchback
Awesome. Thanks :-)
When I first saw pictures of this car, I thought it was hideous. But now....I think it's starting to grow on me...
MSO option for 285 front tires and rear wing mounts that push the wing element further back pls!
So why no carbon rims?
It's an MSO option but they probably didn't put them on the demo/prototype cars due to them being somewhat prone to shattering. A better option would be magnesium wheels as seen on F1 cars and most of the sub 7 minute Nurburgring cars.
This makes the koenigsegg agera rs so much more astounding. The agera is around 100kg heavier but with a bigger and much more powerfull engine, removeable roof and much more "luxury" features. (+ it's 3 years old now. i bet koenigegg could shave of a lot of the weight if they would do a ultalight barebones version. even the one:1 has leatherseats, heightreluglation a big infotainment system and so on)
Drivetribe misses you😔
can anybody explain the process in which the brakes are produced ? and why they take 7 months to produce ?
Crazy
Do the brakes have a diff material mix compared with other McLaren carbon ceramics? or is the only difference that they are cured much slower?
Cool video BTW
Mile The braking system is the most advanced ever fitted to a McLaren road car. The next-generation carbon ceramic brakes utilise racing technology, and each disc takes seven months to create - seven times longer than a conventional carbon ceramic disc. The Formula 1™ inspired front calipers feature a super-stiff monobloc design and six ventilated pistons to reduce temperatures. A brake booster used on the track-only McLaren P1™ GTR enhances modulation and pedal consistency. The resulting braking performance is phenomenal: 124mph (200km/h) to standstill is achieved in just 100 metres, and less than 30 metres is covered when stopping from 62mph (100km/h).
Copied and pasted straight from McLaren. Dont know if it really answers your question though.
"A shelby...?" Dude! That's a Daytona Coupe! Even if its "just" a factory five replica- that the best car ever to come outta the us and a!!!!
Really surprised it's only a 245 in front.
What's the music at 4:37 please? Shazam comes up with something else.
I hope the engineers got each a Freddo.
I'd like to test drive a Senna. I'm a RUclips creator how do I get on the list to drive?
Ozzstar you have 9000 subscribers you will never drive one...
QuantuMlapZiz never? Are you sure?
QuantuMlapZiz lmao
I think what he means is, there is practically no chance Mclaren will invite you to test drive the Senna based your limited subscriber numbers (and therefore limited influence/importance). You may well be lucky enough in the future to be invited to drive a customer's car if you know people....
With 9000 subs I highly doubt it. McLaren and similar companies look for content creators with a big/substantial following I.e. over 100k subs or something I'm guessing. Maybe a different manufacture will be willing to have test drive their cars if you contact them.
does the Senna have a dry sump ?
Can someone please tell me how the weiht of the car comes to 1300 kg if all body parts is from 5 kg 10 kg to the cabim 94 kg. what is that weights until 1300 kg??
thank yoi very mich i really apreciate if you answer
A. Calder meets A. Senna
Love IT###😍 when am rich I'll definitely buy one...!
245 is way too skinny. I run those on my BRZ and ran 255s on my GTI. Something less pedestrian than those needs a wider tire.
This car is engineered to be fast and nothing else. That doesn’t take away the fact that the proportion of this car is very unusual and not conventionally pretty. So it is fair to call it a brilliantly engineered ugly car
It's NOT light weight!!!
900kg, 600kg is light weight!!
My name is laren😂😂
not sure if car or aerospace
Welp, this was definitely not what I was hoping to see.....
this car is not beautiful in the regular sense
it is beautiful in what i call " earodynamic and mathmatical " way
this car is not ment to be appeleing to the general public but to be lap time crusher that is wrothy to hold the senna name
What is it these days with new ugly Hypercars? Are we living in the age of sexy ugly cars? I mean, it's ugly but still attractive... I first experienced it with the Centenario... Ugly back but still a Looker... Or the ugly P1... with it's insect looking ass... I guess, I have to get used to it... ;-)
Stop trying to make this car a big deal. This car isnt a big deal in the slightest. Its a re-skinned mclaren with a pathetic exhaust note.
maoristereo I assume you'd do a far better job...
I think THEY can do a far better job. Thats the point.
It's a very unattractive car and there are better track weapons out there that are faster and just as much fun. It's a pointless road car unless. I believe for most it's just an investment.
Still a GT2 RS will Crush this Facts!!!!
LMAO, You have to be joking because no one is stupid enough to believe that Porsche has a prayer against the Senna. Even the 720S is as fast around a circuit as the GT2 RS and is faster in straight line. The Senna is much quicker than the 720S so.......... Facts....
stubones Porsches are always known to punch above there weight, A GT3 RS would give this car and the 720 a run for its money....
Uses the word 'facts' and adds lots of exclamation marks. Instant disregard.
It’s the internet and this proves even idiots can have their say here
"gt3rs would give this car (senna) a run for its money"... yeah i guess if you are on meth you might believe that.
