what tech did they use other than same old cf monocage 2? and how light will it really be with fluids when measured by independent source?
You’re way too focused on the looks, they sick yeah, but you have to admire some of the technology, I get that you dislike McLaren like a lot of us but you have to admire them making some track weapons for their clients that are road legal. Ferrari could learn from that and make some but obviously not that ugly
It's like an "art film". People appreciate the "ground breaking" subject but no one goes to the cinema to see it.
Yet it’s sold out. If you think Ferrari customers wouldn’t appreciate a Ferrari track weapon with innovation like this you’re a bit delusional. Yes the TDF, Speciale, things like that are amazing are so beautiful, but there is for sure a market for a car like this that Ferrari could fill that void and show McLaren you can make a weapon of a car without it looking like something made with body kits for a Honda S2000. Have a good one mayor
You can always fine 500 speculators for anything out there. Good for them. The rest of us will shake our heads
Sold out just like they said 720 was sold out through 2018...yet dealers have them sitting unsold. Hmmm. Will this sell out yes. Will it go for P1 post secondary pricing? Nope I bet not.
Never claimed it would go for P1 pricing or anything, I’m just admiring the technology for weight savings and the engine. I don’t want Ferrari to build a car that looks like this but it would be great to see their interpretation on a track focused road car.
The more I see it, the more my lunch just hurls up a little bit more up my esophagus. No Ferrari- please don't build this or anything like this. Who cares about weight savings when have to wear a paper bag on your head cause you are too embarrassed to be seen in it. Im shaking my head wondering who gave the green light for the design. Sure its limited, sure it will sell out but good lord- its just awful.
There is not one angle on this car that looks nice, can't believe Mclaren made a car so ugly. Its like Honda had some influence in the design.
Most Ferrari owners probably don’t need a track focused street legal monstruosity that’s good only to brag about lap times on internet forums. They drive to the track in their tastefully styled road car where their track Ferrari is being prepared for them. And at the price of this POS it’s not like they’d end up much worse off.

At least it was at the behest of a kooky client, and not a production model. I believe the Senna will become infamous because of its looks.
I'm sure it'll be closer to it's published weight than Ferrari, the 458 spec/scud and La Ferrari were all way off
What is the new tech that will make everyone forget how ugly it is? Same v8tt, monocell 2, typical race car aero, suspension lowers in race mode, etc. That's all been seen before. Nothing new.

yep, abstractly considered nothing, just extrem in its kind. McLaren develops an extrem track focused car with all ingredients of racing, sold this for 750k pounds and puts this thing on ROAD TIRES? And then they claim that this contradiction happens within the meaning of Senna? All this bs just to be able to say we build the fastest "road car"? In the Ferrari world you buy a challenge car e basta, unlimited racing fun guaranteed. Ridiculous this project, a shame the entire "Senna" marketing story around it.
