Ajith Kumar’s McLaren Senna
As stated above, the McLaren Senna is one of the most expensive and rare McLarens on the earth. McLaren produced only 500 units of the Senna for the globe. The company also produced the McLaren Senna GTR, which was the even more track-focused version, and only 75 units of that exist.
Lastly, the most rare McLaren Sennas are the LM (Le Mans), which are limited to 35 units. Coming to the specific McLaren Senna bought by the Tamil superstar, it is finished in the unique dual-tone shades of white and orange. This particular specification of paint resembles the old Marlboro livery McLaren F1 cars, which the legendary F1 driver Ayrton Senna drove for the company during the 1980s and 1990s.
Unfortunately, he was tragically killed at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. The McLaren Senna comes equipped with a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 motor. This engine is capable of producing a whopping 800 bhp and 800 Nm of torque. What makes this supercar more special is that all the power is sent to the rear wheels.
As for the gearbox, the Senna comes with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Its main highlight is the massive and active rear wing, which generates 800 kg of downforce at 250 kmph. The famous football star Cristiano Ronaldo also owns a McLaren Senna.
