A supercar in black and yellow… What else might car enthusiasts want to see at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show starting next week?
One of the most highly anticipated premieres of the Swiss event, the presentation of the new McLaren Senna, was apparently not a big enough event for the British auto builder, so instead of introducing the car to the world wearing nothing but a normal paint job, they decided to raise the stakes a bit.
Enter the McLaren Senna carbon fiber, a 67-piece body set that takes about 1,000 hours to manufacture, and only a second to stun the audience. Add some Solar Yellow detailing here and there, a touch of green on the brake pads, and you’re in for a treat.
Officially called Carbon Theme, the special exterior and interior touches are one of five different such designs that will be made available for the Senna by the company's Special Operations team. At the Geneva Motor show, the Carbon-themed McLaren will be the only one on display, while the other four will be shown digitally to the audience.
"The McLaren Senna Carbon Theme by MSO at the Geneva Motor Show is exactly the kind of project we thrive on delivering and once customers have had the opportunity to view it in person, I would not be at all surprised to see a rise in expressions of interest for MSO Visual Carbon Fibre cars similar to this one,” said Ansar Ali, Managing Director, McLaren Special Operations.
When it will begin selling, the supercar will do so complete with the a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that develops 800 horsepower and 800 Nm (590 pound-feet) of torque and has a zero to sixty acceleration time of 2.7 seconds.
Only 500 models of the Senna will be manufactured, each one being over three times more expensive than the 720S: the model wears a price tag of $958,966, plus taxes.
