Tamil superstar and professional racer Ajith Kumar has added a true gem to his exotic car collection by acquiring the ultra-rare McLaren Senna, which is the “Kohinoor” of hypercars. Beyond its staggering price tag, the McLaren Senna stands out as a tribute to the legendary Ayrton Senna, the three-time Formula One world champion widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers in motorsport history. Here’s an in-depth look at what makes this hypercar exceptionally special and rare.
McLaren Senna: Why is it so special?
The name Senna strikes an emotional chord across the motorsport world and to own the McLaren Senna is nothing short of a dream come true moment for a racer like Kumar. The actor posted the delivery ceremony of the McLaren Senna on various social media platforms under the name of Ajithkumar Racing. In the video, Kumar is seen bedazzled as he walks around the sports car and admires every angle of it with Ayrton Senna’s image in the background. In the video, he later takes the car out of a spin.
McLaren has hand-built only 500 examples of the Senna, which are all pre-sold. According to McLaren, it takes roughly 300 hours to handcraft this exotic beauty in Surrey, England. McLaren also offers the Senna GTR with only 75 units and only 25 units of the Senna LE.Â
