Why it matters
The Senna is a track-focused road car named after Ayrton Senna. McLaren built it as the ultimate track car for the road, and it is not a direct successor to the hybrid P1 because it relies on a V8 alone.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
