Here's EVERYTHING a McLaren SENNA Owner Needs to Know!

The McLaren Senna leads the way when it comes to road-legal cars with brutal track intent, but there's also an awful lot for a new owner to take in! During the handover day, you are taking on a full induction tour to cover lots of the ins and outs, and now having become familiar with it join me for a run over of all of its features!

Named after legendary F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna, the McLaren Ultimate Series car is built with one purpose in mind - to be as fast as possible for a road legal car at the track. Powered by a 4.0l twin turbo V8 with 800hp and 800nm of torque, along with radical aerodynamics that give it a whopping 800kg of downforce, it's quite something to reckon with.

In addition to that though, it features a number of clever technologies including the Race Mode where the hydraulic suspension system adjusts and lowers, active aerodynamics for the rear wing and front flaps, and a lot of things you might not otherwise know about how it operates.

Let's take a tour around the exterior to take in the features and complete specification of my car itself, chassis #281. On the exterior it's painted in MSO Cerulean Blue with satin blue tinted exposed carbon fibre, Dark Stealth wheels with Cerulean Blue centre-locks and MSO Silver brake calipers. Inside is largely carbon fibre and Alcantara with occasional Cerulean Blue touches to add small amounts of colour in a teardrop cabin that is as focused as intended for a car built for the racetrack.

What you might not know about the Senna though, are how you open the nose bridge and where to find the towing eye; what's behind each of the various opening flaps on the outside, and how exactly to operate the Race Mode and Active Dynamics Panel. Join me then, for a complete run through of all of the details that a Senna customer needs to know about their car!

Thanks for watching, Tim

Join me for a full induction tour of my brand new McLaren Senna, finding out everything there is to know about the car and my specification! Before you ask, this video is a re-upload of the original out of respect to Salomondrin, who uploaded a video of the incident with his car at the exact same time. Come long now there where we'll go in detail to discover all the features from how Race Mode works, to the trick active aero and how all the interior technology works.

[chrisvandijk]

[Androidfordays]

Do you think it’s to late for Salomondrin to watch this

[basrooijmans]

Shmee, if there is one person who deserves that car its got to be you. Great to see you're so grateful and humble. Also great to see you drive the cars a lot and are such a social and respected driver in traffic.

[VARGON]

I respect you for delaying the vid for salomondrin

[QuanNguyen-limx]

Have you thought about inviting Doug to review your Senna?

[imoutofyourleague]

Wow the blue carbon looks absolutely mega in this video, didn’t realise just how sick that option was👌👌

[kimjong-un]

You need to remember to glance at your rear-view mirror thrice in a while

[bsmukler]

That’s a stunningly beautiful car. I know some people have not cared for the extreme styling, but I love it, given the fact that every inch of that car is purposeful. It is a testament to the depth of McLaren’s engineering and design capabilities. The MSO features look great as well. Congratulations!

Shmee that is a work of art....please enjoy it and stay safe mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Just a few words, if I may, from a LONG time Shmee subscriber:
Unfortunately with this being the internet, everyone feels entitled to their own opinion regardless of what backlash they may get in the process. So yes, Salamondrin had a very unfortunate event happen to his Senna, but as you said, this is what follows with a person of his status that suffers that sort of problem. But Tim, a big congrats and a nod to you from the sticky humid land of Houston, TX! I thoroughly LOVE your Senna specifically for the spec you've chosen (especially the 2-tone Cerulean Blue over Navy carbon)! Personally, my fave McLaren is still a 675LT Spider in Volcano Red with all satin carbon options, but that's my goal for the future. Keep up the wonderful work and I can't wait to see what comes of your Senna (and your GT) in the future!

[Hoju]

Shmee, I appreciate that all new cars have issues, and occasionally one presents a huge surprise. Are you worried about yours catching fire ?? Have you had any communication from McLaren to say its safe to drive ?? I hate what happened to Salomondrin's car and wouldn't want to see it repeated.

I've finally come round to liking this car, it's actually amazing
