Der Flügel
Selbstverständlich benötigen auch die McLaren Senna eine Sammlung, «radical» hat eine lange Geschichte mit diesem Hypercar, verdankt ihm eines der grossartigsten Fahrerlebnisse überhaupt (nachzulesen: hier). Weil kaum zwei Exemplare gleich konfiguriert wurden, darf man hier dann auch reichlich schöne Details erwarten. Und überhaupt ist das eine gute Möglichkeit, endlich noch die weiteren Entwicklungen bei den Senna nachzuführen.

McLaren Senna GTR
75 Exemplare des GTR entstanden, sie führen die Tradition des F1 GTR weiter, sind reine Track-Tools. Am Motor wurde wenig gearbeitet, das Abgas-System konnte etwas freier gestaltet werden, weil der GTR ja nur für die Rennstrecke gedacht ist, das ergab dann 814 PS. Doch die Aero ist noch deutlich wilder, das Fahrwerk wurde angepasst, es konnten noch 11 Kilo eingespart werden (verbleiben noch 1188 Kilo).

McLaren Senna GTR LM
Und wem das nun alles noch zu wenig exklusiv war, für dann gab es auch noch fünf Exemplare des Senna GTR LM. Noch ein paar Pferdchen mehr, 833 – und alle in einer unterschiedlichen Lackierung, die an den grossartigen Le-Mans-Sieg von 1995 erinnern sollen.
Chassis-Nummer: SBM15TCB0LW008256
Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, London 2024, Schätzpreis 1’6 bis 2 Millionen Pfund, mit diesen Informationen: «The left-hand-drive example offered here was finished as a tribute to F1 GTR chassis 06R. Emblazoned with the distinctive yellow and green Harrods colour scheme and wearing race number 51, that car was the second McLaren to reach the chequered flag at the Circuit de la Sarthe—behind the victorious 01R ran by the Lanzante team. Entered by Mach One Racing and expertly driven by Andy Wallace, Derek Bell, and Justin Bell, the British trio completed the podium in 3rd place. They might even have claimed victory had a gearbox gremlin two hours from the finish not forced Wallace to ease the car over the line. Accordingly, this car is presented in Solar Yellow over Heritage Green, while McLaren sought special permission from the race organiser, Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), and period sponsors to authentically recreate the unmistakable livery. Indeed, this was the first time that the famous Harrods logo had been seen on a McLaren for 25 years. The design was then hand painted over the course of more than 800 hours. The only piece of vinyl to feature on the body is a replica of the scrutineering sticker from Le Mans in 1995, which is applied on the roof. Further exterior flourishes include the five-spoke OZ Racing wheels (original supplier of the F1 GTR wheels) finished in a Matte Dark Graphite shade and optional satin carbon fibre accent panels. Meanwhile, the callipers for the carbon ceramic brakes and suspension wishbones were painted gold in a nod to the original F1 GTRs. At the back, the Senna GTR LM gained a special twin-exit pipe Inconel exhaust system exhaling below the rear wing. Consigned to auction by its original and sole owner, this car was the only one of the five Senna GTR LMs delivered new to the United Kingdom. It was then twice exhibited at the prestigious Salon Privé held at Blenheim Palace in September 2020 and again in August 2023. Showing 1,003 kilometres from new at the time of cataloguing, the car is complemented by an additional ‘standard’ Senna GTR engine (number 40JBAH150679) only ever used on the McLaren dyno, plus a set of wet-weather wheels and tyres. Please note, road-legal conversion of the car might be possible.»

Mehr Hypercar-Sammlungen haben wir in unserem Archiv.
Die McLaren Senna GTR werden seit 2018 produziert. Von den sechs hier präsentierten hat immerhin einer mehr als 1’000 km Laufleistung auf dem Buckel. Alle anderen fallen wohl in die Kategorie „Spekulationsobjekt“.
Übrigens: Auf der Wikipedia werden zum LM als Zahl 35 produzierte genannt. Falsch (Wikipedia ist auch nicht fehlerfrei) oder schlicht eine aktuellere Zahl (Nachfrage)?
