The McLaren Senna costs 750,000, and they"re all sold. But they"re not all going to cost 750,000, because McLaren Special Operations has begun wheeling out the options you can throw at the new Ultimate Series supercar. Chief among them is the Carbon Theme. This showcases the Senna"s carbon panels in an immaculate carbon weave. There are 67 pieces in all, which take 1,000 hours to produce. Even the yellow detailing on the car shown takes 250 hours to apply. Eagle-eyed F1 fans will note this yellow and green scheme is inspired by Ayrton Senna"s iconic helmet livery. As you"d expect, this sort of fastidious attention to detail does not come cheaply. McLaren warns: "Cars commissioned from McLaren Special Operations will take considerably longer to build and carry a financial premium. The bespoke personalisation carried out on the McLaren Senna Carbon Theme by MSO, for example, adds a little under 300,000 to the price."
