The McLaren Senna has already reached the used car market, and its price is already starting to rise

The used car market is presented to many as a great opportunity to get hold of a car at a truly attractive price but, on certain occasions, the exact opposite happens. There are a number of vehicles in the world that, due to certain characteristics, experience a rapid increase in value once they leave the dealership. This has happened with the latest gem from McLaren, the Senna, a model that arrives to replace the iconic P1 and commemorate one of the most significant Formula 1 drivers of all time, Ayrton Senna.

The McLaren Senna is presented not only as a revolutionary feat of engineering, but also as a collector’s piece due to its exclusive production and what it represents for the brand. With just 500 units built, the Woking hypercar was aiming high in terms of its appreciation in the not-too-distant future, something that happens with most vehicles in this segment.

It has been the luxury car dealership James Edition that has been tasked with finding a new home for this McLaren Senna that has not been driven by its first owner. In this way, not only is its value kept intact, but it can even be doubled, allowing its first owners to treat the British hypercar as a safe and flawless investment.

This particular unit is located in the United Kingdom, and features a black paint colour that contrasts with the yellow details on the exterior and interior. With more than £100,000 spent on options, we can deduce that the level of personalisation on this McLaren Senna is high and it will include some of the most attractive components for those who missed out on one of the 500 units the firm produced.

As far as the mechanics are concerned, we once again find the same heart that brings to life every McLaren Senna in existence. That is, beneath its skin lies a powerful 4.0-litre supercharged V8 capable of producing 800 CV of power and 800 Nm of torque. Thanks to these figures, the English hypercar can reach 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 340 km/h.

Based on these premises, the dealership has estimated a value of £1,250,000, which is equivalent to €1,395,985.60, a figure that considerably exceeds the €853,000 the brand asked as its base price. The McLaren Senna was destined to see its price rise considerably, something that will continue to happen over the years until this model becomes a true automotive jewel.
