At the intersection of motorsport heritage and bespoke automotive engineering, the Prince’s Car Collection of Monaco has unveiled its latest showcase vehicle: the McLaren Senna “Marlboro.”
Crafted as a one-of-one creation by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the hypercar stands as an explicit homage to Ayrton Senna and the iconic McLaren MP4/4 - the machine whose red-and-white livery left an indelible mark on the 1988 Formula 1 season.
Beneath its lightweight carbon-fiber bodywork, the vehicle is powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 800 horsepower. The hypercar accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, reaching a top speed of 340 km/h.
Beyond its engineering metrics, this unique vehicle represents a convergence of tribute and craft, celebrating both the legacy of a legendary driver and McLaren's specialized craftsmanship as the featured "car of the moment" in Monaco.
