Stop the press, because a McLaren Senna went up on AutoTrader's classifieds section. The Senna is one of the fastest cars ever made - not only by McLaren but in automotive history. For its production run, McLaren announced that only 500 units would be built, of which all 500 were sold out in virtually the blink of an eye.
The unit that appeared on AutoTrader was listed by the official McLaren dealer in South Africa, Daytona. According to the information supplied, this 2020 model has only done a mere 7km - yes, seven - and is the only one available in South Africa. Note: several South African owners took ownership of their Senna in South Africa, but this is the only one for sale/available.
In terms of the car's warranty, the listing says that there are still 32 months remaining. The interior is finished in Azura Blue Alcantara with a satin carbon fibre interior finish. To strap yourself in, occupants must make use of the six-point harness.
