OK, so what have we learned here?
1. It's a track car. 2. It's not so comfortable on long drives. 3. The gas mileage sucks.
Who'd have guessed?
@jpdemer5 That is the way JC would put it indeed :)
ua-cam.com/video/aW6KTpHWbTw/v-deo.html
a race car, exactly!
You know what the problem was right. This is completely a track focused McLaren and this idiot reviewed it most of the time as a comfortable road car complaining all the way. McLaren's Best car and he is judging it for the things it was never meant to achieve.
If you miss the older guys and want a proper review - view it here - ua-cam.com/video/mC6TLE6AcH0/v-deo.html&t=
Surprised it didn’t catch fire
3:02 - "It is just a fabulous car to change lanes in it."
You have to be kidding me.
Yeah I should my head at that one. Almost expected him to say fastening the seat belt is a wonderful joy. This guy is a dork
I’m not sure how you make an 800bph, $750,00 supercar seem boring, but you did it. This was dreadful. At least give us Chris Harris for something this legendary.
Chris Harris will review it on the show this season, he's never done UA-cam videos for top gears UA-cam channel
HAHA exactly what i was thinking!
Wait? Did you say something? So sorry. I seemed to have dosed off for a nap there.. Was this a Ford or Datsun? What? Exotic Supercar? Oh... Need I say more??
I thought you were being mean to the guy but here I am at the 2 minute mark of the video thinking the same thing :-/
3:02 - "It is just a fabulous car to change lanes in it."
You have to be kidding me.
Just imagine jeremy Clarkson screaming POWEEEEEER
I was partially hoping this was a Chris Harris video
Same. I wasn't disappointed after watching it though.
Yeah, me too been waiting since he posted a picture of senna on his Insta.
he doesn't have time for this random stuff anymore. he is a Main Host now, and he is filming the next season of Top Gear atm so :)
Me too.
I was hoping this would be a Jeremy Clarkson video. Ban this filth!
Who else misses the old crew
TwiZ Rainbow ua-cam.com/video/n0GkMzXm2hI/v-deo.html
The old crew was better
Jeremy Clarkston should have done this one
who doesn't miss the old crew
@A H ayt get that stick out of your ass and calm down :)
When your accountant road tests one of the truly great supercars of all time.
Who is this guy and why he is driving that car. How can he make that so dull. It took me 30sec to watch whole 9min clip
I edit my comments so the replies won't make sense
It would be much shorter. With his driving skills, the car would probably be upside down and on fire before he left Estoril.
Imagine James may reviewing this
Red Blurryface
Lol It would be the slowest review ever
Hammond? driving this car? GET HIM A BOOSTER SEAT!!
RISEUP Gamer hed end up knocking down a member of the director team
7:44 21 mpg is insane for a supercar let alone the Senna!
Just a shame most will end up sitting in a collection somewhere and never be driven
Jamal Evo thankfully shmee 150 is getting one and driving it on trips!
I'll be driving mine and many owners will track and drive them...that being said sadly some will not get used as they should be.
Shmee will be driving his senna on a lot of road trips go sub him
Shmee150 is the best and will drive it go sub
Check Maclife out! Youll be surprised how many owners do actually take their cars on tracks!
The grand tour is better w/ Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. On Amazon Prime
This is from Top Gear magazine it's nothing really to do with the TV show
You know what the problem was right. This is completely a track focused McLaren and this idiot reviewed it most of the time as a comfortable road car complaining all the way. McLaren's Best car and he is judging it for the things it was never meant to achieve.

The owner of Senna chassis 001 immediately took it on a road trip to the south of France so we know at least one isn't going to be a garage queen!
Still waiting for shmee’s senna to be delivered
I'm talking about a different car - one owned by a man called David Kyte and has a special Senna inspired livery.
Every car became a garage queen years after purchase.. let's not hope that's the case
its funny how different this review , and jeremy clarkson’s review of the senna is
Top Gear ended when Clarkson, May, and Hammond left. I refuse to watch the “new” show.
Yet here you are...
Watching and commenting on "new" Top gear
The real Senna car is Honda NSX first generation. Ayrton was actively involved in the development as well as promoting and advertising it. NSX has a great legacy and wears his real tribute. However McLaren 2018 is fantastic and I appreciate all the work and soul put in it. With McLaren team he won all his three world titles.
True. I think if Senna were alive today, the McLaren Senna wouldn't be much different, though I think the car would have a slightly more compliant ride.
Love the NSX and the footage of Senna test driving it
Which do you think he would choose as the REAL senna car? There is no comparison, 1 he promoted as you put it and the other he's seen driving and winning Formula 1 racing titles!!! Get a grip nsx fanboy and wind your neck back in! No one wants to hear your pathetic! Yes I know that the engine was from Honda which powered the mclaren chassis but when Lewis Hamilton won in the McLaren his title no one was saying it's a Mercedes engine! It's the company name that's always first, it was mclaren that got the best out of all the aspects and assets and won the championship, I'm rambling on now but I'm sure you know what I mean senna is mclaren and not honda nsx, I had to cover my back as I knew some smart arse would point out the mclaren used a Honda engine when senna won his titles. UA-cam commenters don't miss a trick you see!!
A champion F1 car is the full package: good chassis plus good engine and top notch driver plus team. Mclaren still had a good base chassis when Honda left after '92 season, but it took time to get competitive, until Mercedes came in with their tech stuff. One must have complete package or nothing.
@@martyndyson9501 I would say Mclaren should leave his name alone out of Respect. Instead why not Mclaren Hamilton or Mclaren burger something else why should it be named Senna so people could say I sat in Senna? or some dumb millennium kid just said hey I farted in Senna while posting on instagram? Is that how we as fans show respect to someone who pass away in a tragic accident in Imola.Believe me he was just getting started had he been given a second chance guess Schumacher wouldn't have won so much.I knew some dumbass would point out Senna is Mclaren hes not an object youtube commenters dont miss a trick you see!!
top gear will never be what it was without richard , jeremy and mr
slowly
Who else did this show up for after salomondrons car caught fire
I miss ayrton senna 😢 one of the most inspirational human being that ever existed
BBC really missed the boat by losing Clarkson, May, and Hammond
Doug, please review this car.
Techmaniac43 this is a 2018 mclaren senna and today i go show all the quorques and features, a lot of then. 😁
Ulisses Vinícios And i'm gonna take it to the road and drive and then i will give it a Doug Score😁
It'll do very well in the weekend categories but not very well in the daily categories.
And for more of my thoughts on this car, click the link below to visit autotrader dot com slash oversteer, where i've written a column about it.
Now before i give it a DougsScore, I'll show you around the many quirks and features of the Senna. And for more of my thoughts, click the link below to go to autotrader.com/oversteer where I have compiled a list of the cheapest Senna's currently listed for sale on autotrader.
I didn't realize a British car could run 1500 miles. Good job guys, keep up the good work.
Why haven't Mclaren Senna tried to beat the nuburghring time? SennaVSAventadorSVJ
Oliver G.M cuz they aren't rivals
But they are now
As a fact, it's much faster than SVJ. No need to chase records.
Dilusha it can't beat p1 LM w 6.43
No need to compete at the VAG home circuit, the false competition is being created for vag marketing and sales purposes.
Tremendous editing. Such a good watch.
0:09 “You better make sure the car lives up to the man...” Yep. Just like Salomondrin’s, up in flames.
6:58 "the second you cross into France, the surface deteriorates"
XD
Fantastic car.. Legendary name.
SENNA is a legendary Brazilian driver that happened to pass away years ago, but thank McLaren for making this car under his name!!!!
Salomondrin watching this in tears. I feel for that man
I love senna since i was 10 y/o.
I obsessed over how compassionate he is.
Bless you so
Breaking news pal.... It’s not A Grand Tourer, don’t expect it to be.
fourpipes your point being?
It is not very economical, they had to refuel every ~200 miles
I'm just gonna wait until Jeremy reviews it on The Grand Tour
The car looks stunning hurtling up and down the mountain roads of the Pyrenees. Great video TG. There will be one person you can guarantee will make this journey, Tim Burton, did a similar journey in his 675LT.
A.k.a. Shmee150
Ugliest supercar ever designed
EvaFrass@me..y pree In the case of the Mclaren Senna it's function over form, it's designed to be functional and not just an art piece
I can think of a few cars that look uglier.
You're an idiot.
"A lovely car to change lanes in." Praise comes no higher than that.
2:33 THE SPIT IN THIS MOUTH
LMAO
The more I look at this car, the mode I like how it looks. That rear 3/4 is stunning. Would love to see a ring lap for this car.
Love Senna, he was a great pilot. But he's gone too soon!
The grand tour made and amazing review of this car
Should be Jeremy clarkson Richard Hammond and James may
There's only one man who'd introduce this car in the wildest way make you connect withthecar - and that's Richard
Spoiler!!
it didn't caught on fire.
Jesus Christ catch* learn to spell
Its a raw experience, all those issue are its character. I want one.
I would love to drive a car like that on a road like that before I die!
Rock audio at 5:00 will have the garage queens in tears
As a huge fan of both old Top Gear and new Top Gear, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Really was feeling the host, and the production from start to finish. Credit where credit is due, great work!
when he said "estoril is where he won his first ever grand prix" i got goose bumps all over my body. i'm portuguese.
I love the Senna( the car and the driver)
Beautiful
But how much faster than McLaren's Formula 1 car is this around the track?
I really don't understand what are they waiting to build their own F1 engine, with all the R&D they've !
Amine MK look how much it cost Mercedes to develop there V6, that’s why. Also Mclaren would be 5 years behind everyone else. Look at Honda who were a year behind everyone else and how there still not up to scratch although they are now slowly getting there
Amine MK they don't have any R&D for building engines.
Yeah but the new engine regulations will start at 2020.
This car isnt even close to an F1 car in terms of lap times
This car is so small and compact and personal. It's so advanced. The most advanced countries have the technology to make cars this good. This car is a statement. Ride,speed,looks,knowhow,technology/quality. Millionaires buy British cars and German cars and a little Sweden too
The front overhang on the car still seems incredibly long.
If the morse code coming through the lower window via dashed road line isn't "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!", you're definitely not living up the Senna properly.
How fast did it go aorund the top gear track? (with stigiboy)
His full name is His Royal Schtiggness
1:18:00 I believe
jenanlambo it's not that rubbish is it?
It went faster than the speed of love
Faster than your mom's fatass.
750,000 Pounds?!? How does that even move, it's so heavy:O
I saw, I came, but did not conquer 🤤❤
I came, I saw, I conked out.
I must say the main reason I would like to buy a senna would be to open out the interior as a debate forum,hence the need for a quiet engine so you can have conversations
That car is so cool
Quick note, Senna actually lived very close to estoril, in guincho, monaco was a financial heaven.
I can't wait until McLaren makes a 5 seat car.
Watching Top Gear again you forget their complete mastery in car footage - I miss the big three comedians but damn Top Gear still got it.
five seconds slower than a gt3 racer? That's a lot.
It's a racer!
Its still slow as hell

I messaged Ben Sloss, who has one of these and also has GT3 cars. He said it would be faster on equivalent tyres.
I know 😂
@@Gibla2077 I hope he gets a Valkyrie, that'll run rings around the senna.
I love the fact that they were running the McLaren senna in my home town 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
it sure does live up to its name 2 of the Senna's have already been melted due to fire issues
Jesus christ that's dark 🤣
Why was this review done driving from Spain to Monaco instead of on the Nurburgring??? Please explain.
*it starts in portugal
And because that's where he got his first f1 win
Rip salomondrins senna
Beast
imagine what the other people on the highway seeing the Senna passing by are thinking lol
I hear they tend to go up in flames and smoke
What a great video. Amazing roads too. I must try them!
I love the McLaren Senna
You would.
The sound of the rocks smashing this +$1 million dollar car hurt my soul.
When did Richard lose all his hair?
Jokes aside, great production. Still warming up to the design of the Senna but it's growing.
This car reminds me of an NSX. That Japanese no nonsense, function over form. Ayrton would have loved it.
It looks beautiful😍
I’m not a furry i swear ugly af.
WN8OverR9000 nah it looks good
P1 has better exhaust flames m8
Tafari Dean Yes I know it looks good to your 9-year-old eyes
Well not every car has exhaust flames like that, let alone supercars or hypercars
I like this bloke. Not as much gimmicks as the old top gear, but more about the feel of the car. Great review.
Imagine the depreciation after the trip
Aidan Lai so what. That doesn’t matter
It is a factory owned McLaren Senna. Specifically for media drives
This is from Top Gear magazine, not the TV-show. If it was we would have Chris Harris here. Top Gear is not dead, but it has changed.
It’s sad that almost all of these cars will never be driving properly. Wouldn’t you drive this car on rallies and on track as much as possible? I know I would!!!
Track yes...twisty roads yes...I for one am not a fan of cross country or pan euro rallies to show off...but that is just me and my #264 Senna :)
Josh Snowhorn well if I had your #264 Senna I would show it off. But not in an arrogant way. I’ve had parents thank me a million times for letting their kids sit in my Porsche. And it’s a great feeling because I used to be one of them. And my Porsche is just a Boxster, it’s not a big deal or anything. Congrats an getting yourself one tho!
Shmee150 is getting one so no doubt you will see a lot of vids with it.
SleepEatDrive Not true, stop repeating myths. If you would actually be friends with people who have these cars you would see a completely different picture. 90% of the peeps I know who have p1, 675lt are doing track days. Every single person that I know that got an allocation for Senna will be doing track days with it. The major concern though is the longevity of the new brakes and the cost of replacement. Yes, even for people with money to afford Senna, spending $80,000 on brakes after a day at the track is not just "brush it off my shoulders"
Aryton Senna would be proud of this car.
Honda could put his name on a car too.
^ THIS!
If they didn't vision the future of performance to be electronic stability control and motorized torque vectoring perchance
8:50 God it's weird and neat at the same time to see that river through the door of that car.
Hyper-cars do not interest me anymore, as most people will never get to experience them.
Thats why I have so much respect for cars like the GT-R as it is a budget super-car (compared to those).
Take a highly specialised track car and drive for 36 hours on a motorway. Which genius came up with that award-winning idea?
Interesting that it didn’t engulf in flames...
This cars gives me gosebumps
Schumacher > Senna
The Morse code from the white lines bares the same type of message coming out of my wife: a constant white boring noise
Great video! Great car!
UsherLinder you've never seen good television obviously ..
:-)
whether moving or still the beauty of the Senna is undeniable
Another deaf sound engineer
It's the Top Gear way!
Good lord the Old Top Gear was sooo much better, I miss those guys.
Fastest to BURN !!!!
Ayrton Senna was known for his aggressive and ruthless driving style
He was tough to block and almost impossible to pass
I don't think they should call it SENNA its a money scheme for all how loved and respected him. if u wanna compare a car too SENNA koenigsegg would be it always making new records and never stop evolving into the best or nothing. . .
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are the only 3 or deemed Worthy of not only driving cars like this but hosting the TV show Top Gear. I have a hard time looking at this guy and hearing his voice. It's a shame that all three of them are no longer on the show.
I miss the old top gears. Top gear sucks now
This is from Top Gear magazine, this guy was already there when Clarkson was running the TV show
Top gear should make a car in memory of the old guys, we miss u guys😢. R.I.P. Top gear.
Hideous from a company that designed the P1, 720S.
Obviously you don't understand car design and what McLaren was trying to accomplish here.
Ever heard of Functionality?
Dumbass
They've just simply sacrificed looks for performance, I get that, but yeah, I cant help but find it not good looking
I hope The Grand Tour does this car. Wow, they managed to make the freaking Senna boring. Way to go guys
But he was the best when he was with HONDA =)
SI RICKO the team was a fusion between Honda and McLaren and it was actually called Honda McLaren ;) u welcome
OvayBrandao back then it’s wasn’t 2018 buddy. Lol
SI RICKO google. The team for which Ayrton raced was Honda-McLaren and all of his three titles were with that team.
Actually OvayBrandao is right on this one
Dash thx bro ! I basically know everythig bout Ayrton. On may 15, 1994 I was watching the Imola gp live... that sad day. I am still a big fan of his... so I couldnt be wrong with smth regarding Ayrton Senna do Brasil
