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.
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??

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.
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.
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!!
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.
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!
I'm just glad that McLaren are doing things like this and pushing the limits, it helps with research for there sportscars models plus it forces the competition to keep fighting back! It's us car fans that are the winners because we keep seeing great cars by great brands on a regular basis, since the veyron came out we have been spoilt and the more bespoke brands that are competing the better and longer it will last, 95% of us will never own or even drive most of these cars but it doesn't stop us admiring them and wishing they just keep building them! We can all dream!
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
Putting nostalgia for the 'old top gear' to one side - I thought this review was terrible. It was full of contradictions. 'it's really fast' 'it's really slow' 'it's a track car' 'it's not just a track car'. It sounds to me like it's too uncomfortable and uneconomic to enjoy on the road, and that it's too slow on the track because of its massive tail? There was no message, no point to the review...
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!!!
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!
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"
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).
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. . .
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
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
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 :)

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
Lmfao 😂
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 :)
Just imagine jeremy Clarkson screaming POWEEEEEER
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.
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
When your accountant road tests one of the truly great supercars of all time.
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!
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
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

7:44 21 mpg is insane for a supercar let alone the Senna!
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
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.

top gear will never be what it was without richard , jeremy and mr
slowly
I miss ayrton senna 😢 one of the most inspirational human being that ever existed
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
Fantastic car.. Legendary name.
I love senna since i was 10 y/o.
I obsessed over how compassionate he is.
Bless you so
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.
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.
I didn't realize a British car could run 1500 miles. Good job guys, keep up the good work.
0:09 “You better make sure the car lives up to the man...” Yep. Just like Salomondrin’s, up in flames.
SENNA is a legendary Brazilian driver that happened to pass away years ago, but thank McLaren for making this car under his name!!!!
BBC really missed the boat by losing Clarkson, May, and Hammond
The grand tour made and amazing review of this car
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
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.
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.
Beautiful
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!
Excellent review and a very nice spec.
Should be Jeremy clarkson Richard Hammond and James may
I'm just gonna wait until Jeremy reviews it on The Grand Tour
Salomondrin watching this in tears. I feel for that man
Amazing production on this video. Made justice to the name
Spoiler!!
it didn't caught on fire.
Jesus Christ catch* learn to spell
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
6:58 "the second you cross into France, the surface deteriorates"
XD
I like this bloke. Not as much gimmicks as the old top gear, but more about the feel of the car. Great review.
I love the Senna( the car and the driver)
Amazing and Awesome Editting and Film Crew
The front overhang on the car still seems incredibly long.
What a great video. Amazing roads too. I must try them!
Beast
when he said "estoril is where he won his first ever grand prix" i got goose bumps all over my body. i'm portuguese.
Love Senna, he was a great pilot. But he's gone too soon!
I'm just glad that McLaren are doing things like this and pushing the limits, it helps with research for there sportscars models plus it forces the competition to keep fighting back! It's us car fans that are the winners because we keep seeing great cars by great brands on a regular basis, since the veyron came out we have been spoilt and the more bespoke brands that are competing the better and longer it will last, 95% of us will never own or even drive most of these cars but it doesn't stop us admiring them and wishing they just keep building them! We can all dream!
I saw, I came, but did not conquer 🤤❤
I came, I saw, I conked out.
Its a raw experience, all those issue are its character. I want one.
Rip salomondrins senna
Take a highly specialised track car and drive for 36 hours on a motorway. Which genius came up with that award-winning idea?
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
0:35 wow that car is heavy
That car is so cool
I love the fact that they were running the McLaren senna in my home town 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
I love the McLaren Senna
You would.
Rock audio at 5:00 will have the garage queens in tears
I would love to drive a car like that on a road like that before I die!
Is there a long extended version of this clip? Like every journey from Estoril to Monaco with stopovers.
five seconds slower than a gt3 racer? That's a lot.
It's a racer!
Its still slow as hell
Read More
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.
Really love this car. Thank you so much.
2:33 THE SPIT IN THIS MOUTH
LMAO
Really enjoyed that, thanks!
I can't wait until McLaren makes a 5 seat car.
whether moving or still the beauty of the Senna is undeniable
I hear they tend to go up in flames and smoke

When did Richard lose all his hair?
Jokes aside, great production. Still warming up to the design of the Senna but it's growing.
three things the McLaren Senna deserves:
1.) a hybrid motor
2.) KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System)
3.) DRS (Drag Reduction System)
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
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.
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!

There's only one man who'd introduce this car in the wildest way make you connect withthecar - and that's Richard
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 🤣
stellar video. thanks for this masterpeice!
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).
it's so nice to see a car with senna's name in, my hero and this car is my fav. now haha. Senna é eterno.
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
Great review Top Gear! Appreciate that you guys took this review seriously.
Jesús christ this guy is terrible. Better to watch this video on mute. Top gear is dead to me.
dull dull dull......
Yeah. Basically. No soul. Just reading a script
In fairness it's a very good car review. It's just not fun in the way of old TG.
I hope you realise that this is the Magazine, not the show.
@@doomotron6160 yup
Amazing short! Well done TG!
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. . .
8:50 God it's weird and neat at the same time to see that river through the door of that 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
Aryton Senna would be proud of this car.
Great video! Great car!
UsherLinder you've never seen good television obviously ..
:-)
750,000 Pounds?!? How does that even move, it's so heavy:O
Another deaf sound engineer
It's the Top Gear way!
"A lovely car to change lanes in." Praise comes no higher than that.
Schumacher > Senna
It’s faster than Vulcan and it’s legal the problem doesn’t have AC
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
Honestly one of my favorite cars of all time.
Interesting that it didn’t engulf in flames...
