In a Sea of Supercars, McLaren’s $358,000 Latest Is Value for the Money
You could have dropped $1 million on the Senna. Or you could have just waited for the 765LT instead
At $358,000, 755-horsepower, and a slim 2,709 pounds, the 765LT presents all of the driving thrill of the Senna at a fraction of the cost.

With a curb-weight of just 2,641 pounds and none of the creature comforts typically associated with a vehicle of that price, it’s also so bare-bones it has nauseated some automotive writers, as Motor Trend’s Jonny Lieberman noted in a series of increasingly green-faced Instagram posts last year. (To say nothing of its recall for fire risk.) Nonetheless, Senna represents the top of the line at McLaren, a status that is irresistible to the select car buyers with the means and iron stomach to acquire such a machine. The 500 models planned for production sold out almost immediately after the car’s debut in 2018.
