McLaren Automotive has never stopped pushing the limits. That’s why we’re excited to see the new McLaren Senna attack the historic Silverstone circuit. In a tweet early this morning, the Senna looks ready to race.

As a tribute to another racer who left us too early, the Senna evokes memories of Ayrton’s dominance behind the wheel. Officially, the car is rated at 659 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.

Even at that level, it has a better power-to-weight ratio than the P1 GTR. They promised updates throughout the week, so stay with us for all your McLaren news.
