    McLaren MSO Honours Senna’s First Win With Bespoke P1 GTR

    McLaren is yet again celebrating one of the most iconic racing drivers in the history of motorsport. This time, the MSO division has just revealed a bespoke P1 GTR model that pays homage to Ayrton Senna’s first title in the 1988 Grand Prix season behind the wheel of a McLaren MP4/4.

    Specially made for a collector who has high regard for Senna, the new McLaren P1 GTR wears livery that resembles that of Senna’s ’88 F1 racer, swanking Marlboro sponsorship decals which have been closely associated with the automaker for over two decades.

    According to McLaren, the exterior paintwork took more than 800 man hours, this includes all the decals and branding that acknowledges different divisions within the company. Apart from the livery and branding, this particular P1 GTR boasts bespoke features such as an aero kit that generates around 800 kg of downforce. To pull this off, the team had to add new front dive planes, a Gurney flap as well as upgraded barge boards for better airflow on either side of the car. The rear wing features bigger endplates to impersonate that of the MP4/4 Formula One car.

    Other details on the McLaren include the Senna Brand Trademark found on the front splitter, as well as on the intake and both doors, which also feature the Brazilian flag.

    Inside the P1 GTR you will find Super Lightweight Racing Seats borrowed from the McLaren Senna. The steering wheel, featuring Senna branding, has been trimmed in Alcantara, matching that of the MP4/4. The Senna branding is also found on the passenger dash panel; this is accompanied by a red stripe which runs across the door panels and front fascia.
    Being a symbol of respect to Senna, this P1 GTR is dubbed the “Becco” – this is Ayrton’s nickname, given by his parents. It comes with a special crash helmet which complements the theme of the car.

    With this particular P1 GTR being a customer car, McLaren says that the MSO team is only limited by the imagination of its customers as it offers a “near-limitless” range of specially-made components. The MSO boss Ansar Ali was also happy to add that this project was a great opportunity to pay tribute to the brand’s history, especially a 30th anniversary.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
