Say Its Name
According to McLaren, its deal with the Senna Foundation to use the iconic driver’s name
is limited to this car. If so, that’s a shame, as the perfect title for the production-spec BP23
three-seater would surely be the Ayrton. Deliveries will start next year, and although U.S. pric-
ing hasn’t been confirmed, any putative American buyers will already know if they have made
the cut. In the United Kingdom the car costs £750,000 (including Britain’s 20 percent VAT sales
tax). That’s equivalent to $837,000 before tax at current exchange rates, barely more than
the McLaren F1 cost 23 years ago.
