THE FASTEST thing with four wheels and a roof to roll out of Woking, the McLaren P1 GTR, has just been usurped. Say olá to the McLaren Senna GTR.

While the road-faring McLaren Senna could hypothetically attack Eau Rouge in the Belgian countryside as happily as it will ferry you to the shops, the Senna GTR will do no such thing.

It was built for one purpose – going fast – and it intends to achieve it with unrelenting, uncompromising efficiency and brutality.

Power and torque have been lifted, with the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 tweaked to produce “at least” 606kW (previously 588kW) – no torque figure has been released.

But those numbers pale in comparison to the GTR’s bewinged party trick, an ability to post the fastest lap times of any McLaren that isn’t lining up for grands prix around the world, thanks to bodywork that can generate up to a tonne of downforce.

The Senna GTR has a wider track, as well as new fenders front and rear when compared to its road-going sibling.

Almost unbelievably, McLaren stated the car revealed at Geneva is not the final version of the Senna GTR, with more updates planned before going into production.

“The McLaren Senna GTR Concept unveiled in Geneva is not the finished article but it does give a clear indication of our thinking for the car, which promises to be the most extreme and exciting McLaren to drive for many years, if not ever.”

We’ve got a free biscuit for the first owner to take their Senna GTR to Lanzante and slap a number plate onto the bumper. Next stop, Nurburgring.
