McLaren's main focus while designing the Senna was to achieve faster lap times. In order to do so, McLaren developed a lightweight design that incorporated aerodynamic elements. [13] The Senna is largely based on the McLaren 720S, using a modified version of its carbon fibre monocoque and engine.
New carbon fibre door panels, plexiglass windows and a full roll cage complete the transformation. Production was limited to just 21 units. The 722 GT could accelerate from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 3.3 seconds and could attain a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph), which is less than the standard SLR due to added aerodynamic drag. [16] [17]
