British carmaker McLaren launched its Senna supercar in Japan with an event at Tokyo’s Zojoji temple, Forbes reported on 25 May.
The car, named after racing legend Ayrton Senna, is a “track-focused, limited edition, street-legal hypercar”, the article says, adding that a Noh percussionist had been chosen to provide a musical introduction to the launch.
Ayrton Senna is revered by Japanese racing fans, it goes on to say, with McLaren having been partnered with Honda during the racer’s heyday.
