McLaren CEO, Mike Flewitt and other McLaren Automotive and McLaren Special Operations senior executives presented Mr. Kyte with Senna 001 in Woking, UK at the McLaren Technology Center. Accompanied by three other McLaren Sennas, a McLaren 720S, and a McLaren 600LT, Senna OO1 headed for the south of France. e convoy of supercars, whose drivers included racing driver and nephew of Ayrton Senna, Bruno Senna; McLaren Automotive Chief Operating Officer, Dr Jens Ludmann and McLaren Ultimate Series Vehicle Line Director, Andy Palmer, arrived at the Circuit Paul Ricard where Mr. Kyte took part in a Pure McLaren driving experience. "Handing over the key to the first customer McLaren Senna built was an honor for me and a milestone for the company," commented McLaren Automotive CEO, Mike Flewitt. "David Kyte is a longstanding McLaren enthusiast with a true passion for our brand and a number of McLarens to prove it. We have had many conversations about the car he has now taken delivery of, and while I believe that the McLaren Senna is already incredible in every respect, the additional work that David has commissioned from McLaren Special Operations has taken 'Senna 001' to another level." Finished in MSO Anniversary White with striking livery painted in MSO Aurora Blue and the Senna brand displayed on the wing endplate, the bespoke McLaren Senna also features roof 'snorkel', T-Bar and fuel filler cover in MSO Satin Visual Carbon Fibre; brake calipers painted in MSO Bespoke Burton Blue; and MSO Bespoke Coloured Centre Lock wheel nuts in Volcano Red. e paintwork alone took more than 600 hours to complete, two paint specialists devoting two weeks to 'masking-up' the car before the livery was applied. 'Senna 001' is personalized with references to the legendary Brazilian race car driver, Ayrton Senna. His signature is on the door shut. Engraved on the throttle pedal is the years that he was Formula One World Champion. e layout of São Paulo, Brazil's Interlagos circuit – with the McLaren badge marking
