McLaren Senna 1/24

A new supercar joins the Tamiya 1/24 Sports Car Series: the McLaren Senna. 2018 was an exciting year for fans of the British auto maker McLaren with the announcement of the Senna at the Geneva Motor Show. Fittingly for a car upon which the name of legendary driver Ayrton Senna is bestowed, it features cutting edge design across the car exemplified by extensive carbon fiber sections on the body, which is designed for impeccable aerodynamics and cooling.

Power is provided by an 800hp 4-liter V8 twin turbo engine. With only 500 produced, the McLaren Senna is hot property indeed.

• The glorious supercar form with complex aerodynamic themes is captured masterfully for a truly satisfying build.
• There is plenty to admire in the scale depictions of the midship mount V8 engine, subframe and the suspension, too.

• Window and roof parts are slotted into the upper monocoque. Outer pillars, body panels and more are attached separately to the frame.
• Depictions of glass door sections can also be attached without the aid of cement, saving a potentially time-consuming process.
• Brake discs and calipers are entirely separate parts, helping to make the model"s paint job a simpler, more streamlined affair.
• Different components are included in the kit for twin or triple exhausts, in addition to US and European spec license plates.
• Choose whether to assemble the model with the futuristic dashboard in either slim (left) or full display mode (right). Even the pads on the futuristic looking seats are separate parts, helping to make the paint job that little bit easier.
• This model features recreations of the aero blades which are housed inside the air intakes located under the headlights.
