If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a McLaren Senna but balked at the seven-figure price tag, this might be your chance—sort of. A wrecked but drivable Senna has surfaced on Copart’s auction site, offering enthusiasts a rare opportunity to acquire the British hypercar for the cost of a modest home. However, it’s not without its challenges.
The McLaren Senna, named after legendary Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna, is one of the most extreme track-focused cars ever made. Equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivering 789 horsepower, an ultra-light carbon-fiber monocoque, and radical aerodynamics, the Senna embodies pure performance. With only 500 units produced worldwide, it’s a coveted collector’s piece.
This particular Senna, located in Miami, Florida, has a complex story. At first glance, it appears surprisingly intact—its engine runs, the doors operate, and it can drive. However, a closer look reveals significant damage. The passenger-side fender is missing, the headlight is detached, and the front splitter and side skirt are in rough shape. The hood also shows visible signs of impact.
The car’s listing indicates that State Farm Insurance deemed it a salvage vehicle, likely due to the cost of repairs. While the damage appears to be limited to the exterior and bodywork, there’s a lurking risk: the Senna’s carbon-fiber monocoque. If the structural tub is cracked or damaged, repairs could be prohibitively expensive or outright impossible.
