Senna GTR to join other rare Mclarens at Retromobile in Paris

The new McLaren Senna GTR will be joined by four stunning McLaren F1 cars and a rare McLaren M6GT at Retromobile in Paris, happening from 5 to 9 February 2020.

The Senna GTR is the latest and most extreme expression of the ultimate track car from McLaren. Unshackled from road regulations, the newest ultimate series GTR is distinguished from its street-legal sibling by striking aerodynamic additions, including a huge rear wing and diffuser, making it the fastest track McLaren outside of the group's Racing division.

The incredible McLaren F1 lineup will be headlined by the GT01R, better known as the Le Mans-winning Ueno Clinic-liveried F1 GTR. Crewed by JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas and Masanori Sekiya, the #59 car powered McLaren into the history books with victory on its debut in the French endurance classic.

Also competing in the same race, the F1 GTR #42 turned heads for its striking livery. It was prepared by French team BBA Competition, whose founder Jean-Luc Maury-Laribiere commissioned famous Sculptor Cesare 'Cesar' Baldaccini to create its artistic facade.

Two years later and in response to increasing competition, McLaren updated the F1 with the 'Longtail' that would inspire McLaren's extreme road cars, including the 675LT and 600LT. Liveried in Gulf colours and wearing the race number 41, GT020R Longtail was helmed by Jean-Marc Gounon, Pierre-Henri Raphanel and Anders Olofsson to second place overall and first in the GT1 category, a formidable 29 laps clear of the highest-placed car from another manufacturer in class.

The collection of McLaren F1 cars is completed by #69, one of the last road cars to be built in the final year of production, 1998.

Offered for sale by McLaren Special Operations (MSO) in 2016, F1 #69 is presented in Carbon Black complimented by subtle detailing throughout, whilst inside the central driving seat is finished in black and contrasting red leather, with the dual passenger seats upholstered in Alcantara. With fewer than 4,500km on the clock when it was offered for sale four years ago, this is one of the finest examples of this legendary car.

The McLaren F1s will be complemented by one of only four McLaren M6GT cars ever built. Representing the genesis of McLaren Automotive, the M6GT was developed from the M6 Can-Am racer by Bruce McLaren with the intention of selling a race car for the road. Half a century later, the company he founded has fully realised that dream with a range of innovative supercars that includes the 720S, GT and Speedtail.

Held in the largest and most prestigious hall at the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre, Paris, Retromobile is an annual showcase of motoring heritage with over 1,000 vehicles on display.
