One-Off McLaren Senna ‘Merlin’ Edition Is A Kind Of Magic

One pretty disctinctive McLaren Senna is looking for a new home through Bring A Trailer.

This particular Senna is the one-off ‘Merlin’ edition and is finished in a bespoke shade named Sorcerer Black that was created by the bespoke paint principal of McLaren Special Operations, Darren ‘Merlin’ Towsend. The paint features rainbow-colored sparkles that are visible in certain lights and has been contrasted by gold pinstriping and rear wind endplates.

Elsewhere, the British hypercar sits on lightweight 19×8 front and 20×10 forged alloy wheels finished in gloss black and wrapped in 245/35 and 315/30 Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires. It also features gold-finished six- and four-piston front and rear brake calipers.

The custom touches continue in the cabin where there are carbon fiber bucket seats with black Alcantara upholstery and gold Merlin embroidery on the headrests, while there’s a handful of gold accents throughout. One particularly intriguing feature is the driver-side doorsill that has been airbrushed with a wizard wearing a purple robe with McLaren details which depicts the wizard casting a spell in the shape of the Interlagos circuit, Ayrton Senna’s home track. The throttle pedal also features etchings of crescent moons and stars.

The Senna is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 789 hp. This example has been driven just 600 miles (~965 km) and had a retail price of $1,144,233. At the time of writing, bidding on the listing had already reached $900,000 with nine days left in the auction.
