As part of our celebrations of Ayrton Senna’s life, the McLaren Special Operations (MSO) team have created a beautiful, one-off McLaren Senna livery featuring several design elements never before seen on a McLaren. This has been launched in conjunction with our McLaren Racing Formula1 car MCL38 livery. With a host of poignant details, both liveries serve as a striking expression of Ayrton’s personality.

MSO adeptly applies a variety of artistic mediums to deliver the unique essence of the 3-7-59 theme. Among these are conventional methods such as airbrushing and silver leaf gilding, requiring extensive mastery acquired through years of practice. Complementing these are contemporary techniques like paint splattering on the rear wing and the intricately laser-etched seat fabric, accomplished through the use of advanced digital technologies. Despite the diversity in these methodologies, they all share a common thread: a distinctly human touch combined with a meticulous attention to detail. From the careful formulation of distinctive hues to the intricate hand-painted keys, the 3-7-59 theme is passionately handcrafted.
