Video: McLaren Senna obliterates competition

We generally prefer to bring you incredible racing action rather than obscene close-ups, so for today’s Elevenses, you’re going to want to skip forward about 2 minutes and 45 seconds. It’ll be worth it, we promise.

You there? Then let’s begin. Climb virtually behind the wheel of a McLaren Senna at Austria’s Red Bull Ring as it destroys, well, everything else on track. Lamborghinis, Porsches and even a Volkswagen Golf don’t stand a chance against the £750,000 hypercar.

Thanks to YouTuber Gercollector, we can enjoy the 2.7-mile Spielberg Circuit vicariously, from one of the most exclusive modern track machines. Powered by an 800PS (588kW) 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8, it can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 2.8 seconds, reaching 124mph just four seconds later. That will do nicely. So sit back and enjoy the ride, for this is likely the closest we’ll ever come to taking one on track.

Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: 11 minutes of stunning FOS noise
