Celebrating Speed: The Tamiya McLaren Senna Experience
The McLaren Senna, a name synonymous with racing excellence, was unveiled at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show, capturing the essence of Ayrton Senna's legendary career. With its cutting-edge carbon fiber design and formidable 800PS 4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, this supercar was limited to just 500 units, making it a cherished collectible. Tamiya brings this automotive masterpiece to life in a 1/10 scale RC model, meticulously crafted to reflect the original's breathtaking detail.

The Tamiya TT-02 chassis is renowned for its versatility and balanced performance, making it a favorite among RC hobbyists. Its shaft-driven 4WD system features a longitudinal layout, ensuring stability by placing the battery on the left and the motor on the right.
