The McLaren Senna was designed for the track. The hypercar, which costs a million dollars, is designed to turn corners and set lap times. It is capable of handling straight-line races, however. The 12-car drag race was held by Motor Trend last season. The Senna won the quarter-mile race crossing the line in 10.08 seconds.
