McLaren paid tribute to the great Ayrton Senna when it put its limited-production P1 hypercar on the road earlier this year, but the manufacturer has gone a step further with the one-off 'Beco'.
The P1 GTR is the result of the efforts of the McLaren Special Operations department which handles bespoke and low-volume models.
The most striking feature of the hypercar specially commissioned by a Senna fan is its instantly recognizable, and not so subtle, Marlboro-inspired livery.
The beast even features one of the Brazilian driver's motto's inscribed on the side, in the door: 'I am not designed to finish 2nd or 3rd, I am designed to win'.
The car commemorates the 30th anniversary of Senna's first world championship title and is emblazoned with the driver's race number 12 on the nose and rear wing endplates.

Other customized features of the 'Beco' - Senna's nickname among his family and close friends - are a few aerodynamic tweaks in the shape of a bigger rear wing, a Gurney flap and bargeboards.
"This project has been a labour of love for MSO," said the department's managing director Ansar Ali.
"With extensive engine and aerodynamic enhancements in addition to the distinctive cosmetic treatment this car has received, this is certainly a landmark achievement."
