[NANO]

An Australian businessman has taken his 'rich flex' to a whole different level after getting a crane to lift his ultra-rare McLaren Senna GTR hypercar to his luxury Melbourne penthouse that was recently purchased for about $39 million (AUD) or about Rs 215 crore in Indian currency. The McLaren Senna GTR itself reportedly cost him around $3 million, which converts to a little over INR 16.51 crore.

"When I went to bed last night I just giggled. Young Portelli would be proud. The one nobody knew 10 years ago. If I can motivate and inspire people to want to succeed, my job is done because I understand how hard and lonely it is on the pursuit of success", posted the Melbourne-based businessman on his Instagram handle, with a picture of the McLaren Senna GTR being craned and then later, parked in his penthouse on the 57th floor.
The McLaren Senna was named after the late Brazilian Formula One race driver Ayrton Senna in honour of his success with the McLaren F1 team between 1988 and 1993. While the Senna is claimed to be the 'fastest track-focused road hypercar' McLaren has ever built, the GTR version is its track-focused version, and only 75 examples of the vehicle were made available worldwide.

Powering the Senna GTR is the McLaren M840TR 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that generates a massive 825 PS of maximum power and 800 Nm of peak torque. With a majority of carbon fibre construction, the power to weight ratio comes in at 694 PS per tonne, which the manufacturer says is the highest of any track focused McLaren. Moreover, the hypercar is said to deliver up to 1000 kg of downforce!

The internet was divided over opinions, with some congratulating Portelli, and others bashing him for 'wasting' his money. Some also said that the hypercar deserves to be driven on the road/track, not kept static in a penthouse.
