McLaren Senna Lifted 57 Stories To $39M Apartment Where It Can't Be Driven

Let's see a show of digital hands on this one in the comments. Who remembers the infamous scene from Fast and Furious 7 where Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Conner jump a Lykan HyperSport between skyscrapers in Abu Dhabi? That could be the only way the McLaren Senna featured in the above video ever sees the ground again. Let's hope that doesn't happen, but if supercriminals take station in Melbourne's latest luxury high-rise, all bets are off.

We suspect Adrian Portelli might object to his Senna being hijacked by criminals or commandeered by automotive superheroes to save the world. He's the affluent owner of this rare, expensive McLaren, which is now parked 57 stories off the ground in the Sapphire by the Gardens tower, a new skyscraper in Melbourne, Australia. It's so new that construction was just completed, and Portelli bought a top-floor penthouse for a cool $39 million in Australian currency. That's $25.9 million in US dollars, so clearly Portelli can afford to shell out a few million for the Senna and its unorthodox delivery to his new home.
