When Burna Boy unveiled his sleek 2019 McLaren Senna Exposed Carbon, it wasn’t just about the car’s design or speed — it was a bold statement of wealth and exclusivity. Valued at an eye-watering ₦3.2 billion, this hypercar is one of the most expensive celebrity-owned cars in Nigeria. But beyond the purchase price, many Nigerians have been curious: how much does it cost to maintain a car like this?
We’ve broken it down in the most relatable way, using parts, repairs, and services that could come up after owning this type of car.
Owning a supercar like the McLaren Senna means every exterior component is high-performance and high-cost. Here’s what replacing just a few body parts would cost:
Rear Wing: ₦94 million
Wing Mechanism: ₦35 million
Rear Bumper: ₦53 million / ₦52 million (depending on variant)
Carbon Diffuser: ₦51 million
Front Fender: ₦37 million
Mirror Cap: ₦3.8 million
Headlight Assembly: ₦45 million
Turn Signals: ₦1.8 million
Bonnet: ₦29 million
Windshield: ₦9 million
For perspective, the cost of just the rear wing alone can buy multiple brand-new Toyota Camry sedans in Nigeria.
The McLaren Senna runs on ultra-lightweight, track-ready components:
Brake Disc: ₦16 million
Brake Callipers: ₦8 million
Lower Suspension Arm: ₦4 million
Rims & Tires Set: ₦25 million
That’s over ₦50 million just to refresh your wheels and suspension if needed.
Despite its race-car build, the Senna comes with high-end interiors that make it unique:
Carbon-Fiber Bucket Seats: ₦50 million
Steering Wheel: ₦7.4 million
Gear Selector: ₦7.4 million
Touchscreen Display: ₦15 million
These aren’t your average dashboard parts — each piece is made from lightweight and expensive racing materials.
Even basic service and inspection come at a premium:
Yearly Inspection & Service: ₦15 million
This excludes any accidental damage or performance tuning.
Burna Boy’s McLaren Senna isn’t just about the ₦3.2 billion purchase price. Maintaining it in Nigeria, where parts are imported and technicians for exotic cars are few, means each fix or upgrade could rival the cost of an average Nigerian home.
For car lovers and fans, this breakdown is more than just numbers; it’s a look into what it really means to own one of the world’s rarest and most expensive hypercars in Nigeria.
