One of the main staples of Real Racing 3 are the "earn a car" events.
A recent example of this was Pinnacle of Performance, where if a player managed to complete the series and spend a lot of banked up Gold, would have parked a virtual McLaren Senna GTR in their garage.
The real Senna GTR is powered by the M840TR 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, putting out an impressive 814 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, through a seven-speed, dual-clutch race transmission.
Weighing in at 2,619 lbs (or 1187.96 kgs, either way, just a little more than a fully equipped Mazda MX-5), the track exclusive GTR is just slightly lighter, wider and lower than the street legal Senna and nearly option-less, save for air conditioning.
With only 75 built and sold out immediately well over a year ago now, one might have to wait for sometime for a pre-owned Senna GTR to show up in the pages of AutoTrader.
As for the Real Racing 3 version, I took out the loaner for one lap around Circuit des 24 Heures, calculated the expenditures for Gold upgrades and looked at the returns for collecting the car. Needless to say, the whole venture was "too rich for my blood" and passed over the event.
