For most of us, driving any car that’s even close to 7 figures let alone owning one is something completely unattainable. For YouTuber Steve Hamilton, though, it’s just another day in the office. The Chicago-based automotive business mogul worked his way up to amass a fortune of around $100 million and has steadily built up a supercar collection worth over $30 million and change.
In his latest video, Steve says goodbye to one of his two Pagani Huayras and reveals that he bought two new hypercars. One car that’s still a mystery, and another McLaren Senna is to replace the car he crashed late last year.
Another McLaren Senna And A Secret New Car
Steve starts the video at auto garage ‘Chicago Auto Pros’, revealing the new Senna and taking us for a look around at the specs and small custom details that his team has added. The car was recently purchased from Chicago Motor Cars with 500 miles on the clock and has a one-of-one factory McLaren MSO Diamond Black paint job costing an astronomical $77,000.
Steve then shows off the car’s red-on-black accents – with the wheel center locks, brake calipers, hydraulic door struts, and Senna signature on the door sills all finished in red from the factory.
Steve and his team subsequently added some custom decals, with a Senna logo on the rear wing, the McLaren racing Kiwi on the wing end plates, and the front bumper brake flaps all finished in the same factory red motif.
Steve then takes the Senna out for a drive, giving a bit more insight into why he bought the car and what he’s thinking of doing with it next. After crashing his original McLaren Senna last year, he says he “felt like a piece of him was missing without it” and it was a priority for him to buy another one.

Steve says he could have fixed the original car. However, it couldn’t have the same structural integrity due to the damage to the carbon fiber. This wasn’t an option for him, so he decided to part ways with the original car until he found another one that was perfect for him.
Steve admits that he still prefers his original black and green spec car, especially since he spent a lot of time getting the car dialed in with a custom tune, exhaust, and livery – along with buying the car from celebrity DJ DeadMau5 as his first ever hypercar. However, he is still considering using the original tune on the new Senna, despite it potentially voiding the car’s $30,000 warranty.
Steve ends the video by doing some parking lot donuts, understandably ecstatic to have a McLaren Senna back in his hypercar fleet. After his Porsche 918 and Bugatti Chiron, he says this is his favorite car he owns. However, Steve says his newest, secret car might eclipse even the Senna on that list.
