McLaren-Honda MP4/4 // 1988
One of the most successful Formula One car designs of all time.
Driven by teammates Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, the car competed during the 1988 Formula One season.
The Honda-powered MP4/4 is one of the most dominant Formula One cars ever built, winning all but one race and claiming all but one pole position in the 1988 season.
What better setting than the exit of the Senna Esses at Interlagos with Ayrton at the wheel.
McLaren Senna // 2017
A new installment of the McLaren project, I lept forward a few years...
When Ayrton Senna arrived at McLaren in 1988 he was an outstanding young driver, but he wasn’t yet the complete champion he would become during his time with the team. At 28 years old he was starting his fifth season in Formula 1 with six wins under his belt; at McLaren he would convert all that promise into three World Drivers’ Championships.
The relationship got off to a sensational start: McLaren gave Ayrton one of the greatest Formula 1 cars of all time in 1988, the MP4/4, which he drove to a record-breaking eight wins in one season. It was enough to win him his first world title in his first year with the McLaren team.
Make no mistake, this car was not named the 'Senna' on a whim...

1967 McLaren M6GT
New Zealand's Bruce McLaren measured life in achievement. A Grand Prix winning racing driver, pioneering race car designer and the founder of the most successful Formula 1 team in history, he achieved an astonishing amount in his tragically short 32 years.
Bruce McLaren’s vision for the M6GT is the genesis for all McLaren road cars.
Based on the latest race technology, the M6GT was superlight, blisteringly quick, confidence inspiring and safe.
