Ayrton Senna's Personal Honda NSX Goes Up For Sale

A red 1991 Honda NSX, once upon a time owned and driven by Ayrton Senna, is up for grabs. The legendary three-time F1 world champion's connection with the NSX runs deep. He played a pivotal role in its development, providing valuable feedback to engineers during the early stages. As part of their partnership (his McLaren race car ran Honda engines), Honda gifted Senna several cars, including this particular NSX, which he used as his personal vehicle during his time in Portugal.

It's set to be showcased at the Senna Exhibition in Silverstone later this year, adding another layer of prestige to its storied history.
