Automotive history was made once again as a legendary Honda NSX previously driven by three-time Formula 1 world champion Ayrton Senna shattered auction expectations at RM Sotheby's in London, selling for an incredible 871,250 poundsterling.
The iconic sports car, featuring a striking Formula Red exterior paired with a black roof and interior, had initially been estimated by auction experts to fetch between 500,000 and 800,000 poundsterling. However, the unmatched cultural pedigree and deep historical connection to the legendary Brazilian driver drove collectors into a fierce bidding war.
Originally part of a special arrangement during his illustrious tenure with the McLaren Formula 1 squad, Honda provided the champion with direct access to personal vehicles for his travels. This particular chassis, numbered T000233, remained stationed in Lisbon and served as his preferred personal transport during visits to his private property.
Beneath the sleek bodywork lies a potent three-litre six-cylinder engine generating 271 horsepower, capable of sprinting from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 5.8 seconds while achieving a top speed of 165 miles per hour.
Reflecting on the milestone sale, Sholto Gilbertson, UK director of sales at RM Sotheby's, noted that the legacy of the legendary driver extends far beyond his achievements on the track, cementing the vehicle as a genuine piece of sporting and cultural history.
