Ayrton Senna's McLaren MP4/6

<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The McLaren MP4/6 is a Formula One racecar that was designed by Neil Oatley for the 1991 F1 season. It was the first McLaren to be powered by a Honda V12 engine. The car was tested by Gerhard Berger in the off season, but he was unimpressed with the new engine, feeling it was underpowered for what it was, especially compared to Honda's V10 engine in the previous year's car. When Ayrton Senna returned for pre season testing, he knuckled down to try and solve the engine's problems. The MP4/6 took 8 Grand Prix wins, 10 pole positions and scored 148 points.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpIJHyrBd30tocypkvcUoesI60PApARLANgLaI8MKPVe53cCbW1srZr79RCZviFJtP91y1JYh4kyhnTmaPstrsv1POaoC3h25mqoZXefZwlg4NrN8RCteI7i8POpmxuufm9Oxd6dLMWKc/s1600/websenna-model.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="446" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpIJHyrBd30tocypkvcUoesI60PApARLANgLaI8MKPVe53cCbW1srZr79RCZviFJtP91y1JYh4kyhnTmaPstrsv1POaoC3h25mqoZXefZwlg4NrN8RCteI7i8POpmxuufm9Oxd6dLMWKc/s640/websenna-model.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br>Every year, F1 teams design and build a new set of cars to start the new season. So what happens to the old cars? Well, that varies, but when the car in question just won the championship, it's usually kept intact. Sometimes the team keeps it for posterity, sometimes they gift it to the driver who'd just won them the title, sometimes they end up in museum or private collections. But not this one.<br><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggQM0BZQK8xZkhMXJAPT5yCUW5cxF1sGMioqSf_N6IOSPn89Mz4QLjYivnDc0_5X2Gf9ddQa5HXpaLeBTyBaGlLkKGo3mBmDghUVEy43t0PUluHHZdlec1V_B7j88PyYfEffSOz0KFNkc/s1600/765-0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggQM0BZQK8xZkhMXJAPT5yCUW5cxF1sGMioqSf_N6IOSPn89Mz4QLjYivnDc0_5X2Gf9ddQa5HXpaLeBTyBaGlLkKGo3mBmDghUVEy43t0PUluHHZdlec1V_B7j88PyYfEffSOz0KFNkc/s640/765-0.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br></div><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/08/ayrton-sennas-mclaren-mp46.html#more">Click to read more »</a>
