Senna tragically lost his life at Imola during the San Marino Grand Prix on May 1st 1994 however his legacy continues to live on, with many in his home country of Brazil still adoring him.
Senna’s red Honda NSX which has just gone up on sale is the Brazilian icon’s most famous NSX car that he owned as was kept at his Portuguese home and he was photographed washing the car in 1991. The red NSX also featured in the film “Racing is in my Blood” which showed Senna lighting up the back wheels with a wheel spin. Senna also owned two other NSX cars, a personal one in black in Brazil and another black NSX purchased for him by his manager Antonio Braga. As part of the 25th anniversary of Senna’s tragic passing in 2019, the red Honda NSX was taken to the Imola circuit and driven by Giancarlo Minardi in front of a packed out venue of Senna fans.
