An exceptionally rare and historically significant piece.
This unique wind tunnel model head was mounted on the aerodynamic test model used during the development of the McLaren MP4/7—a car that marked a technological leap forward for McLaren.
Wind tunnel testing for the MP4/7 began in late 1991, continuing into early 1992, as the team prepared for the upcoming Formula One season. The MP4/7A was McLaren’s first car to incorporate semi-automatic transmission and explore active suspension technology, setting the stage for fierce competition with the groundbreaking Williams FW14B.
What elevates this piece beyond its engineering significance is its personal connection to legend: it has been hand-signed and dated by Ayrton Senna in bold black marker, making it an extraordinary collector’s item from one of F1’s most iconic eras.
