Real Model – McLaren MP4/5B n° 27

Ayrton Senna’s McLaren-Honda MP4/5B (car no. 27) competed in the 1990 Formula 1 season, carrying the Brazilian driver to his second world championship title. An evolution of the 1989 MP4/5, the car was designed under the direction of Neil Oatley and powered by a Honda RA100E—a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine. Key improvements focused on cooling, suspension geometry, and a transverse gearbox, all aimed at maintaining competitiveness against Ferrari.

During the season, Senna secured six Grand Prix victories and ten pole positions. His duel with Alain Prost—who had moved to Ferrari—ended in controversy at the Japanese Grand Prix: a collision at the first corner forced both drivers to retire, effectively clinching the title for the McLaren driver. Bolstered by the results of teammate Gerhard Berger, the British team also secured the Constructors' Championship for the third consecutive year.

Miniature – Ayrton Senna McLaren MP4/5B n° 27 Winner World Championship 1990 F1 Dirty Version 1/43 Minichamps (540903327)

This 1:43 scale model by Minichamps replicates the McLaren-Honda MP4/5B (car no. 27) driven by 1990 World Champion Ayrton Senna, presented here in a "Dirty Version." Bearing the reference number 540903327, the model features a weathered, "dirty" appearance rather than a pristine, showroom-clean finish.

This patina-style finish gives the model the look of a car that has actually been driven on the track, distinguishing this particular iteration from the standard, clean version.
