I seem to remember reading in C&S (i think) that Senna did a lot of development work on the cars suspension as a test driver/advisor. Not sure about a Senna edition though.

I beleive Senna had a fair bit of input into the original NSX, from design stages through to his extensive testing and tweaking

I can't find any info on it, but I do remember something about a Senna edition. Anyway, any car good enough for Senna and Gordon Murray is good enough for me

The NSX was honed, and setup with Senna's input to make it the perfect handling car according to him. However...Only the first 950 or 1500 (cant remember which) NSXs made had the suspension/handling setup that Senna helped design. Later cars were changed for some reason and dont handle as well.

Now, TAG Heuer DID do a Senna edition.....

Believe it or not I saw the same car yesterday when I was stuck at temp traffic lights by the Black Boy pub on the Shinfiled Rd. The car stuck out first because of the rarity, then I saw the reg number Lovely looking car and looked very clean ....

If it was the NSX Dale kindly let me take for a drive to MK in, it is not a Senna. Silver IIRC, lurvley noise.
There was a ltd run of cars made with the Italic esque styled S down the side, very very rare.

Hi All
It is not a Senna a mate of mine who does the Graphics on my racecar always wanted to put the Senna Logo on a NSX.
The NSX was designed by Ayton Senna and the handling was the main thing he did.
The car was modified with a Mugun front & rear spoiler and Bilstein suspension and lowered.
The wheels where also changed it was a wonderful car and I would have one again.
I also then added the plate NSX 1 that added a bit more to the car.
